# Robotic Beer Dispensers Asahi's Beerbot Ensures Speed & Zero-Wastage By Tiffany | Published 2013-11-12 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robotic-beer-dispensers References: [psfk](http://www.psfk.com/2013/11/waste-free-bar-robot-japan.html) & [gizmag](http://www.gizmag.com/asahi-robotic-draft-beer-pouring-machine/29686/pictures) Japan's top exporting and leading brewery based in Tokyo has created a robot for the sole purpose of [pouring beer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trust-bars). It doesn't stop there, the robot can pour six perfectly balanced beer to foam ratio at a time -- it takes only 12 seconds per glass without making a mess. Beer wastage hugely affects profitability of any bar. According to Gizmag, wastage "has been the focus of considerable effort over the last decade as [special taps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/premium-draught-cocktails), lines, and temperature and gas regulators have pushed wastage in many high volume outlets below 5 percent." The [robotic bartender](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kubi) is able to replace the human bartender, guaranteeing a better pour, more efficient, faster and zero-wastage, decreasing the margin of error of wastage close to zero. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.9/10 - Popularity: 78% | Activity: 92% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Robotic Bartenders:** The development of robotic bartenders presents an opportunity for more efficient and accurate pouring, reducing beer wastage. - **Automation in Hospitality:** The use of robots in the hospitality industry, such as robotic beer dispensers, can streamline processes and improve customer experience. - **Waste Reduction Technology:** Implementing robotic beer dispensers with zero-wastage capabilities can contribute to overall waste reduction efforts in the food and beverage industry. ### Where This Applies - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry can benefit from the implementation of robotic beer dispensers to improve efficiency and reduce costs. - **Food and Beverage:** The food and beverage industry, particularly bars and restaurants, can explore the use of robotic bartenders to enhance customer service and minimize wastage. - **Robotics and Automation:** The robotics and automation industry can capitalize on the growing demand for robotic beer dispensers as a solution for increasing efficiency and reducing wastage in the food service sector. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Beverage Dispensing Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ottobot-brew.md) - [Beer Brew-Accelerating Bots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miniature-robots.md) - [AI-Powered Beverage Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pubinno-1.md) - [Automated Beverage Dispensing Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automated-beverage-dispensing-solution.md) - [Automated Robot Baristas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/automatic-barista.md) - [Molecular Beer Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molecular-beer-printer.md) - [Robotic Beverage-Crafting Baristas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sidework-dispenser.md) - [Automated Beer Stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trust-bars.md) - [Ultrasonic At-Home Beer Dispensers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/guinness-microdraught-20.md)
