During the National Day, many tourists who went to Changsha, Hunan Province to play checked in at the stores of the well-known local tea chain brand Tea Yanyue, and were surprised to find that some Tea Yanyue stores were equipped with robots that could shake milk tea.

Judging from the pictures and videos taken by netizens, after the store receives the order, the staff places the labeled packaging cups in the designated position. The complete assembly line equipment installed on the bar can complete most of the milk tea after receiving the instructions. In the production process, the clerk only needs to wait a few minutes to take away the drinks made by the robot, sprinkle them with cream tops and decorate them, and then pack them and hand them to customers.

Although there have been countless news reports on the Internet about robots making coffee and shaking milk tea in recent years, many customers still find it strange to see with their own eyes a fully automated assembly line operation to make tea drinks. They have no control of their sight while waiting to pick up the meal. Attracted by the working robotic arm.

In the eyes of netizens, the milk tea robot that Cha Yan Yuese tried in some stores can not only make the quality control and taste of freshly made milk tea more stable, but also reduce the workload of store employees. Many people couldn't help but tease after looking at the complete process,"In the future, milk tea will not be shaken. Milk tea will be semi-automated."

However, some customers also raised objections after the experience, believing that the brand's choice to replace employees with machines and equipment would affect the user's in-store experience.

A netizen who posted the video said that among the pilot stores where Tea Beauty put milk tea robots, one of them is located in a certain scenic spot. During the peak period of National Day, the efficiency of making tea with this fully automated equipment in the store is far inferior to that of manual production. It is "3-4 times slower", so that customers waiting to pick up their meals lined up at the entrance of the store, saying that they had to wait more than half an hour to get the drink.

In addition to the slow production speed, some consumers are worried that the machinery and equipment used to make milk tea may be used for a long time, and the pipes and liquid outlets used to transport beverage ingredients may contain dirt, resulting in food safety risks in the tea produced. Moreover, in their view, although this equipment can assist shop assistants in producing products, it also increases the cleaning work of employees, and believes that the milk tea robot may not reduce the burden on migrant workers too much.

The surrounding milk tea stars believe that one of the reasons why they choose freshly made milk tea, hand-made milk tea, etc. is that "drinks are made by people." If a tea shop uses fully automated machines, some people think that the tea it makes is similar to the bottled drinks produced by the factory assembly line."Fully automated, can't I buy bottles myself?","I feel like I'm buying a beverage for 3 yuan. I have lost the meaning of milk tea."

In addition, some netizens said that milk tea robots should be produced according to the standardized production process and formula set by the brand. If consumers ask for less ice, less sugar, etc., step-by-step robots may not be able to make drinks that satisfy customers. In the end, only the shop assistant can complete the production of customized drinks.

As for chain brands using fully automated robots to produce freshly made milk tea, netizens do not deny that the ever-changing development of technology may help milk tea workers and reduce the burden in the future, but they also pointed out that the milk tea robot tried on the color of tea. Judging from the working situation, this fully automated milk tea assembly line is currently not suitable for stores with high cup volumes. They believe that it needs to be improved one or two to meet the daily work scenarios of tea shops.
