Robots Work At Singapore Restaurant Chain

At a restaurant chain called Timbre, there was a shortage of workers. The owner of these restaurants, Edward Chia, decided to address the situation. Timbre has hired drones, and to keep it human, has waiters collect the food off of the drones to give to the customers. It now decreases the labor that the workers had to do, and looks quite cool also. People do, however, have doubts about the drones. They think that they are a distraction from your meal, and you have to make sure that your hair doesn't get caught up in the drone. Also, the shipments of drones costs tens of thousands of dollars.

I found this story to be interesting and cool. I like how they made drones waiters, and addressed a shortage of workers. The drones can help lots of things, but they have their downsides, too.
