e Need To Get To 70 Percent By July 4th': Miami-Dade Mayor Daniella Levine Cava Hopes To Meet Biden Admin. Goal Astro is rolling in to help out.

After the order is placed, Astro waits for the food and brings it to the table, freeing up the server to do other things.

“I can go to other tables to take their order. I can have one, two, three, four tables. While he’s on the line with the food, I can prepare the toast, the coffee, the juice,” said server Claudia Lozano.

While Lozano is making coffee, Astro’s being loaded up with food for her table. Then, someone from the kitchen tells her on the radio the food is ready – that’s when the robot makes its way with the food to the table at the same time Claudia is heading there too. The plan is to get there at the same time.

“Honestly, that was the most fantastic thing I’ve ever seen in my life,” exclaimed customer Christopher Hernandez.

The idea to bring artificial intelligence into Sergio’s Restaurant came less than a month ago.

look at the bright side - if it spits in your food, you will know it because the taste of axle grease is hard to miss.

And the servers don't have to split their tips.

Here is a possible opportunity for the failed TV and Movie script writers of today to have a hit, maybe. Do a sitcom about a restaurant that has totally automated its staff, matre de, cooks, waiters, and busboys,... all robots. Give them personalities, like C3PO for instance, and make it funny. That might go over, maybe. Maybe McDonalds and Sergio’s could sponsor it. Eh.

Impressive. I’d be more impressed to see robotic dog walkers, that will pick up the poop for the dog.

If you’re going to make something like that, make it at least big enough to handle a table with 4 patrons.
