Chinese Hot Pot Restaurant Chain Upgrades to AI-Driven Robot Chefs and Waiters

The chain’s automated restaurant warehouses will operate in temperatures between 0 and 4 degrees Celsius (32 and 39 degrees Fahrenheit), which is too cold for rats and cockroaches to survive, noted company Chief Information Officer Shao Zhidong.  The smart store approach will employ around 140 human servers, or 30 fewer than branches of similar sizes before automating, in turn cutting labor costs by approximately 17%. Report and images courtesy of https://www.caixinglobal.com.
