About the book →The Servi food-running robot reclaims your servers' hands — it runs entrees and busses dishes on stabilizing trays so staff stay with guests. Sold, deployed, and serviced nationwide by RobotLAB.
The Bear Robotics Servi is an autonomous food-running and bussing robot built for restaurants and hospitality venues. It carries food and dishes across the dining room on patented stabilizing trays designed to disperse momentum for spill-free delivery, navigating around guests, tables, and obstacles with LiDAR and camera-based sensing. With a standard configuration of two serving trays plus a bus tub and a total payload of 66 lb (30 kg), Servi handles the repetitive back-and-forth of food running so your servers can spend more time with guests.
Servi is purpose-built for the realities of a busy floor. It runs a long shift on a single charge (roughly 10-12 hours), recharges in about four hours at its home base, and returns to dock automatically using internal weight sensors that detect when a delivery has been made. It is NSF-certified for use in foodservice environments, and Bear Robotics reports a typical installation — mapping plus a home base station — takes well under an hour in a roughly 1,000 sq ft space. A 7-inch touchscreen and customizable sounds make it approachable for both staff and guests.
RobotLAB sells, leases, and offers Servi as a Robot-as-a-Service subscription, then handles deployment, floor mapping, staff training, and ongoing service nationwide. As America's largest commercial robotics integrator, RobotLAB supports the full lifecycle so your team can focus on hospitality rather than robotics. This page reflects RobotLAB's purchase price of $9,990; lease and RaaS options are available.

During peak rushes, Servi runs finished plates from the kitchen pass to tables and carries dirty dishes back to the dish pit, cutting the steps your servers walk per shift. With two trays plus a bus tub, a single trip can deliver one table's order and clear another. Servers stay in their section selling, refilling, and tending to guests — the part of the job that drives tips — while Servi absorbs the repetitive food-running and bussing legs.
In assisted-living communities and hospital cafeterias, Servi delivers meals consistently to residents and patients without tying up care staff for routine food transport. Its NSF certification supports foodservice health-code compliance, and its stabilizing trays help keep meals and beverages intact across longer floor routes. Quiet, predictable navigation around wheelchairs, carts, and foot traffic makes it a fit for these slower-paced, safety-sensitive environments.
Hotel restaurants, banquet floors, and buffet-style venues use Servi to shuttle plates, drinks, and bus tubs across large rooms where servers otherwise lose time to long walks. Multi-robot fleet coordination lets several units share a busy floor, and automatic return-to-dock keeps each robot working without staff babysitting it. Custom driving sounds and music let the experience match your brand.

Both are strong food-running robots that top out around 1.2 m/s. BellaBot offers more capacity — four trays and up to 88 lb (40 kg) total — plus its signature animated cat-face persona, which suits high-volume, attention-grabbing venues. Servi carries 66 lb across two trays and a bus tub, is NSF-certified, and leans into reliable, understated food-running and bussing. Choose BellaBot for maximum tray capacity and guest theater; choose Servi for a dependable, lower-key runner.
KettyBot is a compact delivery-and-reception robot with a large 18.5-inch advertising display, ideal when you want marketing or greeter functions alongside delivery. The Keenon T8 is a lightweight, narrow-aisle runner (about 34 kg, 55 cm aisles) with three trays and a 20 kg payload, built for tight spaces. Servi sits between them with 66 lb capacity, stabilizing trays, and NSF certification — a balanced choice for general restaurant food-running and bussing.
Servi fits full-service restaurants, hotels and banquet floors, buffets, senior-living communities, and hospital dining — any venue where servers lose time walking food and dishes across a busy floor. It is especially useful where you want to keep staff with guests during peak rushes while the robot absorbs repetitive food-running and bussing trips.
RobotLAB can arrange a demo and walk you through deployment, floor mapping, fleet setup, and staff training. As America's largest commercial robotics integrator, RobotLAB handles installation and ongoing service nationwide. Call 1-87-RobotLAB to schedule a Servi demo or discuss a pilot for your floor.
