After four stages, China’s food delivery robots have entered an explosive period

Recently, Guanyan Report Network released the "In-depth Research and Development Prospects Forecast Report on the Current Situation of China's Intelligent Robot Industry (2023-2029)", which conducted an in-depth analysis and prediction of domestic intelligent robots including food delivery robots.

Food delivery robots are an important driving force in the catering industry. Their main function is to serve as robot waiters to complete work in restaurants. By integrating and applying key technologies such as autonomous movement, environment perception, chassis, voice recognition, smart chips, and multi-machine scheduling, they can achieve free movement. , collaborative operation, and new development capabilities of comprehensive perception. The development and application of catering robots can be divided into four stages. It has now entered the fourth stage - the outbreak stage: leading catering brands such as Haidilao, Quanjude, and Grandma's Home have begun to use food delivery robots on a large scale, and the industrial chain ecology has gradually improved. The epidemic has accelerated the increase in the penetration rate of catering robots. The industry has ushered in a stage of rapid development.

The report stated that the food delivery robot industry is weakly affected by the economic cycle and has the characteristics of "low risk and high return". For the catering industry and enterprises, robots have three values based on their own characteristics. The first is that the robot can bring huge traffic by relying on its name and eye-catching appearance; the second is that with practical functions such as food delivery and closing, as well as human-computer interaction, it can bring high-quality service experience to customers; the third is Can improve efficiency and reduce costs.

The report points out that in the past three years, due to the impact of the epidemic, "contactless service" has stood out among various service methods, and society's demand for food delivery robots has increased. Food delivery robots can also enable catering companies to achieve "cost reduction and efficiency improvement". To find the second growth curve, it is expected that the sales of food delivery robots will reach 60,000 to 70,000 units in 2023. Take the single store operation data released by Qinglang Intelligence, a leading catering robot company, as a reference: During the New Year holiday, an average single store delivered 150 times/day, transporting more than 300 pallets, and the highest single-day delivery volume reached 480 plates, which was nearly 400 tables. Customers can enjoy contactless delivery with greater peace of mind. Judging from the application effects, food delivery robots have significantly improved the operational efficiency of restaurants, and by reducing the workload of waiters, they help restaurants improve their service experience and meet the needs of young people in the new era.

Contemporary young people are very willing to accept new things, especially various high-tech products. How to connect these preferences with the catering industry and use robots with real commercial value and labor capabilities is the key for catering companies to continue to develop and expand market share. important path.
