Robots Shuttle Food to Customers Just Like ‘The Jetsons’

The restaurant industry has been struggling to find people to work in the age of COVID, so some businesses have come up with a solution — actually hiring robots to replace human servers. When hungry customers came rushing back to a popular Dallas eatery, one restaurant owner used robots to solve a pandemic staffing shortage.

If a real waiter winked at them they wouldn't be so happy about it lol

"this cat's fur is wierdly smooth and metally"

Waiter: I don't want to Work yet
Owner: Then we will replace you with a better server. A server who will never get tired, never sleep, never complain as long as it's charged.

If they installed a Roomba underneath the robots, it would be a convenient janitor too. It would clean the floors also.

I think it's funny that people thought these businesses would wait for them to come back to work. Now everything will be automated and they will be screwed.

I’m fine with that cause I hate having to tip servers. Just pay them a salary, it’s so awkward.

This robot server is just so adorable!

It's all good until they run into a Karen asking for a manager

Everyone: makes terminator joke
Robot: is literally robo neko-maid

"As long as you plug them in, they're happy"

This is actually smart for businesses as long as technology continues to improve and costs continue to come down. Imagine if buildings were constructed in the thought of these types of robots functioning, it's definitely the future.

Instead of spending $15/hr, this guy's spending $15/DAY! He did the math! PLUS, they won't call out sick!

This comment section is like old ppl when email first came out😭🤣🤣

[DomsYouTube]

Even though I don’t have a restaurant I still need one of those in my life

[agentswipe]

People see this as bad but hopefully soon robots will take my security job so I dont need to worry about getting stabbed again

[TotalofZero]

Rather than pay human beings a livable wage, let's spend thousands of dollars on robots 🙃

[isaac]

I bet someone still has to come back and clean the dirty tables so still gotta leave a tip. lol

[BlueSky-khue]

This is what $15 an hour looks like...

I’m fine with this. It also means no tip… even better. Servers shouldn’t be depending on the kindness of customers to survive anyway.
