Waiterless restaurant in Nuremberg
The Baggers restaurant in Nuremberg has done away with waiters. That’s because they’re fully automated. Customers use touch-screen TVs to browse the menu and choose their meal. Then the meal is prepared by a human chef and when ready, the meal is put in a pot and they give it a sticker the color of the customer’s seat.

After that it zooms down the rails downhill to the correct table. It’s more fun then your typical snooty restaurant and of course it beats the usual fast food restaurant atmosphere. The customers love it. They still keep some staff on hand. Mostly to explain to bemused customers how to use the technology.

    Look Around You: Food

    Food stands for Food Options for Omnivorous Diets.

    As our lives have become busier, there has been less time for food. However, one solution has been to eat ‘Fast Food’. And it seems that Britain’s favourite kind of fast food is Casserole.

    Visit any high street and you’re bound to see a Brown Diamond, a Casserole Nights, a Mama’s Kasseroles, a McChunky’s (Original Dundee Casseroles) or The Casserole Veranda, Tandoori Casserole, Sir Stew, Picasseroles, Imhotep Casseroles or, most likely, the market leader: O’Gravy’s.

    But now, thanks to British entrepreneur, Clive Pounds, fast food has got faster: Big C’s, the world’s first fully automated casserole restaurant.

    There will be no waiters, no queuing, no fuss. Simply fax your order to the kitchen and within seconds a computer will serve piping hot casserole to your table.

    haha. well thats a cool idea. touch screens instead of menus, and some sort of gumball-machine-inspired dinner rails that lead your food right to your table.

    or maybe its closer to a bowling alley than a gumball machine, but nevertheless. very fun!

    and the best part… NO TIP! :p
