A few years back, we reported on comments made by Song Yugang, the owner of another robot restaurant. At the time, they said that, compared to living employees, robots "can't get sick or ask for vacation," although as it turns out, they are able to pour drinks. On the upside, it's a lot easier to fire a robot: simply tell them to deliver a takeout order to your nearest car crusher and make sure nobody spots the single tear of oil running down their plastic cheek.
