Robots in our restaurants, is this the wave of the future? A mechanical engineer, Deepak Dekar thinks so. Sekar, founder of Casabots in San Francisco thinks so. He has developed a robot that can make salad supposedly faster, safer and more efficiently than humans. Sekar also says robots won’t take human jobs, because there are some things they won’t be as good at. I’m not so sure I agree with that or that I want a robot preparing my food. Read on to see what you think of his plan.

Key Takeaways:

• Since human hands don’t touch the food, there’s less chance for foodborne illness to occur, he claims
• Once a customer programs the robot to make his or her salad, prep time is about 40 to 50 seconds
• robots wouldn’t be good servers; they don’t have the human touch. Robots will be good for doing more menial tasks.

“Sekar says robots will become increasingly affordable over time”
