I have never been to a Benihana or similar, but if you're gonna mix performance and food,
robots going apeshit, throwing sauces all over, and breaking silverware may be the thing
that gets me into an international chain restaurant...
Watch this restaurant robot malfunction and scatter tableware
during live performance.
Just look at the wait staff trying to find the setting on the app to turn the thing off.
You know they're thinking about the staff meeting where this was introduced, and how this
is gonna play with the management that let this happen...
Via.

I've been to the Haidilao branch in Seattle, which also uses robots - but they are armless delivery robots, like a tall roomba, which simply drive up to your table carrying whatever you've ordered. Kinda cute, actually. Not so much room for trouble as the ones in the video!
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your
comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel
they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine,
if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't
try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted
if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and
more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave
such ridicule in place.
