How many humans will this Vegas robot barista replace?

Adam doesn’t need a salary. Or benefits. He doesn’t take sick days, but he might need maintenance. Although he’s a barista at the new Clouffee & Tea, he won’t be uploading sobbing TikToks about mean customers.

Adam is an AI-powered robot from Richtech Robotics, a Las Vegas company. Clouffee & Tea, 6587 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Suite B187, in Town Square, is the inaugural location for Richtech’s food and beverage brand built around Adam. The robot will detect customers, converse (“Madam, I’m Adam”), monitor and adapt to changes in the store environment, and prepare beverages.

The menu at Clouffee features hot and iced coffees, milk and fruit teas, and desserts. Other shops are planned, according to a recent announcement by Richtech. The name Clouffee blends a reference to the cloud technology that powers Adam with the word coffee. Adam has human colleagues. For now.
