A new restaurant in China has opened, for the first time, with an all robot staff, in what could be a potential lookin into the future. As Forbes reports:
Country Garden, a property developer in China, revealed that its subsidiary Qianxi Robot Catering Group (Qianxi Group) opened a restaurant complex operated completely by robots. Located in Shunde, which is a city in China’s Guangdong province, the restaurant eliminates most human-to-human contact and may be a harbinger of how businesses plan to handle the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak.
“Country Garden assistant executive officer and Qianxi Group general manager Qiu Mi explained that Qianxi Group has built a complete industry chain encompassing back-end supply production (the centralized kitchens) and robotic cooking alongside the operation of restaurants and the management of robots,” Country Garden shared.
The restaurant complex is 2,000 square meters or about 21,527 square feet, and it has 20 robots equipped to serve a variety of dishes, including Chinese food, fast food, clay-pot rice and hot pot. The menu has 200 items, but they are available within 20 seconds of ordering. The restaurant can handle 600 diners at once.
“During 2020, the group plans to build more centralized kitchens to further expand in the cities of Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, while achieving mass production of robots with an expected output of some 5,000 units per year,” Country Garden shared.

Does this development bode well or ill for the future American work force? Let us know what you think in the comments below.
Who is going to be able to afford restaurants when only a minimal amount have jobs. They want driver less cars too. I doubt a computer can figure out the it has been sent a half mile away from the pickup or the customer is not at the back at the mall. How about the brick wall or the pound it was told to turn into.
How many computer programmers are needed?
None after initial programming. Changes in menu and can be added by owner an his computer.
There are nearly 11/2 billion people living in china, the mayority of them are poor with no enough jobs to go around so why in hell they do a stupid thing like that. maybe are contemplating a big war in the future and wipe out the mayority of them, those chinese are insane . remenber the two child policy it did not work atall.
Where did you get the number of people in China did you count the legs and forgot to divide by two there is not much more than 11/2 billion people on earth and China doesn’t have all of them the last time I looked get it right or don’t post rubbish.
