Lapassarad Thanaphant, owner of the Hajime restaurant in Thailand, chose an odd waitstaff for her just-opened Japanese-themed eatery: robots. The robots work to deliver and clear food that customers order via a touchscreen — similar to Baggers in Germany, which is an entirely automated restaurant. The robots also dance to entertain customers and, entertaining in itself, are dressed rather elaborately as samurai.
The woman says to have spent, all told, 30 million baht (just shy of $930,000) for her restaurant and four robots from Japan. Check out a video of the robots in action down below.
