World's first automated restaurant

In Nuremberg, Germany, the world's first automated restaurant has opened earlier this month. There are no waiters attending to the tables in Bistro's Baggers. Customers order their meals using a touch-screen system that is placed at each table, and the entire restaurant is networked via a computer system. Each table has been connected by metal rails to the kitchen and dishes glide along the rails to customers, propelled by gravity.


Automation may have its advantages and benefits of economies of cost. That said, one may miss the human element in such clinical restaurant dining.
