According to the BBC the newest thing in Restaurant service is the automated delivery mechanism installed at 'sBaggers in Nuremberg, Germany. Rather than dealing with a real human, you sit at a table while a spiral luggage rack Dr Seuss contraption towers overhead. You order from a touch screen whatever entree you would like to see twirl down to your seat.
While waiting for your feed to circle down from the heights of gawd knows where, you can use the screen in front of you to review the food (check out the cow you ordered I guess) and for fun you can Text and Email your mates, even those sitting right next to you. Why talk when you can SMS.
This seusical brainchild is supposed to make the dining experience fun and efficient. however you just know that the damn thing stops working correctly 6 months into service sending appys and entrees hurling to all the wrong tables, tilting off the rails and dribbling meat sauce all over your lap like some horrifying nightmarish Wes Craven flick. I can't figure out how you would send anything BACK. Perhaps a rope is lowered to your table? Or maybe you just eat whatever cycles down to your trough.
In the video the Beeb reporter cheerfully tells you you don;t need to tip but you just know that some iron claw will pounce out somewhere by the end of the meal pinning you to the chair and frightening you into parting with your hard earned euros for experiencing the "fun" factor.
You can check out this new technology for the sake of technology concept with the perky beeb reporter investigating where his food came from video here. Reservations are recommended.
