Questions

What people actually ask.

5 answered
OperationCan restaurants own Servi instead of leasing?
Yes. Servi is sold outright through authorized resellers, listed at $11,990 for the standard Servi and $13,990 for the Servi+. Leasing and Robots-as-a-Service terms are offered alongside purchase rather than in place of it.
OwnershipHow much does Servi cost per month?
Monthly pricing is published: $399 for the standard Servi on a 36-month Robots-as-a-Service term and $293 for the Servi+, with installation, mapping, staff training, software updates and support included. A 28-day demo subscription is offered, and a daily operating cost of roughly $15 is also published.
OperationWhat tasks does Servi perform in a restaurant?
Servi carries trays from kitchen to tables and returns empty dishes. It maps the dining room and navigates with LiDAR, detecting obstacles in all directions and rerouting in real time rather than following programmed routes. Staff load and unload it at pickup and drop-off points.
OperationHow long has Servi been deployed in commercial restaurants?
Servi launched in 2021 and operates in restaurants and hospitality venues. Bear Robotics has been a majority-owned LG Electronics subsidiary since January 2025. Total deployment count and long-term reliability data remain proprietary to Bear Robotics.
OperationDoes Servi work in all restaurant layouts?
Servi needs navigable pathways wide enough for the chassis, and it cannot manage stairs or outdoor terrain. Within a dining room it maps the space and reroutes around obstacles and moving people, and Bear runs multiple units together with orchestration intended to avoid deadlocks. Pre-deployment site surveys are standard.
