Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to examine the use of robot technologies in the food and beverage sector, an important component of the tourism industry, to reduce unskilled labor in the sector. The discussion is based on a review of the literature.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper presents a qualitative study that explores the impact of robotization on the perception of unskilled labor in the food and beverage business in general.

Findings

Robotic technologies, which have become prominent in the industry 4.0 era, can potentially eliminate the perception of “unskilled labor” in the tourism sector and make it a more desirable field to work in. This shift could encourage people to pursue skilled jobs with a stronger cognitive aspect, leading to an improvement in quality of life due to time savings and greater employment stability.

Originality/value

This research emphasizes the significance of implementing robotics in the food and beverage business, which is an important component of the tourism sector, to reduce the number of unskilled workers in the sector.
