A CleanBoss Walks Into an Irish Pub…

Some demos start with a cold call.

This one started with a conversation between an R³ team member and the owner of his local watering hole.

One of our team members had been going to Morrissey’s Irish Pub for quite a while and already knew one of the owners, Kent. When he mentioned his new role with RevoRoute Robotics, Kent was intrigued almost immediately.

And just like that, we had another demo rolling.

Kent is a down-to-earth guy, a smart entrepreneur, and the kind of person you can sit down with and have a real conversation. He has several businesses going, so you can tell his mind is always working—looking for better ideas, better systems, and smarter ways to operate.

He also liked the idea of walking into his bar and finding a clean floor that didn’t try to keep his shoes in certain spots.

Fair request.

We brought in the CleanBoss C40 and went after damn near the entire pub—including the bathrooms.

Before getting started, we lifted the bar chairs, moved a few rugs, and gave the Boss as much room as possible to work. Because there was already a relationship with Kent, the demo was a little more relaxed. We weren’t racing against the clock, which gave us an opportunity to experiment.

Instead of creating one basic route and calling it good, we divided the building into smaller cleaning zones and worked on building the best possible route for each area.

Then we decided to push things a little further.

We set up the C40 with barely any no-go zones.

Two, to be exact.

With all the tables, chairs, walls, corners, and random obstacles that come with a real bar, we expected the C40 to spend more time thinking, hesitating, or trying to figure out where it should go next.

It didn’t.

The C40 handled the routes surprisingly well and kept moving without overthinking the environment. It covered the main bar areas, worked through the tighter spaces, and even made its way into the bathrooms.

And those bathrooms were definitely tight.

Once again, the Boss performed better than expected.

We left the C40 at Morrissey’s overnight with its scheduled cleaning tasks ready to run. It performed well again, and the next morning Kent walked into exactly what he had been hoping for—a cleaner bar floor with some shine.

Another great demo.

Another great local business.

Another completely different environment tested.

And another valuable learning experience for our team.

That has been one of the most valuable parts of building RevoRoute Robotics. Nearly every demo gives us another real-world proof of concept.

Schools teach us something.

Casinos teach us something.

Restaurants, apartments, tanning salons, warehouses—they all teach us something.

Now we can add Irish pubs to the list.

Every new environment helps us better understand how the robots respond to different layouts, flooring surfaces, obstacles, route structures, and day-to-day operating conditions. With every demo, we get a little smarter, the routes get a little better, and the list of places where these robots can make a difference keeps growing.

Nearly the whole pub? Cleaned.

Bathrooms? Handled.

No-go zones? Only two.

Sticky floors?

They had a good run.
