Loading ...Robot waiters fired after spilling drinks and food during restaurant service
The practice of employing technologically advanced bots to serve may have hit a snag as owners report that they’re actually rubbish
Waiter robots were meant to be the latest technological advance to revolutionise the service industry.
But the dining experience of the future might be missing serving bots after all, as a restaurant has fired theirs – because they’re not up to the job.
Spilling soup and drinks, and generally not coming up to the level of quality any of us would expect from staff when we go out to eat, means the little workers’ plan for domination has short circuited.
Despite a huge fanfare at the unveiling of the robotic waiters in restaurants, two of the forerunners have closed down, according to Workers’ Daily.
And a third has fired all of its robots but one.
“The robots weren’t able to carry soup or other food steady and they would frequently break down. The boss has decided never to use them again,” said one employee.
