ADL Robotics’ Post

The National Restaurant Association Show this year had a clear and major theme – easy, impactful changes to minimize labor costs and maximize consumer spending. The shift in focus from high-end aspirational changes and million-dollar equipment to practical, cost-effective solutions seems indicative of a shift in operator needs. Innovation at its Simplest: This year's show featured more startup equipment suppliers showcasing ingenious, homemade solutions. From mop cleaners made from five-gallon buckets to devices for slicing bar garnishes, these inventions were not only affordable but also offered significant labor savings. The absence of sleek, expensive robots highlighted a critical reality: operators need to reduce labor costs but can't afford high upfront investments. If last year was the year of the robot, this year was the year of the five-gallon bucket. Doing More with Less: Cooking demonstrations pivoted from creating complicated new dishes to upskilling labor. They showcased how fewer kitchen staff could still produce high-end meals through cross-training, simple equipment solutions, and simplified recipes. The focus was on practical inspiration, like rotating garnishes and sides to keep menus fresh without needing new techniques. Enhancing Customer Experience: Bartending mixology demos shifted from crafting complex cocktails to boosting sales through simple techniques. One standout tip was for bartenders to shake a cocktail shaker full of ice water early in the evening. The sound of ice being shaken creates a vibrant ambiance, encouraging customers to order more cocktails. It's a small hack with a big impact on sales. The foodservice industry's ability to quickly pivot and address operators' needs continues to impress me. This year's NRA trade show demonstrated the industry's resilience and adaptability, showcasing relevant product offerings and sales strategies that meet current demands. The speed at which this industry evolves is truly remarkable. #foodservice #nationalrestaurantassociationshow #peergroup

I'm fascinated by the shift of restaurants to more digital systems. One of the areas that isn't being talked about enough is the change in kitchen equipment. Everyone is seeing the fryer robots (which work well in all the videos), but things like RATIONAL AG combi ovens utilized correctly are already delivering exceptional increases in consistency and efficiency in a kitchen environment. There is going to be a huge demand for culinary resources that know how to best utilize these technologies to deliver super results for guests and the internal teams. This is increase in technology around cooking won't just exist in the QSR/Commissary portions of the world, but are already in fine dining and will continue to further penetrate there as delivering exceptional consistent results is what its all about. What are you looking at on this front for your restaurant group? How are you thinking about what needs to be done to reduce labor cost and improve customer satisfaction by taking advantage of tools like this?

While many of us still aren't ready to embrace it, this is what the future looks like. From replacing human labor in performing mundane tasks on assembly lines, robots are here to stay, becoming increasingly sophisticated and capable of performing a wide range of tasks. While likely to automate many routine tasks, however sophisticated, robots still lack the creativity, adaptability and social skills that are essential for many jobs, and are unlikely to completely replace humans in the foreseeable future. This highlights the importance of the adaptability of the education and training programs in universities and other institutions to help humans (I.e. people) develop the skills that will be in demand in the future, as robots keep evolving.
