At least you don't have to worry about the robot spitting in your food.

This discussion prompted me to Google 'automat' -- found some way-cool photos of old-time automats like these: http://bit.ly/292TLXp

Wikipedia has a great article, too, if you're interested in automated food service. Apparently automats are still around. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automat

I remember as a kid going to NYC on a field trip and we ate at an automat. It was pretty cool watching the staff behind the wall refilling all the slots.

Going to Horn & Hardart automat was a big deal for kids visiting New York in the 40's & 50's . Holland had them too into the 1970s that I know of, and lunch cost 10 cents. ( in Gilders)

Very cool, BillyB!

Considering the situation in Hawaii, these may never make it here. But there is one thing happening, either ordering by an app or a table touchscreen. It wouldn't take much to implement this in a small restaurant, just a wifi network, menu tablet at the table, monitor for cook in the kitchen. Paper menus cost a lot, plus it's hard to change the menu. There can be a bus boy button for extra water, bus boy brings out the meal.
