waiters

This made me remember the Japanese restaurant which works on the opposite principle: robotic chefs and human waiters.

With many waiters receiving at least one 100$ and a few 50$ tips over a few years.

Pretty much every restaurant in the UK has portable POS devices waiters carry around to take payment.

Not sure if its a good idea to replace human waiters (other than for the show effect).

In one culture, waiters are tipped X%, in another, it's just in the food prices.

As for respect, the public owes the police respect in the same way that they owe restaurant waiters a 15% gratuity.

But a table service restaurant where waiters aren't bringing customers food and drink is going to go out of business pretty soon.

As for status symbols to impress waiters and clerks, well, they could be much subtle and cheaper that a ₹1 lakh bag.

For example, poeple argue that in future, waiters will be replaced by Robots and I feel that this is highly unlikely.

I've seen only a couple restaurants in NYC where the waiters have portable card readers.

Each wait is O(1) because the kernel just calls you back when your wait is satisfied -- it associates a list of waiters for each file descriptor.

The tipping customs in the US mean that table service restaurants are a strangely inflexible business where you need to pay one class of employees -- waiters -- 13-17% of gross revenue no matter what.

That's why waiters are trained to engage in emotional labor - in saying "of course sir, it's no problem" when they'd rather sigh or complain; the emotional labor is actually an important part of the job.

Waiters will be in short supply so their salaries will go up and some of us will be changing careers.

Waiters were obsolete before they were invented.
