From:

If one were taking this model to extremes then the person helping with orders etc could in the first instance be an AI chatbot and in the second instance remote.

The anti-vandalism could be dealt with in two ways - CCTV linked to a vigorous alarm receiving centre or just doing takeaway and having a shopfront which is basically a set of ATM for food.

But, if you have a place for people to sit and eat you still need a cleaner and I think that's harder to automate then cooking.

Separate booths with a shower and blow dryer?

Lol, and also not-lol.

That's an expensive way to get rid of a cleaner.

This is kind of the nub of the coming AI jobs apocalypse. Some jobs seem quite difficult for a robot / AI to do but very easy for a human - to the point where the human is not paid enough to make developing the AI / robot. Cleaning strikes me as one of the best examples of this. It's full of out of context problems that a human can solve easily. And the capital costs of a non-AI alternative are not cheap.

Very cool, if true
