Taco Borga, a restauranteur who’s been at the forefront of implementing technology solutions in the hospitality industry since 1980, discussed how robotic solutions have successfully transformed his business. From solving staffing issues, to reducing waste and spillage, to increasing efficiency, using robots has helped Borga create a better, more profitable restaurant. Here’s how. 

Kura Sushi is implementing robots to help the workload of front-of-house staff members.

The chain experienced double-digit same-store sales growth in its fiscal second quarter. The chain earned $31.3 million in total sales, versus $9.1 million last year. Compared to 2020, same-store sales were up 11.3 percent, behind strong performances in December (+14.5 percent) and February (+14 percent).

Looking at 2021, comps grew 183 percent. In California alone, same-store sales lifted almost 400 percent year-over-year. CEO Hajime “Jimmy” Uba credited the strong showing to ongoing recovery efforts related to the pandemic. Fewer dining restrictions and better staffing in states like California have allowed the company to flourish.
