Barogo Invests in Serving Robot Specialist Startup 'RGT'

"Reducing Labor Intensity to Enable Store Owners to Focus on Improving Service Quality"

[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Cheol-hyun] Barogo (CEO Lee Taekwon) announced on the 5th that it has signed a strategic investment agreement with RG Tech (CEO Jung Hojung), a startup specializing in serving robots.

Barogo explained that it made this investment to build store operation efficiency solutions that can enhance store owners' convenience and to create a "virtuous cycle delivery ecosystem."

With the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic causing ongoing labor shortages, the plan is to resolve these issues through serving robots, reduce labor intensity, and create an operating environment where store owners can focus on improving product and delivery service quality. A Barogo representative said, "We will continue to collaborate with RG Tech so that store owners and riders working with Barogo can work in a more comfortable environment."

RG Tech's serving robots are equipped with autonomous driving technology that recognizes the surroundings without separate guiding devices, making installation and operation simple. Typical serving robots require separate guiding devices inside the store to recognize routes. In the future, the two companies plan to link systems to make overall store management easier and conduct serving robot promotions targeting store owners using the Barogo program.

Jung Hojung, CEO of RG Tech, said, "To provide good memories to everyone who encounters RG Tech's robots, we will work with Barogo to solve various challenges within the dining industry."
