Is that the future ? Waiter free Restaurants


Companies try everything to reduce labor costs to a minimum by automating, which simply means replacing humans by computers, and outsourcing, which means producing in countries with lower labor costs, processes. The ideal world for them is a world without labor costs at all to maximize profits and please the shareholders.

A restaurant owner in Germany had the brilliant idea to replace waiters with a automated system that would send the food on rails right from the kitchen to the customer who ordered the dish. Customers order their dishes using a touchscreen that is also keeping them informed about deliver time and managing payments with an ATM like system.

    Definitely dystopic, even though companies can’t understand they absolutely need labour. It’s what they have to exploit in order to make money…

    Deja Vu as this could be scenes from the movies Back In Future 1 – 3 where Michael J Fox visits a restaurant or a cafĂ© where there are no labour but just machines serving in the future,

    Seems rather similar to what sushi restaurants have been doing for a long time…
