Isn’t Life Strange?

Baggers restaurant in Nuremberg is the home of an interesting concept in dining - automation. 

Imagine going to a restaurant that works without any human interaction.  It works like this - You find a table, select your order on a touch-screen display, slide your payment card into the slot, and the freshly-prepared food is delivered by a sort of roller-coaster that connects your table to the kitchen. 

The restaurant is the brainchild of local businessman Michael Mack.

"I wanted to come up with a complete new restaurant system," Michael tells me, "one that would be more efficient and more comfortable".

Replacing waiters with helter-skelters and computers is fun for the customers. It also makes financial sense for the restaurant.

"You can save labour costs," explains restaurant spokesperson Kyra Mueller-Siecheneder.

"You don’t need the waiters to run to the customers, take the orders, run to the kitchen and back to the guests."
