COOL BEANS

Powered by robotics and artificial intelligence, the team of “ratiologists” at Ratio Café and Lounge will brew your cup of joe, right down to your preferred number of espresso shots, in under one minute. And get this: the cafe transforms into a bar by night. There are over 50 fully customisable coffee—nanyang and speciality coffee included— and cocktail selections to choose from. All you need to do is key in your order on the Ratio app or self‑ordering kiosk in‑store and the information will be stored for future reference. Ratio founder Gavin Pathross explains, “Robots and AI are not here to replace the human touch. Instead, the human‑centric tech frees us from repetitive work. This way, we can do what humans do best—communicate and have great conversations [with our guests].”
