‘Robot waitress’ draws customers to Pakistani pizza
A robot waitress serves food to customers at a pizza restaurant in Multan
Multan - Arab Today
The owners of a pizza shop in Pakistan say business is booming now that they have introduced a robot waitress.
Osama Jafri, the engineer who designed the 25-kilogram (55-pound) robot, said it can greet customers and carry pizzas to their tables. The robot resembles a short, slender woman wearing a long dress and apron. He said he wrapped a scarf around the robot’s neck so as not to offend conservative patrons.
He said sales at Pizza.com, in the town of Multan, have doubled since the robot was unveiled in February. Jafri’s father Aziz, who owns the restaurant, said he has three more robot waitresses and plans to open a new branch.
He said: “I used to sell pizzas, but now restaurant owners want to buy robots from me.”
