Nobody wants a job, and only the robot and the sushi chef are working

“As with all things automated, the robot handles grunt work like a champ. The downside was that it required the owner / bartender to take on additional ‘mindwork’ duties. He was the robot maintenance guy. He said it wasn’t much; three hours a week or so. I mentally compared three hours charging batteries and cleaning wheels versus the hassle of hiring waitstaff that might flake out, screw up, or not exist at any price. Sounded like a good balance but it requires a secret ingredient. It depends on an owner / bartender clever enough to manage robot software AND do all of the other jobs.
