(SOUNDBITE) (German) CHAIRMAN OF CARITAS ST. JOHANNES DAILY CARE CENTRE, GERHARD SCHUHMACHER, SAYING: "In 2018 we started with Pepper to take the load off the staff - not to replace them, that's a very important point. / It's proved to have been a good decision, because Pepper and Jaime can help with temperature checks, greeting people, giving information and caring for the guests."
