The rise of the robo-restaurant: AI is ready to take your order


Have you ever stood at the counter of a fast-food restaurant unsure of what to order? Well, that could become a thing of the past – artificial intelligence is cooking up something especially for you.
Many restaurants have already deployed automation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, using innovations such as chatbots to guide customers through menus and help them order. But the next wave of food service automation is going even further. Here’s how.


Pay with your face
KFC is using facial recognition and AI in China. A large interactive screen greets customers with an image of themselves, taken from in-built cameras. After guiding them through the order process, and entertaining them along the way, the AI has learned two things: what they look like and what they like to eat. It lets people pay using facial recognition too, and the next time they visit it will not only recognize them, but it will also remind them of their last order.
