Welcome to "robot" restaurant, Germany
What do you get when you combine fine German engineering with the restaurant business? That's right, you get a fully automated restaurant, or a food-serving roller coaster, as some like to call it.
Yes, folks, that's Baggers restaurant in Nuremberg for you. You don't need waiters to order food because customers use touch-screen TVs to browse the menu and choose their meal.
There are long metal tracks criss-crossing the dining area and run from the kitchen, high up in the roof, down to the tables, twisting and turning as they go, BBC reports. And down the tracks - in little pots with wheels fixed to the bottom - speeds food. "Supersonic sausages, high-pace pancakes and wine bottles whizzing down to the customers' tables with the help of good old gravity."
As far as I can tell, you still have to chew your meal, but give Germany a few more years and they might come up with a robot to do that for you, too.
