Polish grocer Żabka took the automation of its Nano stores to a new level in 2022 with the unveiling of Robbie, a robot that prepares its iconic hot dogs.
The concept has been a big success as the hot- dog is an iconic Żabka snack, and we wanted to make them available in our unmanned facilities,” says Paweł Grabowski, head of unmanned solutions at Żabka Future.
“In cooperation with the team at VeloxAlpha we created the Robbie robot, which automatically and fully hygienically prepares hot dogs for customers with their favourite toppings. It is the first of its kind on the market, and we’re excited that Żabka Nano is leading the way.”
Customers enter the Nano stores using the Żappka app, a smartwatch, bank card or Apple Pay or Google Pay app, and then place their orders in three steps, choosing the size of the hot dog, the kind of sausage and sauce, and then confirm the order. Hot dogs are ready to be collected within 40 seconds.
According to Bing, Żabka has now opened its 10,000th store in a shopping centre located in Poznań, Poland
