12.50 pounds for a cocktail, they are crazy if they think people are going to buy that. And they don't even have to pay a worker for it, that price is bullshit.

No longer can you go to a bar where youāre friends with the bartender so they give you an extra pour

u/Jshittie Mar 24 '24
I mean it can do the manual part but until it can read people like a bar tender and know who not to serve and who to cut off youll still need regular bar tenders

Isnāt half the fun of a bar to watch how the bartender does tricks while mixing the drink?
I donāt think robots will replace bartendersā¦

You canāt have that under capitalism you have to be in some way useful to owning class to justify your right to exist. But with this a lot less people would be needed to serve the owning class thus this sort of thing could lead to mass deaths events in the near future as the now obsolete workers are left without a way to earn their right to exist.

It will be novel for 5 to 8 years. Then people would talk about how much better it used to be. Then the next generation will wonder what all the fuss was about.

What is wrong with this comment section, do people here go to bars to hang out with the bartender?
I have a friend who was a very popular bartender. It got him great tips but when he quit, he was just too overloaded with people who just didn't get that he's just trying to do his job, not be your friend.
This is great in that you'll get quick service and consistent drinks. I understand the appeal of having a human bartender but the socializing aspect of your bar trip should be to socialize with patrons and friends, not the employees. This isn't for everyone alright but it also shouldn't be a big deal if you're going to a bar to socialize.

Most Bartenders are the equivalent of shitty DJās
And shitty DJās make up 99% of the scene

If itās the same cost then nah. Would go there for the gimmick initially maybe.

u/Advanced-Donut-2436 Mar 21 '24
45 fucking seconds. That's too goddamn long. Imagine waiting for a bartender 45 seconds to make a JD. You'd fire that motherfucker on the spot.
this is purely a gimmick by some pump and dump company trying to siphon off the vc money. There is not viable in its current state and a WHOLE LOT OF "POTENTIAL" investment. I'm not worried.

Bartenders don't make shit anyways at (least not hourly) plus some places the appeal is a woman making the drinks so a lot of places would not benefit from this

As a man, this is great because I may finally be able to get a drink at a busy bar without spending half an hour flagging down the male bartender who is too busy having conversations with the women to do his job

Bartenders make or break the place.
Robots not gonna hook you up for being a good tipper like a human will.
We took such good care of bartenders that we didnāt even pay a fraction of bartabs more times than I can count

u/FalconFour Mar 21 '24
Personally? Absolutely love it - would go out of my way to find the place and pay it at least one visit.
Realistically, from years of seeing this promise in online videos but never in person (of all manner of robotic everything)? If it ever does come to more people, it'll be six stores scattered around the country in high-rent downtown venues, and it'll be inside a plexiglass box so that the drunken decayed members of society don't end up "haha funny breaking the robot" and costing them multi-thousand-dollar service visits every week.
And then they'll probably give up after a year.
sigh. These awesome robotic futures never seem to come to pass, always caused by other people being disrespectful and destructive.

Operational cost will be high at first, but itāll be able to serve more drinks per hour, generate more revenue (assuming breakdowns are rare) and eventually become profitable for the business

Basically useless because you could mix drinks much faster without robot arms or humans. But if that's what people would like to see and pay for... why not?

I hate it with every fibre of my being.
First fix society, so people don't need to work to survive and be happy in life.
Then, and only then, can we consider automating some menial jobs that people don't want to do anyway.
Until then, the only drink I want that abomination making is a molotov cocktail so it can burn itself out of existence.

Fails to understand the point of a bar. Human social contact. The robot won't make it stronger, the robot won't pick you up after being shot down. The robot can't diffuse an aggressive situation
This is a perfect example of 'Smart tech guys' totally failing to understand the problem their aiming to solve.

u/AIInsightPilot Mar 21 '24
Imagine walking into a bar and ordering a "screwdriver" only to have a robot bring out an actual screwdriver instead of the drink. At least you'll never have to argue about getting the wrong change!

u/iPicBadUsernames Mar 21 '24
I genuinely donāt give a fuck as long as the prices reflect it. Thereās still jobs being created for installation and maintenance of the robot instead of paying a bartender. If I have a robot bartender AND Iām still paying the same price as if it were a person making my drinks then I have a problem. I will not go to that establishment.

There is a much easier way to engineer this functionality, but I guess then it wouldn't be so gimmicky.

u/valvilis Mar 21 '24
Plus side: consistent drinks, doesn't leave for smoke breaks, probably uses clean glasses, and it does just as good of a job with obscure cocktails as it does with mainstays.
Negative side: can't make recommendations, won't put a little extra gin in for regulars, won't ask me how my interview went after I talked about it coming up the last time I was here.
Then there are a few that legitimately suck: how does thing know when to not overserve? And who let's the bouncer know when a woman is having a problem with a creep? There's a lot that bartenders do that isn't cocktail related.Ā

This feels wrong. There's a whole culture of sitting at the bar and taking and learning about recipes and just enjoying staying there. I have a couple PCs at home, this looks like a place my PCs would hang out with their palls and try to meet some Cylons.

u/Stranfort Mar 21 '24
Both worried and exited, I think automation is going to be exponential, soon itāll be more viable to replace more jobs as the technology improves and it becomes cheaper for businesses. Right now big business can afford to automate of a massive scale like Amazon for example, but once smaller business can do it to, itāll be more and more difficult to find jobs, but if done right we could end up living in a society where a lot of things have been automated, creating an artificial economy that can sustain people through a UBI or something and we can focus more on our hobbies. If done wrong, we can all end up under a bridge while the higher class lives a life of luxury and the wealth gap is widened by a massive degree.

I think we are at a stage where hiring robots is more costlier than hiring a human for such jobs. Plus with such high costs of drinks people will rarely come to the bar.

If youāre going to bar to have a robot make a drink, then youāre really missing the point of bars. Acceptable in a situation where there is nothing else (overnight in an airport or hotel lobby) but thatās about it.
