BellaBot is the crowd pleaser of restaurant robots. It suits family restaurants, hot pot and sushi spots and any dining room where a singing cat face helps the brand. Skip it if your aisles are under 80 cm or you mostly serve patio tables, since it stays indoors on flat floors.
Best for: family restaurants with wide aisles. Skip if: your aisles are under 80 cm.

What independent reviewers found
- A critic was served by BellaBot at Dublin restaurants. It arrived on time and drew families, but staff still unload plates, it cannot go outside to patio tables and its repeated singing got tiresome. Owners paid about 7,500 to 8,000 euro per robot.
- Irish Times
- At Prince Tea House in New York the robot brought tea to the table and returned on its own. The manager said it does the work of about two servers on busy weekends; the reseller quoted $16,000 or about $600 to $700 a month financed.
