Monsieur

Most people that fall into the category of twenty­one and over head out to a bar from time to time to have a drink and catch up with some old friends, or because some sorrows need to be drowned, or maybe they just want to get rowdy and behave recklessly. Whatever the reason for attending the bar, you have to deal with waiting for your turn to be served a drink. You have to deal with the bartender botching your drink. You may not know exactly what to order, so you make a hasty decision and end up being unsatisfied with your drink decision. For those of you with these issues, allow me to present Monsieur.
Monsieur, according to the official website, is an artificially intelligent robotic bartender that makes great tasting cocktails that keep people happy and businesses profitable. This seems to be a fairly accurate description. Monsieur can concoct any drink imaginable and serve it to you with just the right amount of each ingredient. Consumers don’t have to worry about being served a drink that is not properly proportioned because Monsieur will get it right every time.
This robotic bartender was crafted by four businessmen who wanted to put a twist on the typical drinking experience. Clearly, much thought and effort was invested in the entirety of this product because there are so many features and accessories to the actual machine itself. First, there is the overwhelmingly large amount of drinks this machine can manifest. Monsieur has the capability of mixing
300 different drinks. It can make 150 drinks before needing a refill. It has customizable profiles that can store drink lists for individual customers. With Monsieur everyone can be happy. Also, possibly the coolest part of Monsieur is the fact that the experience isn’t limited to the machine itself. Anyone with a smartphone can download the Monsieur app that allows you to order drinks from anywhere for

pickup. This eliminates the hassle of waiting at the bar for your drink to be rendered. The app also has information and services for your convenience. Every drink available has an in­depth description and history of the drink, so you can make an informed decision when it comes time to order. The app keeps track of information like the number of drinks you’ve ordered that night and your estimated blood alcohol level. Then, at the end of the night, the app gives you the option to call for a cab when your blood alcohol level gets too high.
An interesting part of the whole experience is the social networking aspect of Monsieur.
Straight from the app, you can relay a recap of your night to all your friends on social networks giving them details on what you drank and what was your favorite. This is an ingenious idea seeing how many people engage in social networking. Incorporating such a popular part of culture into this product will appeal to a very large crowd.
Of course, not everyone cares for the bells and whistles. Some people just want their drinks and they don’t want to worry about all of the other features. Really though, that is why the product is suitable for such a large range of ages. The app isn’t necessary to use Monsieur. Therefore, it is appealing to older people who aren’t concerned with digitizing their drinking experience. Those people can just walk up to the Monsieur, order their drink and be on their way. Then there are the media fanatics who couldn’t survive without their apps. These people will find the app useful. It really is going to be fascinating to everyone since this technology is relatively unprecedented. At the end of the day, it all comes down to providing the drink that the consumer is looking for, and quite simply, Monsieur does that. The negatives for purchasing this product are few and far between. The only model available at the moment is a version for large distribution purposes like bars and sporting events, so this product is

very pricy.
