Robots ...are now posing as a serious competition for jobs in this service industry due to the coronavirus pandemic which discourages close human contacts.

Haidilao's first flagship smart restaurant in Beijing, which opened almost two years ago, showcases how robots can save money. It has a cold room that houses nine robotic arms made by Panasonic. These appendages pick fresh meat and vegetables from a shelf, place them on a conveyor belt, and pass them for human inspection before being placed on Keenon's robot waiters.

Is it such a bad thing that robots are replacing humans? We don't have to frown over a stray hair or unwanted pieces of corn in our salad bowls.

in China's big cities, millennials are not willing to wait tables, anyhow. They'd rather open stores on Ali- baba's e-commerce site Taobao or strive to become social influencers via livestreaming. China's US$671 billion (S$912 billion) catering industry has no choice but to be smart, antisocial and robotic.
