Great read. Touched on Korea's aging population - urgency is a great driver of innovation. Thoughtful discussion of automation's impact on people and their perception of work. Reads like the shaky start of something that could be huge. "the kitchen is calm during a rush" - which restaurant can say that! No matter how much gets automated we humans need autonomy, mastery, and purpose. Robots won't be accepted long term unless they are repairable by those who lose money when they stop; tweakable down to movements, ingredient quantities etc. so recipes can be made exactly as desired. Restaurateurs need to own the outcome, soup to nuts. The whole thing lives or dies on having extremely good product people at the robot vendors - people who truly care. Bring on the vibe fooding :)
