Mario Parlato, owner of the restaurant La Terrazza delle Sirene at Sorrento, said he was “tired” of young people asking for the weekend off.
He also said he was “happy I made this decision to use AI-fitted devices”.
Parlato said the robots would not, however, ever fully replace human waiting personnel.
“They can accompany clients to their tables and bring the dishes and drinks,” Parlato explained.
“But the politeness and ‘simpatia’ of those who do this job are irreplaceable.”
