Rent or buy a waiter robot?

The question comes up often: should you rent or buy? The answer depends on three things.

Cash flow. Renting spreads the cost over time and keeps the upfront investment low. Buying means paying for the robot in one go, or using financing.

Period of use. The longer you plan to keep the robot, the more buying makes sense. Renting suits an extended test or a seasonal business better.

Maintenance. With long-term rental, maintenance is included. When you buy, it comes as a separate contract. The Essential, Peace of mind and Premium plans differ in their level of service.

Renting also lets you switch models at the end of the term, depending on the contract.

Either way, start with an on-site demo. You will see the robot in your dining room before choosing a plan.
