The ‘virtual’ restaurants you’ll never visit

Now the restaurant has over 100 employees, and most of the staff are hired to chef our endless weekend orders. This means the costs saved from paying waiters, bar staff, and maintaining a highly populated and appealing location can be put back into improving the technology, food quality, and prep efficiency.

For some, the thought of food orders being pumped out without conventional means of quality control, i.e. head chefs or restaurant managers, is a worrying one. But the next step in efficiency for this new age of digitisation and instant gratification undoubtedly resides in dedicated takeaway restaurants.

This much is evident from the momentous shift from conventional job markets to the gig economy in the last year – with one in 10 adults having made the transition in Britain.

Gen Z will undoubtedly be thrilled at the prospect of more convenient takeaway services. For them, convenience is the driver (excuse the pun) of efficiency, and technology is the vehicle to get them there.
