Automated restaurants are more or less a gimmick right now. They might serve, what, one out of hundred thousand meals? A million? The widely written about, heavily financed semi-automatic pizza company Zume stopped making food before covid-19. The restaurant you linked to is currently closed as well, indicating it isn't any better at providing meals during crises (ironically, many entirely human powered restaurants are still open).
Automation is absolutely useful in mass producing things like canned soup, but we are a long, long way off before it can replace the sort of meals that make going out to restaurants memorable occasions.
