TOKYO: In a country so progressive in terms of technology, machines carrying out human-related tasks bring no surprises at all. However, a recent innovation of ‘Sawyer’, Japan’s first-ever robot barista has been making headlines all over the world.
Serving coffee to its customers in a unique way, the Henn-na Café in Japan came up with an apt solution of reducing labor work with the introduction of an automated coffee machine.
Sawyer, the robot, is able to serve five cups of coffee at one given time. It takes about four to five minutes to prepare a single cup.
"By running the cafe with less manpower, we can increase productivity and serve delicious coffee at a reasonable price," said Masataka Tamaki, a General Manager of Corporate Planning Department for H.I.S. CO. LTD.
Henn-na Café will open doors as a first to the general public on Thursday.
