A few months ago a new restaurant by the name of Dadawan opened in the Mall of the Netherlands. They bill themselves as “Asian fast food” although there are fusion options. But more importantly, they have robots…!
Okay, okay. The robots generally just bring you your drinks, not the food. But still, it’s a first for me. It was good food as well, although I oddly had a craving for – and went for – a hamburger at the Asian fast food fusion place. It was good, and not so large that it was messy. It wasn’t the best hamburger I’ve ever had, but it hit the spot. If that makes sense.
After you grab all your drinks, he prompts you to send him back to the starting point. Although he’ll go back automatically after a few minute or two if you don’t press anything.
And of course the joke on the screen was “Rice to meet you Leidschendam!” (Leidschendam being the name of the town the mall is in).
And yes, I just called a robot a “he”. Chat-GPT is also “he” for me.
