Bring Back The Automat!
I saw this on YouTube the other day, and I thought this might be the future of eating out in a socially distanced world. I remember going to an automat in Germany many years ago, and I always loved the concept. Of course, Japan takes this concept to another level with vending machines for everything!
The automat model attempts to solve many problems in the restaurant industry right now – labor shortages, COVID-19, impatient guests. I think contactless dining might catch on.
