    Why this decision is difficult today.

    Cleaning ties up staff in the restaurant and hotel industry, who are both scarce and expensive. Floors, hallways, and large areas cost hours every day that are then unavailable for service or guest interaction. Illness and staff turnover create gaps that are expensive to fill at short notice.

    At the same time, the manufacturers' offerings are difficult to compare. Area coverage, battery life, and actual cleaning quality sound similar on paper, but behave very differently in practice.

    Written for decision-makers who need to do the math.

    Manager of production

    Wants to regain staff hours without sacrificing service quality.

    Operations

    Seeks predictable processes and less dependence on shift gaps.

    Procurement

    A reliable comparison of buying, renting, and RaaS is needed.

    Food & Beverage Management

    Will keep the areas clean and free up the team for the guest.

    Taken over by the robotapproximately 70% of the area
    Time savedapproximately 44 hours per month
    Equivalent per monthapproximately €1.540

    SEBOTICS as an integrator, not as a manufacturer.

    We select the appropriate model from several manufacturers, set it up, and provide ongoing support during operation. This ensures our recommendation is based on your space and workflow, not on the product range of a single supplier.

    Robots from our projects are in real-world operation in the hotel, healthcare, and logistics sectors. We will discuss specific project examples and technology partners in person; customer logos will only be shown with prior approval. The figures in this guide are based on documented billing rates and your own key data, not estimates.
