One restaurant no longer needs to find “warm bodies” to fill waitstaff positions. Rosie, the newest server at The Smoke Shop BBQ in Boston’s Kendall Square neighborhood, is a robot. “The Smoke Shop has been using Rosie for the past few weeks to run food from the kitchen to the bar area, and to bring take-out orders from the packing operation in back to delivery drivers up front,” per The Boston Globe. “Adding some automation to the restaurant’s lineup means a team member doesn’t have to run back and forth from the kitchen.”
