A restaurant the runs like an Amazon warehouse? Where the staff are controlled by a little robotic handset.
"turn left and pick up credit card terminal. Then go to table 32."
"say: 'how was your food today sir?'

- jacques_chester 15y agoI once read a poorly-written sci fi based on that exact premise. The system was called "Manna".
- enko 15y agoCome on, it wasn't that badly written, and the ideas and insight more than made up for it. I'd definitely recommend it.
- tomjen3 15y agoAgreed, it was pretty good. Of course once I read it, I started to wonder if I could code mana.
- jacques_chester 15y agoThe author has already patented the idea.
- enko 15y agoYou basically just described Manna: http://www.marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm http://www.marshallbrain.com/manna1.htm
