Between tradition and technology: service robots at the Schwarzes Ross inn
In the picturesque Hörblach, between idyllic wine towns and the Main region, the traditional hotel Schwarzes Ross shines as a real jewel. Family-owned since 1860 and run by the 6th generation, the inn is a true piece of Franconian history. In the restaurant, guests can expect not only warm hospitality and delicious Franconian specialties, but also innovative support in the form of a service robot.
The Black Ross Inn receives a new addition to the team: a state-of-the-art service robot. The new team member – carefully selected so that the service staff can pay even more attention to the guest. The paths between the kitchen and the restaurant will now be the robot's job.
Inn and service robot
The Service robot BellaBot is equipped with the latest technologies to interact with and support employees. He takes over the delivery of food between the kitchen and the dining room. He transports the used dishes and cutlery back to the washing station. It is controlled with just the push of a button. Before it is used, the robot is configured and familiarized with the routes in the restaurant. He now knows exactly what to do in everyday work. Depending on your wishes and needs, different locations are programmed for your stops. It can also function as a marketing measure. The owners of Gasthof Schwarzes Ross decided to attach a “chalkboard foil” to the robot. This means he can also advertise daily specials, kitchen recommendations or seasonal highlights as he drives past.
Tradition remains
Although the introduction of a service robot in the inn is a modern innovation, care was taken not to impair the personal touch and charm of the traditional hotel. Overall, the introduction of the service robot underlines the willingness to innovate. The aim is also to offer guests an unforgettable experience and to preserve the values and traditions of the inn.
