Richtech Robotics and Zipphaus to launch robot-operated cafes

Richtech Robotics, a Nevada company and a provider of AI-driven service robots, today announced a joint venture with Zipphaus to launch robot-operated cafes in hospitals, airports, colleges and universities.

This strategic partnership brings together Richtech’s pioneering robotics expertise with Zipphaus’s operational proficiency to maximize development opportunities across the United States.

Through this joint venture, Richtech and Zipphaus will form Zipphaus Plus, which will be focused on deploying Richtech’s ADAM robot alongside Zipphaus’ cafe management expertise.

The JV aims to establish robot-operated flagship cafes in at least two locations at major hospitals as initial launch points.

“By combining Richtech’s innovative robots with Zipphaus’ proven cafe management expertise, we are confident that Zipphaus Plus will deliver an exceptional customer experience while enhancing operational efficiency.”

Under the agreement, Richtech will be responsible for providing and maintaining ADAM robots, the company’s advanced AI-powered service robots. Richtech will also offer ongoing technical support to ensure the robots operate efficiently.

Zipphaus will leverage its cafe management experience to handle all aspects of daily cafe operations, including staff management, customer service, menu preparation, cost management, and material purchasing.

Lina Lee, Zipphaus Plus’s CEO, says: “As pioneers in the service industry, we see immense potential in this partnership with Richtech.

“Together, we hope to redefine customer service standards and drive operational efficiency through our respective experience and management acumen.”
