Restaurants With Robot Waiters In Brisbane

The robot waiter revolution has well and truly hit Brisbane, with a growing number of restaurants across the city offering the novelty dining experience of having your meal served to you by an interactive robot. While we’ve long enjoyed the fun of sushi train restaurants delivering Japanese food via a miniature train, restaurants with robot waiters in Brisbane take it up a notch by having a robot deliver anything on the menu directly to you. These robots roll right up to your table to deliver your food and drinks on demand.

A different and fun experience for families that the kids just can’t get enough of, we’re giving you the low-down on robot waiters and recommending some of our favourite restaurants with robot waiters in Brisbane to check out with the kids.

How Do Restaurants With Robot Waiters Work?

Unlike sushi trains, robot waiters deliver directly to your table on demand. This means no guessing what’s on that plate, gives you the ability to customise your order, and allows you to order as you go.

Ordering

Most restaurants with robot waiters in Brisbane will have a QR code assigned to your table for ordering. Scanning the QR code will give you access to the full menu on your phone, where you can add items to your order and customise them as required. Generally, you will select your food and drinks and pay for them as you submit your order, but some restaurants may allow you to submit the order and pay the total at the end of your meal.

Food delivered to your table by robot

One of the great things about restaurants with robot waiters is that, as soon as each of the items on your order is ready, they will be delivered to your table. This is perfect for families, especially those with younger children who might get impatient, and it’s something that the kids can really get involved in.

While you are waiting for your meals, the robots provide great entertainment in themselves. Of course, the excitement increases when the robot waiter comes rolling towards your table! The robot will know exactly where to stop, so be sure to give it a minute to position itself. Once it stops moving, you can remove your food and drinks from the robot’s trays at your own pace. After the trays are clear, just push the button to let the robot waiter know it can go on its way.
