Case Study: Cynthia's Cyberbar...
Cybernetic
Instruments Ltd build robots for industry, but decided they wanted to
raise the profile of their company with an exciting new venture. And
what they did was certainly different! They opened the world's first
restaurant and cocktail bar where the cocktails are made and served
by robots! Featured on Tomorrow's World, the restaurant features two
robot-"manned" cocktail bars, a restaurant, a disco and a
third bar staffed by humans.
In Tooley St (under London Bridge) you can eat, dance, and experience
some of the traditional as well as futuristic cocktails served by Cynthia
- the robot barmaid or her brother Rastas. If you don't fancy cocktails
with names like Ethanol Booster or Alien Vomit, you might prefer Cynthia
to make you the perfect Martini - as purists would agree, stirred not
shaken (007 they do say got it wrong). The human-staffed bar features
traditional drinks for the less adventurous.
Dick Becker from the parent company Cybernetics in Andover said "We
chose blitz to provide the security for the premises because we recognise
high quality equipment when we see it. Coming from a high-technology
industry and with the image wanted to project we needed a security system
to match".
