Thanks to the great technological advances, it was a matter of time before we witnessed automation in the Foodservice. From robots that serve ice cream, drinks, or food dishes, to others that look like a food carts that brought samples to diners. It is important to take into account the trend that has been marking the entire world: technological advances, automation, and AI (artificial intelligence). They may not have such a large presence in the Latin American market, but it is still the future that the large manufacturers point to.
