Imagine a restaurant where your food is served by a robot, not a human. That's the reality for chef Eric Minnich, who is working with the San Francisco-based restaurant Mezli to create fully autonomous dining experiences.
Balancing the need for flavorful dishes and compatibility with automated systems brings unique challenges, yet the potential benefits are significant.
Automation could solve chronic staffing shortages in the food industry, allow better wages, and offer more traditional working hours for staff. However, despite the progress, Eric acknowledges that robots will never truly replicate the human touch in hospitality. The impact on jobs in food services remains uncertain, yet it undeniably opens up new roles in the technology-driven future.

The problem is people will complain about this, they see automation as something "bad" because it is not done by a human. Truth is, automation will become more and more ubiquitous and we will start to rethink if humans came to planet earth to work for a salary, or to do something else. Sooner or later, technology will adopt the role it was ultimately set to achieve, from the broomstick to the ultimate AI, technology ultimate goal is to end work and labour. What happens after is up to us. Maybe a life of pure creativity, exploration and design. Possibilities are endless. Gen Z knows this, the older generations will resist till their last breath, but this change cannot be stopped.
Bro you put it perfectly
Although I agree that automation should replace some of the hard labor, that is very optimistic of you.
People in power would, young and old, would never allow us to get close to them. They feel “safer” being separated from rest of the population. It is a trend that will not change anytime soon. In every generation the rich have gotten richer and the middle class and below have had to work harder and longer to make ends meet. Less people owning homes (anything) and apartments are smaller. I agree that the choice is ours, but the people are too complacent. Best advice: build your skills, don’t sell your property, and support your kids so they can be prepared for a good career.
Good luck.
I think -not sure it was him- it was Wittgenstein that thought the exact same thing except this was 100 years ago.
@@vamonosraza4361 that is some good advice
@@SozioTheRoguethank you
> robots won't ever have that human touch
Speak for yourself, sir. I intent to talk to robot bartenders.
Exactly. I feel bad, some of the AI homies are gonna sadly have to deal with racist/speciesist humans that are just 2 scared to understand or accept the change. But, then again, they'll understand us more than we understand ourselves so you'll be able to break the ice much easier too.
But, honestly speaking, those loaded words that automatically put someone in a box. Some of us humans will just be scared of the change, until they learn more and more about their fellow man/being(AI)
Yeah, talking to a human bartender could be cool, but for a busy bar if you need to wait a while before even drawing the attention of the bartender could be a different story
How do you build a relationship with a robot to get invited in for a lock in?
They always say “lower prices”, however , with all the amazing technology we have gotten in the last 20 years, the prices have never gotten down! That is a lie and bad reporting. Also, for people considered low skilled, they will be having a hard time adjusting to the changes that will take place in the next twenty years. You will feel the impact first.
The difference is that now, anyone can be the head of a Corp and genuinely care to have low prices. In a world where robo homies are doing the heavier and heavier lifting year by year, it'll become a competition of who has better foods for lower prices. Shiiii that's assuming some of us will still need to eat food.
@@SozioTheRogue I wonder who this channel is funded by and why. Their reporting is one sided and misleading. But of course, they also know people love to “hope” for a better future. Been happening for a long time. Look at the facts, not what they tell us.
@vamonosraza4361 not everything is "they pay me to make this to give you meaningless hope because we are not changing anything." Some people genuinely want to change the world for the better. Sadly, humans will continue to project their fear and untrusting attitude on others, thinking they are helping, but in reality they are just saying "this is a bad thing because I think it's bad and I also don't have the want to change anything so I'm not even going to provide a solution at all."

Indeed, what we need more of across society is "assume positive intent". In addition, instead of simply criticizing new ideas, I would like to see more people come up with original solutions of their own, even if it is a small tweak.
You are writing this comment on a website that is literally free. Prices can't get much lower than that.
Also the restaurant featured in this video offered good hot meals for like $8, which for San Francisco in the current year is absurdly good value.
yet... the restaurant is closed as of the publishing of this vid. I wanted to try it :(
I would definitely consider a robot meal. They don't get sigh when you ask for a fork, they don''t "forget" to wash their hands, they don't accidentally "spit" in your food, they don't talk on the phone until your food is cold, they don't feel entitled to a tip for doing their job. I can just imagine if I put a tip jar next to my desk. Don't get me wrong - a good waiter or waitress is a wonderful treat but these days it seems they are an exception.
Why did Mezli closed if it's perfect? Enough publicity, cheap prices, (from the reviews 4+ star food)?
Does it still exist? The website is expired, and the social media does not post anything since dec 2022😢
I would happily eat at a robot restaurant. By the way is the host’s pronunciation a bit off?
Lol yeeeeeah actually give constructive criticism to make them better, thus making that corner of your world better, which makes the world move in a better direction.
My question is how do they address sanitation?
All of the robots are required to wash their hands
So, let me get this straight. These guys have “invented” what is essentially a frozen tv dinner assembly line, which has been around for at least 50 years, and somehow this is revolutionary?
Washing the equipment will be difficult or extreme water and chemical extensive. Unless you prep the food in a way that prevent it to sticking to the equipment
So it’s a robotic food dispenser
Where do I invest?
What if the robot gets too stoned from the ingredients to function?
Whatever your believe is on this topic one hill im willing to die on is that the transition in automatuon wont go smoothly in tes of peoples well being.
Thank God, the Time come when we no longer find someone's pubic hair in the meal! 😂😂😂
So it's just fancy vending machines....
extrude rice? What?
Yay another reason to be unemployed...prep chef rules you get to cook and none of the stress of service
have you tried working in a busy restaurant lol? we're approaching universal income and full leisure. this isn't a bad thing. but this, this is just serving supermarket food at a premium price. i'd rather have a 3d food printer at home.
Well ive no idea where you are but it aint anywhere near me if you realistically believe that universal income is a feasible reality. Good luck in utopia.
@@twitchymactwitchit2501 Governments want to combat crypto with CBDCs and they don't have many options for its adoption. There are also record unemployment in so many countries. We're far from the 19th century economy where every hand was needed to make society run. Now humans are a stat to get profit from. And giving money for free to everyone keeps money liquid and inflation at bay, while continuing to feed the profit machine while cutting on wages. It is very much a possible option depending on how things turn out in the coming decades.
how about that affect workers are disabled we are one of the population days out of work we want to work. We are working hard workers if I have disability, had a fan, put to the side every single decade.
No, we don't want to "work" we want to give ourselves purpose so we don't kill ourselves.

DECENTRALIZED DIAMONDS . .
Lets see the sanitation side of those things. Hes boxed on by employee wages yet unlimited customers exponential pyramid mcdonalds
hurry up and wait as fast as you can, take your time and enjoy but be short clear and concise, partake in the company but don't engage the hired help. Thanks. Enjoy your stay. :). NEXT
McDonald's can't figure put how to replace their employees. And this guy thinks he can do it😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I like my food served by humans☺
That is if you enjoy other people's sweat and spit.
made by, served by, for humans.
So you want people to slave away to cater to you by standing for 8 hours and always being ready to service you? Seems rather egotistical.
@@HigherQualityUploads What do you do for a living, what job do you have? Do you feel as worthless as you describe these people to be? That is even more egotistical than not.
Every other attempt had failed and ended up with them closing because in truth Robots can not output as much as humans , as humans are more reliable and precise believe it or not.
If you can't trouble shoot the problem with a human you can easily replace it.
Try that with a custom made robotic system. 😂
a human designs the robot. do it well.
Well, Robots can learn by understanding, same as a human, but at a much much faster rate. A human needs years to perfect a skill. An AI or robo homie only need 1 time, and it will continue to perfect the perfection. Humans are easily replaceable in a job setting, AI and robots are immortal beings.
@@SozioTheRogue Remember the pizza robot in France and the burger robot in SanFransisco ? Where are they now ?
@Human-bf7kz you are engaging in "what aboutism" to discourage a point. You could say that to an AI if they were right in front of you. That would just be mean af lmao
@@Human-bf7kz I have 3 pizza vending machines in my town in france and it doesn't even have 6k inhabitants.
How do I know technology not gonna be as I help you with disability because they always put that I have to start every single time or how that were fat people with disability
This is creating a problem not solving one. Soulless food.
Already most ingredients of food is "soulless" because of fast food corporation culture
Bro "soulless" food has always been what it is. Food isn't alive. You associate the making of food with a human because you're a human. It's understandable but making food can be as simple as making peanut butter and jelly. Knife, peanut butter, jelly, 2 bread slices. Step by step you do things. There are an infinite amount of ways to do those steps.
@@akiltn6698 I agree it’s up to all of us to cook for ourselves when we can. Cost to much and literally killing us
@@SozioTheRogue bro you should try one of my pb&js
too much barking and old video nothing about what the title says animals misleading video title
We never saw a complete robotic service; just lots of bla-bla about dreaming cook. Try again when you have your faeces collated.

Yikes. L take. You sound like someone that will just complain about something not being good enough, until it's good enough, but even then you'll still say "it's not good enough, you have to also do or add this this and this."
@@SozioTheRogue Want my comeback. Scrape it off your mother's teeth.
Training robots to take away jobs. Yup, still no intelligence on planet earth. 🤖👽 This was written by AI. 😮
