  1. How cool is this "Seed"?

    Does it have future growth potential?

    It’s an aspect that will become increasingly relevant in the hospitality industry due to an increasingly consistent lack of experienced and effective human resources. Surely, the challenge will be to not lose the human element that is a key aspect of every stay or meal.

    Hi! Shabbir!! I understand your point of view of the use of robots for customer service, which might seem novel and cutting-edge at first glance. I totally get the initial allure—it’s something different and definitely has that ‘wow’ factor when you first encounter it. The integration of technology in settings where we’re used to human interaction does catch the eye!
    That said, after seeing this in action in East Asia, from high-end hotels to places like Pizza Hut, I’ve started to feel differently. The more I experience it, the more I realize that what really makes hospitality special is the personal touch that humans bring. Robots, while efficient, just can’t replicate the warmth and personal connection that human beings offer. While robots could certainly help streamline operations they should not overshadow the main characteristics of the guest experience journey. Human interaction and personalized service form the cornerstone of hospitality, creating memorable and engaging experiences that technology alone cannot achieve. Overall i think was a great topic to write about it!!!!!

    Thanks, Shabbir. Nice term : Humanical. Robotic uses are now over the place, at least in avantgarde areas. It’s good to know that Nairobi isn’t lagging behind. Your argumentation points are all valid and form a good strong list. You should have mentioned/tagged the name of the restaurant. And a bit more poignant pics are always welcome. Thanks. C u . Carl

    At first I thought not very cool and free, but you rose some really good points that aren’t typically discussed when talking about the integration of robots in hospitality: increased hygiene. This is a growing concern post pandemic and I believe something that has always been important, just exacerbated in these times and will continue to be on the rise, I’m sure. Thanks for challenging my initial mindset!
