Or just go to Kura revolving sushi in the States. They use em too.
Hatrax
Kurasushi locations in the USA use a similar model to deliver drinks.

It's Kerfus!

It's kerfuś!

I saw one of these (without the cat ears) at a Mexican restaurant in Virginia last time I ate out. It blasted Macarena on repeat as it flawlessly rolled around the bustling tables. It felt like I passed another milestone into the 21st century. ┗(•ˇ_ˇ•)―

These are really annoying sometimes though because they repeat stuff and they block your way and can’t move really fast away. Or maybe I just don’t like robots
NiftyGoblin
I feel it'd help if they had two buttons on their head for left and right so people could reach out and push that button and trigger it to shift to the left or right to let you by
icantheicanoclast
Thats a kerfus
AllMaktAtTengilVarBefriare
Kerfus!
meauho
There are a couple Japanese restaurants in Houston that have those also, although one only uses it when it's somebody's birthday and they send out a slice of cake
Cats2cats
I have an intense dislike of the one in our grocery store.
PeterPanGuineaPig
I love the absolute lack of explanation or context here, just full creative liberty to our imaginations
VitaminJay
Guessing it's more an authority device instead of a customer service. Only the US could make being hungry a crime.
Karlest
I saw 1 of these in a chineese buffet in louisville.

I have seen them a few times in restaurants in Scandinavia. Sometimes they accidentally go into kill all intruders-mode, so you should be armed.

They have some of these at a sushi place in Mall of America.
RetrogradeLlama
Restaurbot.

We have those here. Tom's is great food too. I love the steak and eggs. They're all over socal. Highly recommended https://maps.app.goo.gl/9yvr7bYyVhHMJa1R6
livingonagiantfireball
They have the same in edmonton alberta at a chinese buffet, its so cringe.
solrev
It definitely looks like a good steak and eggs please
guiLord
We have the sape in France... In chinese restaurant.
TheFuckfaceWhisperer
That looks like the inside of a Gusto. I live in Japan too. If you pet the robot, it giggles or purrs.

It's a Kerfus!

Another Voices of the Void fan I see.

I was a fan of Kerfus before it was in that game.

Restaurant with one of those opened recently in Tacoma WA.

Do we leave a tip? 15%?
VitaminJay
No tipping in Japan, they're paid a real wage.
Hyzenthlay021
Yeah, I know that, it was supposed to be a joke. Guess I should have included the /j
ctotheg2
No tipping in Japan.
houghten
You gotta specify 257% so it overflows and knocks money off the bill.
bedframe
Then you have to deal with it wanting to nuke everyone though
houghten
Eh, the human servers want to murder customers pretty much constantly and it hardly ever happens.
CatskinnerKeen
Heck, we have those in Nova Scotia.
liamwayne101
Japanese restaurants in Canada too. Just Canadians don't trust the robots yet so we still have servers falling it around as a robot-assistant.
MidnightxPMC
These cute guys are on the east coast too. Ive seen them in Akira Ramen restaurants around the DC area. They give them little hats for the holidays too.
Equreuil
We have one at the casino where I work

Here In A Coruña, Spain we have the same!! Utopia restaurant.

Kura sushi bar in California has similar LCD faces robots that bring drinks.
xellbe
Was just gonna say this! We've also got a kbbq place that has one that's named Bella
gilliamv
916, and you?
xellbe
Ding ding ding 😉 although admittedly I did move back to 415 a few months ago, but I really miss that kbbq joint.
ucandcantunc
And steal jobs?
gilliamv
Not really. The ones at Kura sushi bring cold non alcoholic beverages. Humans still bring the alcohol or hot tea.
I get the "robot took err jerbs" but Kura is a conveyor belt sushi place already, adding a few robots allows the employees focus on primary customer service.
slartibartfas
A human worker still has to pour the drinks, put them on the robot, punch in the destination, and send the robot out so not really impacting jobs. Plus if you want a refill, the servers still fully take care of that. From my experience the robots are just there to be a fun novelty in an already novelty centered restaurant.
themobileappisbroken
We have them in Australia too.
tototototoro
Matsumoto in Lygon st got them during the covid lockdown
usernamesarehardtofind
In Canada as well. The owners had the folded box it came in tucked next to the cash register
thomerow
And in Germany.
Duskspeed
Few of the buggers at Laksa King in Westfield Southland, Vic
shimmerkitten
Where, may I ask?
themobileappisbroken
I've seen them in a few restaurants in Perth.
HalstenTorqThorkelson
I went to an Indian restaurant in the Grampians (rural Victoria) and they had one. It was quite surprising.
XennialDad
This tiny Indian restaurant in America that I frequent has them too. A waiter literally follows the robot to the table though, so I have no idea what purpose it serves, but they have one!
JackedUpGinger
I saw one at a Denny’s in California
MisspentYouth333
Do we?
themobileappisbroken
Yes.
MisspentYouth333
Cool.

Try Dawn Cafe in Tokyo. There are robots controlled by house-bound operators who chat to you at your table, drive robots around delivering your order, and even making the coffee.
ElderLurkerInNeedOfaCane
Yes Iwad an orihime pilot.. I piloted mechs in the culinary battles... It was intense
ClessAurion
That is incredibly wholesome...
Feeling that you are doing a useful job by society definitely could help with mental health for these people, plus, they do something important too!
tarquinious
Exactly what it was created for. These people feel they are useful in society, have social interaction, and get paid for their work. It's a fantastic concept and well worth supporting if anybody gets the opportunity.
CongratsYouAreHereNow
Absolutely not what it was created for. Humans will be phased out as soon as the tech allows it after learning from the human operators
slayston
I could not handle that but that is totally a me issue, glad it exists though! Pretty great stuff.
AnonOmis1000
What do you mean you can't handle it?
aThingWithTheStufAndTheJunk
Talking to strangers can be a lot for some people.
ElderLurkerInNeedOfaCane
Really cool idea btw!
