BellaBot: The All-Rounder
The BellaBot is the most popular restaurant robot in the UK and the top-requested model on roboTED. Its four open trays carry up to 40 kg of food, and its cat-face display delights customers. It offers the best battery life of the three at up to 24 hours on a single charge, making it perfect for full-service shifts.
Best for: Casual dining, family restaurants, buffets, and any venue prioritising food delivery volume and value for money.
KettyBot: Delivery Meets Marketing
The KettyBot trades two trays for an 18.5-inch high-definition display that can show menu specials, promotions, or branded content while delivering food. With two remaining trays and a 30 kg payload, it still handles moderate delivery loads while doubling as a digital signage platform.
Best for: Marketing-led venues, hotels, shopping centres, and restaurants wanting to promote specials alongside delivery service.
HolaBot: The Heavy-Duty Busser
The HolaBot is purpose-built for clearing tables. Its four enclosed compartments prevent spills from used crockery and liquids, and its 60 kg payload is the highest of any Pudu model. Staff summon it via a smartwatch button, making table clearing hands-free.
Best for: High-volume restaurants, banquet halls, corporate canteens, and any venue where clearing speed is a priority.
Which Should You Choose?
Choose BellaBot if food delivery is your primary need and you want the best value. Choose KettyBot if you want a dual-purpose delivery and marketing robot. Choose HolaBot if your priority is clearing tables quickly and safely. Many restaurants hire two models together, pairing a BellaBot for delivery with a HolaBot for clearing.
