uWink - High tech restaurant in Hollywood

Interesting. How was the food? Seems pretty impersonal but fun to go see and do once anyway.

Sadly, the food wasn't as memorable as the technology. When you pay $9.95 for a meatball sandwich it shouldn't taste as bland as it did.

The cool thing about the games is that every few minutes they have a trivia game on the restaurant's big screen where everyone can participate from their table set-tops. So it is interactive on the restaurant level, despite the lack of waiters or waitresses there offering recommendations and taking orders and such.

Yes, the orders go right to the kitchen. No waiters but there is a fleet of food runners bringing the food in. And since you can just keep ordering as you play the games they do stay busy.

And, to be fair, there are hosts who do have to explain the process for first-timers when they're seated, so there are plenty of people working there.

Were complaining about not having enough jobs so we make computers to replace servers...or most of them anyway. Now all they need is a robot to take the food to them.. I dont really get the thought process in that but anyway cool restaurant thingy. Does it just print it out for the cook to see in the kitchen or something?
