The Rise of AI and Robotics in Dining
As the restaurant industry adapts to technological advancements, AI and robotic servers are becoming more prevalent. One diner, Ms. Deconnick, asked, "What’s your name, robot?" and received a response from a server named "Lily" - a choice made by the robot itself.
Consumer Reactions
- Some diners are open to the experience and may even consider tipping as they would for human servers, like Ms. Deconnick who planned to tip her usual 20%.
- However, the comfort with robotic servers varies among patrons.
The Future of AI in Restaurants
The question remains: Will consumers embrace AI and robots in their dining experiences? As restaurants innovate, they must ensure that negative perceptions do not undermine the benefits technology could bring.
