The Ratio café, featuring a robot bartender and barista, just opened in Shanghai.After customers pre-order and pay via an app they can take a seat while a robotic arm makes their drink. Ratio’s robot can grind coffee beans, pour shots, and ensure that each drink has the perfect ratio (hence the cafe’s name) of ingredients. Founder Gavin Pathross says Ratio solves a key flaw in the typical coffee shop experience: the need to queue just to place an order. Once drinks are ready, human waiters deliver them to tables. Five more outposts will open in Shanghai during 2018.
