Combine: - Their invention, the robot burger maker - iPads at every table to order (payment via stripe or similar service) : http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-05-01/may-the-tablet-take-your-order http://www.businessweek.com/articles/2012-05-01/may-the-tabl... - Robot waiter : http://www.sfgate.com/business/tech/slideshow/Robots-work-restaurant-in-China-55341.php http://www.sfgate.com/business/tech/slideshow/Robots-work-re...

My long bet says that we'll see the "Totally Automated" restaurant (exception being original construction, and periodic "high level" engineering) - I.E. A restaurant that can do basic maintenance, self repair, cleaning, food cooking (the trivial portion), receiving) - in about 25 years. The cleaning/cooking/receiving part will be up and operating in about 15 years.

  Welcome to the kitchen of the future. By the year 2000, all of mom's cooking and cleaning duties will be performed by Rosie the maid.
