Most restaurant-goers are familiar with the integration of iPads and tablets during their dining experience but Muten Kura sushi in Japan has executed a fully automated experience, with everything from the ordering to the cooking being preformed by robots, or some form of technology.
Diners can place orders through tablets attached to each table. Once submitted, a fleet of robotic hands will begin to prepare the sushi in the kitchen. These same kitchen hands clear and wash the used pates after they've been returned to the kitchen through the restaurant's unique conveyor belt system.
The only humans employed at the restaurant are there to supervise the robots and ensure any problems are dealt with in an efficient manner.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Fully Automated Restaurants
- The trend of fully automated restaurants, like Muten Kura sushi, eliminates the need for human involvement in the food preparation and dining experience.
- Robotic Food Preparation
- The trend of using robotics in food preparation, as seen in Muten Kura sushi, offers increased efficiency and precision in cooking.
- Tablet Ordering Systems
- The trend of tablet ordering systems, like those used at Muten Kura sushi, streamlines the ordering process and reduces the need for human waitstaff.
Sectors Adopting This
