Customer Service Content and Notes
OriHime Service Area
In the OriHime Diner and TeleBarista areas, where reservations are required, avatar robots called OriHime and OriHime-D will serve you as café staff members.
Caution
- We are very careful about the operation of our robots, however there is a possibility of mistakes or malfunctions that could lead to small incidents. We would appreciate it if our customers could help our pilots by supporting them when drinks are spilling, and if you are wearing expensive clothes, please avoid such situations by not sitting on the aisle side.
- Touching OriHime-D is prohibited due to the possibility of accidents and malfunctions, clothing getting caught, or pinches that lead to injuries and such. Ideally, we would like to be able to shake hands with our customers, give high-fives, to expand the communication sphere between pilot and customer. However, due to its possible dangers, we ask that customers please understand that touching OriHime-D is strictly prohibited.
