Maybe this will lead to adoption of automation in kitchen and front of house? There are a number of startups and concepts in this space and this might be the catalyst for meaningful adoption. Not sure I find it appealing as a guest.
- ianbicking 5y agoI feel like a company like Sodexo could create some vertically integrated restaurant or delivery service that radically changes the margins and process. While the result would feel a bit dystopian I suspect I'd still go along as a consumer.
- darkwizard42 5y agoAnecdotally I've seen "counter service" restaurants and fast-casual eats popping up more and it definitely helps without sacrificing all of the human element. I'm sure it helps drive down personnel costs allowing you to have a single front of house and just runners for the food
