Yep. It’s just a matter of time. And if restaurants are designed a little differently, say with some kind of discreet conveyor system, you won’t even need a waiter to deliver the food to the table, and only minimal bus staff to do the cleanup.

If that were to happen the elites would still go out and eat in a human staffed restaurant. They aren't going to do robo food service.

Restaurants don’t make their money on “the elites.”. They make it on Joe Average and family, and he is cost-conscious enough to forgo the dubious pleasure of some intrusive waiter if it means he can feed the family for half the cost.
