AC Hotel in Miami Partners with Cartken to Offer Guests Robot Powered Food Delivery
The robot will shuttle food from restaurants in the nearby Dadeland Mall to the hotel.
The News
The AC Hotel Miami Dadeland announced today that it will offer guests robot-powered food delivery, via a partnership with Cartken.
Guests will use the FanFood app to place an order from participating restaurants in the nearby Dadeland mall. Cartken’s robot will retrieve the food and bring it back to the hotel lobby for guests to pickup.
