Bit Corporation, Danal’s food tech company, announced that its 24-hour unmanned robot cafe ‘Beat(b;eat)’ has opened at SRT Suseo Station.
Robot Cafe Beat welcomes passengers at the customer lounge at SRT Suseo Station. A robot barista sells 21 menu items, including coffee and juice, unmanned, and users can order their desired menu through a mobile app or kiosk.
Robot Cafe Beat operates even when nearby manned stores are not open, so even late-night or early-morning train users can purchase delicious coffee of consistent quality. In addition, its strength is that its stability has been sufficiently proven in the market, as about 150 robot cafe beats are already in operation across the country.
SR, the operator of SRT, explains that it decided to introduce BIT because it could provide passengers with a service based on cutting-edge robot technology without restrictions on usage time.
Robot Cafe Beat and SR plan to improve the enjoyment of train travel for SRT users through joint marketing and promotions in the future.
Yang Seung-hyeon, Head of Sales and Marketing at Bit Corporation, said, “Robot Cafe Beat can be operated unmanned 24 hours a day without any difficulty in recruiting, so it is a cafe optimized for train stations where passengers demand coffee even in the early morning or late at night.” He added, “We look forward to further collaboration with SR.” “We will strive to increase the enjoyment of train travel for SRT passengers.”
Meanwhile, Robot Cafe Beat is a futuristic cafe where robot baristas work 24 hours a day and the entire process from ordering to payment, manufacturing, and pickup is carried out unmanned without any permanent staff, and is an optimized solution for small-capital startups. It is rapidly entering office and residential commercial districts across the country, including Seoul, Gyeonggi, Daejeon, and Jeju, and has been expanding the number of stores.
