I don’t think you can go far wrong with something making batch filter like a Moccamaster.
I dunno how much more efficient a Robot is going to be if you’re constantly boiling a kettle for it anyway? And surely it would be a pain in the arse if you’ve got lots of shots to do. Especially if you’re having to do milk separately as well.
For a basic milk option, I genuinely rate the Aeroccino milk frothers. You’re not getting super precise flat white micro foam, but it means you could pull your shots and have drinkable frothy warm milk to go with it (even suggesting this is probably sacrilege tbh, but I’ve never been a microfoam purist).
I often wonder about the super minimalist set up. Offer as few options as possible, black filter, white filter, espresso, espresso with frothy milk.
This whole scheme is for a pizza spot rather than a cafe in my version of this fantasy, and it never gets past the fantasising stage, but maybe one day!
