Guys, the future has happened.

There is now a fully-functioning restaurant in China that uses robots to not only serve diners, but to cook up the meals as well.

Anyone else a little bit scared?

The restaurant in Kunshan, in the east of the country, has a fleet of over a dozen robots who do everything from greet customers at the door, to waiting on tables and cooking up dumplings and stir fry in the kitchen.

Eatery owner Song Jugang told a local newspaper that the robots cost about 40,000 yuan (£4,000) which is the same as a yearly salary for a human employee – except without the holidays or sick days.



They have limited vocabulary and take two hours to charge before they can work a five-hour shift, but don’t worry, Mr Jugang also hires some humans to work in the kitchen, cooking up the dishes too complex for the robots.

This is the third robot cafe in the world, and it pretty much signals the end for the human race.

Sort of. Not really.

Let’s all just take a minute to reflect on the video below, and note that Cadbury’s predicted EVERYTHING.
