Video: Behind the Scenes Look at the Automated Restaurant With No Waiting Staff

Una Kavanagh

BBC reporter Spencer Kelly of Click, is taking a look at a Japanese restaurant with a difference!

On a break from Ceatec technology fair in Tokyo, Kelly visited a restaurant where there wasn’t a waiter in sight.

The technology in the building ensures food can be cooked to order and delivered to the customer by conveyor belt.

The bill is then calculated as you dispose of each dish through a chute.

It’s a fascinating system, but will it catch on? Have a look.
