The Beverage Bottle Service Monsieur Automaton Roboticizes

Would you buy a manufacturer of robotic drinks these men? Sure it would. These are the creators of Monsieur, a robotic waiter will squirt out a margarita or a good Manhattan in a minute using Android, a lot of bombs, and a little alcohol.

Created by Barry Williams and Eric Givens and launch Disrupt SF 2013, Monsieur allows you to select a drink - which includes pre-designed recipes and you can download "packages" that add different types of drinks to the mix - and the machine does the rest . Nozzles squirt out very specific amounts of plonk wine and mixers and drink is ready. Each drink is exactly the same and, except a little shaking, they are ready to drink.

Bartending and beverage service have not innovated in ages, "Givens said." There have been a couple of attempts to create machines that pour cocktails but not to make a product that is smart, funny and smart. "

Givens and Williams met at Georgia Tech. Givens has a BS in Mechanical Engineering and Williams has a Masters in CS. He worked for
Panasonic
and Siemens before he began in lord. Judge Paul angel investor, co-founder and vice president of Barracuda Pindrop, gave the team a little funding after seeing the first prototype.

Monsieur was born when Givens finished waiting an hour for a cocktail. "In frustration I asked why there was only a machine to make my drink. Leave After dinner that night, I started reading more about cocktails and soon enrolled in bartending school," he said. The first prototypes worked, but did not have enough pizazz.

Team beta units deployed in restaurants and bars in Atlanta and are working on partnerships with brands of drinks and sports stadiums. They see this as a "waiter in a box" that staff be rolled into a room and that users can order drinks without having staff on hand. The system keeps a record of what was served and the place can call a bill at the end of the night. You can even change the strength of the drink "regular" a "boss." I had a drink "boss" when I tried the machine and was certainly quite good.

In short, it's better than a bottle of vodka in a bucket.

Our drinks taste great, people love to use Monsieur and helps companies become more profitable, "Givens said. Besides who would not want a robot butler baby named Monsieur? Team could put the box in a pair of leggings and give a thin mustache and you have a real winner.
