A California restaurant struggling with a worker shortage is employing a food delivery robot to help pick up the slack.<\/p>\n
The Sugar Mediterranean Bistro in Stockton unveiled the newest member of its staff, a food-carrying robot.<\/p>\n
“Look at our new team member,” the post said.<\/p>\n
General Manager Ana Ortiz said the restaurant purchased the robot to ease the burden on staff amid a worker shortage.<\/p>\n
“It is a lifesaver. You know, it helps us bring out all of the food,” Ortiz told KOVR-TV. “The table that is closest to the patio, I press ‘go’ and it will take it right out.”<\/p>\n
She said the robot helps carry food, but customers still get face-to-face interactions with their servers.<\/p>\n
“No, we don’t want to give that up. We love to see our people. We love to see their faces. We love to see them happy and after a while, they become family to us,” Ortiz said.<\/p>\n
Ortiz said the eatery is still looking to fill the vacant server and bartender positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
