The Restaurant of Order Mistakes has just opened in Tokyo and it only hires waiters with dementia.

It also hopes to show people that dementia patients can be functioning members of society.

Food blogger Mizuho Kudo visited the restaurant and, by all accounts, had a blast.

Although they ordered the hamburger, dumplings came instead.

‘I’m fine dumplings came and had a good laugh,’ she tweeted.

The restaurant’s trial period is now over and the founders are now planning another pop-up in September to commemorate World Alzheimer’s Day.
