The growth in use of robotics in the recent past has been largely seen in our healthcare and cleaning services, however the technology available with regards to catering services has not sat idle recently.

Smart technology within catering services has previously been seen in the likes of high-tech ovens, dishwashers and other kitchen gadgets. However, Mount Charles will now be taking things further with the implementation of unmanned retail stores in remote catering sites for example. As well as a more sophisticated version of micro-markets including elements of robotic technology. These options will allow clients to provide a catering service in challenging circumstances following the pandemic with new patterns of footfall in the office as a result of trends such as home and hybrid working.

Mount Charles will of course remain a ‘people business’ first and foremost, however the technology will allow the organisation to provide options for all of the marketplace depending on the niche needs of clients on an individual basis. From Mount Charles’s perspective, the technology allows the business to operate a 24/7 facility on what was perhaps an otherwise uneconomic catering site. The demand for our vending services has exploded post pandemic, so it’s fitting to now offer a more sophisticated version of vending in the traditional sense. These new self-serve units provide everything from hot and cold drinks to regenerated meals and snacks depending on what the client and team members on site are interested in.
