You may have already seen robot waiters in some restaurants.
They are about the size of a child.They can welcome people and lead them to their tables.They can take food and drinks to diners'tables.They can also take dirty dishes back to the kitchen.
Worker shortages(短缺)have greatly increased the use of robot servers at restaurants. In a study,62% of the restaurant owners in the USA say they do not have enough workers to meet their needs.Sales of robots have been rising in recent years.There
are tens of thousands of them now moving through eating places
worldwide.
In the summer of 2021,Zha i was having trouble finding
workers for his restaurant.So,he bought a robot.The robot was
so successful that he added two more.Now,one robot leads diners
to their seats while another takes food to tables.And his workers
put dirty dishes onto a third robot to take them back to the kitchen.
Zha i says he now needs three people to do the same work that five
or six people used to do.He adds that the robots give his human
servers more time to spend with diners,which increases tips(小
费).And diners often post videos of the robots on the Internet,
which leads to more visits.“ Besides(除了)saving money,the
robots bring business,” he says.
However,not all restaurants have had success with robots.
Chili's introduced a robot server in 2020,but the robot moved to
slowly and got in the way of human servers. Some hot pot
restaurants began using robots a year ago but said they were not as
dependable or cost-effective(划算的)as human servers.
