## Scope

Cruise ships. The operator's own blog says the Bionic Bar, first unveiled on Quantum of the Seas in 2014, is now on a lineup of ships including Odyssey and Wonder of the Seas; that the robots can muddle, stir, shake and strain drinks from 30 spirits and 21 mixers, mixing two drinks per minute and up to 1,000 a day; and that guests order on a tablet or with staff. The operator's own account, last modified in 2022; it does not say how many ships have it today or how bar staffing changed.

## What this means

On some cruise ships, the drink itself is mixed by a robot; people are still around to take orders.

## What it does not show yet

One operator's novelty bars; nothing on how common this is or what it did to bartending jobs.
