At ZOX Robotics, our mission is to help businesses operate more efficiently through practical automation. Recently, we successfully implemented one of our service robots at Yokoso, a sushi restaurant in South Carolina — and the results have been outstanding.

Supporting staff where it matters most

Restaurants operate in fast-paced environments where every minute counts. During peak hours, servers juggle multiple responsibilities: taking orders, delivering food, clearing tables, and ensuring guests feel attended to.
Our robot was introduced to support the team specifically with the collection of dirty dishes and internal transport tasks. By automating these repetitive movements between dining areas and the kitchen, the robot reduces unnecessary back-and-forth trips for staff.
The impact was immediate.
Servers are now able to dedicate more time to customer interaction and service quality, while operational flow inside the restaurant has become smoother and more organized.

Improving efficiency without replacing people

One of the most important aspects of this implementation is that the robot is not replacing staff — it is empowering them.
By handling routine transport tasks, the robot helps:

  • Reduce physical strain on employees

  • Optimize time management during rush hours

  • Improve table turnover efficiency

  • Maintain cleaner dining areas more consistently

This creates a better experience for both employees and customers.

A successful integration

From setup to daily operation, the integration process was seamless. The Yokoso team embraced the technology quickly, and the robot adapted efficiently to the restaurant’s layout and workflow.
The success of this implementation reinforces what we believe: automation works best when it complements human teams.

Expanding automation across industries

Restaurants are just one of many industries that can benefit from service robotics. As labor challenges and operational costs continue to impact businesses, practical automation is becoming a strategic advantage.
We are ready to bring intelligent robotic solutions to more restaurants and new industries looking to improve efficiency and modernize their operations.
