The role of the first collaborating Pepper
Floor Guide
This time, Pepper is not at the front but at the back side of the store.
After greeting to the customers, he will guide the floor.
We have build a lead to Pepper as soon as customers enter the store so that
they can get to know the location of the games, bar counter, and wash room by a glance.

Pepper can Recommend you the games you'll like it.
