Coming soon to a restaurant near you.

An employee who, never gets sick, can't get the COVID, doesn't show up late, doesn't take breaks, doesn't take drugs, can't show up drunk or drink on the job, doesn't talk back, doesn't take vacations, always is punctual and treats every customer exactly the same. Then even more benefits or should I say lack thereof, no payroll, no payroll taxes to pay, no health benefits and can be depreciated.


New London restaurant’s answer to staff shortages: robots

These robots are quite an investment. The ones which use a mapping system to find their way to your table start at about $18,000, and the ones that use a magnetic strip with a chip in it in front of the table to find the location cost between $6,000 and $8,000.

Is it really a big investment to replace a human if a robot can do the job?

Hahaha I wish I was there to watch. This is gonna be good. There needs to be a follow up interview in about 6 months.

“What would you like to drink this evening? oh and have any of y’all seen this boy?

[Balisong]

I don't see how they could screw up my order any more than every $15/hour McDonald's employee manages to.

A lot of places have already eliminated the order-taking and payment human interactions with tablets and card readers at the table. This seems like a logical extension of that.

Technically, it doesn't seem overly complicated. You're asking the robot to move between fixed locations and stop if it doesn't have a clear path.

Like the robots that clean In stop and shop. Lol. It’s a world going to roombas.

There have been robots working at the VA for a few years now. I'm not sure what they do but they will stop if you step in front of them.

Should make the overall tab smaller too. I mean, who the hell is going to tip a robot?

If it fucks up my order, I'll tip it right over.
