Expansion of Serving Robot Deployment in Restaurants Nationwide

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Baedal Minjok (hereinafter Baemin) operator Woowa Brothers (CEO Kim Beom-jun) announced on the 31st that it will supply 100 serving robots 'Dilly Plate' to dining establishments operated by SFG Shinhwa Food Group within this year.

SFG Shinhwa Food Group operates over 20 dining brands including Woosulhwa, Cheonjiyun, Songdo Galbi, Ginza, and Hain Teacher, and is a leading domestic dining company with about 110 directly managed stores nationwide. SFG Shinhwa Food Group plans to introduce an average of 3 Dilly Plates per store, focusing on large stores where employee work efficiency can be improved. Five stores have already introduced the serving robot service and are seeing positive results.

A representative of SFG Shinhwa Food Group explained, "To respond to the rapidly changing dining environment, continuous changes in line with trends are necessary," adding, "We decided to expand the introduction of serving robots to reduce employee physical burden and provide meticulous service to customers."

Baemin has been lowering the barrier for popularizing serving robots by launching short-term rental products last month. Additionally, a discount event allowing the use of serving robots at up to 47% off will continue until next month. Depending on functions and manufacturers, there are 5 models of Dilly Plate operating in 305 restaurants nationwide.

Kim Yo-seop, head of the Robot Business Division at Woowa Brothers, said, "As safe food tech and contactless services rapidly spread in the dining industry, the supply of serving robots is increasing," and added, "Woowa Brothers plans to introduce smart restaurant services applying various AI technologies such as cooking robots and packaging solutions, starting with serving robots."
