Go Robots!
The same thing we did with all the operators who were replaced in the automotive automation industry.
They become operators for building those robots.
Or they become mechanics/maintenance for repairing those robots.
Or they become checkout folk, waiters, waitresses, counter clerks and other folk for businesses who do not use the robots for those functions.

The problem I am seeing is in the amount of variable solutions within the food service industry. This is, of course, secondary to the conversation and ambience aspect of serving tables, which is a very important part of the dining out experience.
I agree with you for the most part.
But I think "no robots in the serving industry" isn't realistic.
There's going to be a niche market, at the minimum.
I mean, there's already a niche market for dining out where talking is prohibited.
There will be a niche market for a restaurant where all the servers are robots. For sure. If the price is acceptable, it will even be before the robots can learn. It's just a "cool factor" that will appeal to some people.
Will it grow from there? I think that's the questions jar is trying to get at...
