HOLLYWOOD, Fla. β Itβs a scenario straight out of βThe Jetsons.β A South Florida restaurant owner is using dining-room robots for touchless, socially distanced seating and ordering.
Joy Wang, the owner of Mr. Q Crab House in Hollywood, bought three robo-staff members for $30,000, the Sun-Sentinel reported. Wang said she invested in the robotic workers because she is having difficulty filling shifts of servers and front-of-house staffers at the Cajun seafood restaurant.

Think of it this way, you probably won’t have to worry about sagging, an over abundance of tats (in some cases), or weight gain from some of the Hooter’s bots.
Oh Yeah - the future of dining out - as few human employees as possible. Its all about the cost of staffing not-dependable humans.

After last year and 0%, 25%, 50% capacity rules, masking and other nonsense, do you see why many people are gun-shy with going back?
Not in restaurants or food service, but I will not go back to work in an office or an environment until the mask mandate is removed.
I can’t blame the owner. Florida approves a $15 minwage last year, and lots of people simply don’t want to go back to work.
Seriously - properly employed, robotics could lead to much better results than unintelligent, unmotivated, impolite, unhygienic and downright surly fast food employees.
There is a sushi chain that is similar. Humans sit you at your seat and bring your drinks, but you either help your self from a conveyor belt that has sushi coming by your table or order from a menu and your order comes out on a different conveyor belt. When finished, you feed your dishes into a slot and that’s how they figure your bill. You do settle your bill with a person (who makes sure your put all your dishes in).
Lovely Rita, Meter Maid, and she comes with her own meter!
Had to visit an Advance Auto Parts warehouse. I couldn’t believe the ages of some of the employees. They had to be in their mid eighties. They moved like molasses but the manager told me they pulled their weight. I also see lots of elderly people working at my local Ace Hardware. By elderly, I mean mid eighties. (Elderly is 20 years older than me. When I’m in my mid eighties it’ll be 105 or so.)
The Ace always has signs up looking for employees. The same is true at the Gulf Coast Lumber store.
There are loads of young people and I have to wonder why they are so seldom seen at these places as employees.
When Hooters gets robots, I might ask one of the robot waitresses on a date.
Think about it. Who misses elevator operators for example?
Not yet. Wait for the Cherry-2000 to come out.
I’ll eat at home.

Strange they still exist... in the Philippines
Send in the Fembots!!!
Unloaded of course.
Iβm in a manufacturing environment that is somewhat automated.
A lot of people have been there for decades. Most of what the operators do by hand has been a tough act to follow for machines. Itβs been tried. On the horizon a mechanical wonder is not too far off from being implemented.
There are refinements to be made and the transition will be gradual.
Some people retire and get hired back because of experience and solid work history. Others come back as consultants that were in other jobs.
Finding new operators has been extremely hard. It isnβt tough labor but itβs usually shift and repetitive in a very clean environment.
Better virus protection?
Appearance.

Left a Central Florida drive-through displaying a sign: “Hiringβ$100 bonus”
