Executive Summary
Robolab is a service robotics company delivering major change in the food and beverages industry. As part of our service revolution, we have designed an autonomous bartending unit that is considerably faster and more capable than the regular human workforce in that position. With several advantages, it breaks through the usual bartending bottlenecks and turns losses into profits with ease. The bartender of the future is called “Yanu” and has its own AI-powered soul that already knows a wide range of beverage recipes, communicates with customers and once filled can perform its duties without human input.
The team at Robolab includes university scientists, top designers, and entertainment and bar industry professionals that have gathered to create new and exciting solutions in service robotics. The company has advisors from a wide range of fields and is constantly recruiting currently building our sales force. Our inventions and patents are owned by the company as are all our other assets and rights. Yanu is currently being tested and prototyped, so the future is very close indeed.
The market is huge. Busy public areas where beverages are served anywhere in the world will form our playground. Despite Yanu’s extensive potential and broad appeal, we will begin by targeting our closest market — the European Union. Robolab already has several sales managers across Europe and initial agreements are in place thanks to our flexible contracts and rising interest in our solutions to common problems in the beverages industry. Yanu is a small unit and with its amazing design fits well into every environment. This makes the unit suitable for large transportation hubs, nightlife venues, big events and any place with lots of people that are usually waiting in a line to be served. Robolab plans to cross-market our machine in cooperation with major beverages companies, creating a highly visible and novelty advertising space with this futuristic robotic bartender. Yanu will speak for itself!
The Yanu token has been created to boost our production cycle and scale up manufacturing… and more! We are creating several options for our clients to benefit from the token. For instance, solid discounts when purchasing the Yanu units, as well as the necessary services and beverages for venues. We have set up a safe system to convert your product placement into Yanu tokens.
Feel free to get acquainted with the details of this exciting opportunity below. In addition, you will find a detailed description of our team, financials, business model, business roadmap plus everything you need to know about the ICO and Yanu token economics.
Vision
