Sawatdee Thai Restaurants is excited to introduce “DeeDee.” DeeDee is a new server assistant robot created by Bear Robotics of Redwood City, California. DeeDee is the first robot of this type operating in Minnesota. DeeDee is designed to automate repetitive manual work which allows the restaurant staff to focus on outstanding customer service. DeeDee (represented by ดิด)ิ loosely translates as “very good” in the Thai language. As a
result, Sawatdee staff nicknamed the robot “DeeDee.” (Auspiciously, “Dee” is the last syllable in Sawatdee!)
Supenn Harrison, the founder of Sawatdee Thai Restaurants, feels very optimistic about the addition of DeeDee to her staff. “With the staffing shortages, ‘DeeDee’ provides an extra hand
when we really need it,” Supenn adds, “The staff and the customers really love her!”
Come for lunch or dinner to see DeeDee in action. DeeDee is presently working at Sawatdee’s
Minneapolis and Maple Grove locations. Sawatdee Minneapolis is located at 607 Washington
Ave South in downtown Minneapolis. Sawatdee and Zushiya of Maple Grove is located at 7885
Main Street in Maple Grove, Minnesota.

Bear Robotics is a robotics and artificial intelligence company founded in 2017. Bear Robotics
addresses the increasing pressures facing the foodservice industry. These pressures include
rising wages, labor supply shortages, and the need to improve cost efficiency. Bear Robotics
robots are designed to work alongside humans to help address these industry challenges while
simultaneously elevating the customer experience. Servi is their first mass-produced robot and can autonomously carry food, drinks, and dirty dishes between the kitchen and tables in a dining
facility. This allows restaurant staff more time to enhance the customer’s dining experience.
