It can't exactly take a table's order, and if it were to replace "food runners" you would need an army of these things. They would be stuck in log jams waiting for customers to walk by, or smashing into people spilling food. It might work in a bar/diner style layout but in those cases the people taking your order usually seem to have plenty of time to pass you your food. Maybe a completely mechanized system would work, where you order off a touch pad of some kind and pay by card only. Though, I'm afraid that would end up in the same disarray as walmart self checkout.]]>Mar 12th 2010 4:20PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/Mar 12th 2010 10:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/Mar 12th 2010 10:32AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/Mar 12th 2010 10:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/http://www.engadget.com/2010/03/12/toshibas-wheelie-robot-carries-your-dinner-doesn-t-do-burnouts/Have each table have an I.D. tag, Chef puts food on it, and away it goes.
