Futuristic Restaurant Eatsa Perfects the Art of Human-Free Food Service

These days, a restaurant’s value is closely related to the amount of human interaction its service requires.

That’s why high-tech eatery Eatsa has implemented a system that allows customers to order and receive their food without ever laying eyes on a fellow human being. Customers at the San Francisco-based eatery, which boasts quinoa bowls and fresh, healthy options, order a custom meal via an iPad and receive it through a cubbie. Translation: aliens could be whipping up your weekday lunch.

The below TechCrunch video shows its host navigating the process. David Friedberg, co-founder of Eatsa, explains that the “accessability by convenience and speed” concept is made possible by technology.

Eatsa isn’t the first to perfect the human-free experience, though. Delivery service Seamless allows customers to order online and have food delivered to thier doorstep. Last weekend, the world momentarily stopped, however, when the service experienced a glitch that caused customer orders to be lost. The Twitterverse was abuzz with angry, confused tweets that decried the injustice of having to actually call restaurants and speak to other human beings. One outraged customer said, “I just had to order food over the phone like a caveman. Damn you @seamless! #seamless.”

Luckily, the delivery service repaired the damage shortly thereafter. Watch the Seamless “No Human” video to see how the cycle of human-free food service continues.
