They're not our conspirtors as of this time. At these restaurants, the robots are here to serve you.
When ever someone says "robot restaurant, " I first think of an LED and laser show at a Tokyo venue where remote-controlled robots dance with bikini-clad girls in a physical show that accompanies supper.

But the reality of robot restaurants is generally much more pedestrian and low-class.

One of these is Eatsa, the San Francisco-based restaurant company that takes orders through iPads and dispenses meals through automated machines. Until now, Eatsa has been using this tech to serve up quinoa bowls to health-food fans in the own restaurants. But the company announced Friday that is actually expanding its robotic platform to the fast-casual restaurant chain Wow Bao next month.

Tap on your cubby to get your food



At Chicago-based Wow Bao, you can already order your steamed buns via its application or an on-site kiosk. But with Eatsa's tech, you'll also manage to gather your meal from an LED-lit cubbyhole displaying your name. Text showing on the front of the cubby, one amid a larger array, will tell you whenever your order is cooking and once you can double-tap on the box to gather your meal.

It's a quick transformation for Eatsa, which only a couple weeks in the past announced the closing of five of its eight restaurants across the country. The company has switched its focus to offering automated tech as a platform to other restaurants such as Wow Bao.

A mixture of artificial intelligence, personal screens, robotics and -- perhaps most crucially -- the readiness of hungry customers to skip human interaction is coming at the right time to make Eatsa's shift possible. It's part of any sluggish creep of technology which transforming our activities of dining out, and even dining in, thanks to advances in delivery tech.

Eatsa's concept might appear exotic today, but Neil Stern, senior partner at retail consulting firm McMillan Doolittle, said we can expect to see more of this kind of tech popping up. "Does it seem sensible to cover assembly of orders and deliver via an office? " he said. "Maybe not. But Eatsa does present a vision of the future that will be copied or enhanced. "

The first Eatsa-equipped Wow Bao will open in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago on Dec. you. Using the technology, Incredible Bao plans to increase its sites in 2018. It currently has seven company-owned locations, plus airport terminal, college or university campus, hotel and stadium franchises.

"When I actually first heard about Eatsa opening in San Francisco, I jumped on a plane to come see it, " Wow Bao President Geoff Alexander said in a statement. Alexander praised the technology as both entertaining and successful. "I knew instantly that Eatsa would be the perfect technology to include into our future locations. "

Do robots are supposed to be in the kitchen?
In Eatsa and soon at Wow Bao, the automatic technology is front and center in the restaurant, serving customers and providing them with an experience to go along with their takeout. In other restaurants, robots remain strictly consigned to your kitchen.

At Cafe X and Zume, both based in Bay area, automated programs make lattes and pizza, respectively. California startup Miso Robotics has built a kitchen assistant robot called Flippy, which from early 2018 is expected to be grilling burgers in CaliBurger restaurants.
