I don't even know how to comment on this. The restaurant industry isn't just about food. It's about life. It may make just 3.5% of world's GDP but for many people it's most of what they do outside of home. I feel it more acutely than ever now when all restaurants are closed due to the quarantine, in our place.
- repsilat 7y agoSure, it's a big part of life for many, but my question is whether it'd be better if it were cheaper. If all of the staff were replaced by robots and prices dropped by 20% GDP would go down, but society as a whole would be richer.
- anovikov 7y agoOfc not. Personal service by real people is essential to the experience.
- veggieburglar 7y ago“Richer” is an interesting word here, with the connotations to food and pleasure. I, for one, would not find a world of robot restaurants to be a “richer” experience.
