In large-enough scale food serving operations (i.e. hotels) I imagine it is already automated to a large extent. It's the domestic dishwashing use case that Andrew Ng's robot was trying to solve. For smaller restaurants, the capital cost of standardized automation may be significantly higher than the marginal cost of low-wage dishwashing labor, who also can accomplish other tasks around the restaurant, like bussing, prepping, and cleaning, and therefore might not be worth it.
