Robot chefs are replacing humans at some South Korean highway restaurants.

Tech companies say robots can help solve labor shortage in an aging nation.

Workers say their roles have been downgraded from chefs to cleaning staff.

I lived in Korea for a couple of years and ate at some of these places while traveling.

It was honestly always good. Basically you do a quick order, get a ticket, then get your food. I always got the fried pork cutlet. That shit was the bomb.

Now that I am back in the states I miss the level of care and dedication that Koreans put into the food they make and I’d go back again just for the eats.

They are useful when someone works late shifts and wants something proper at like 12pm when every kitchen worker has long gone home. They usually offer a more limited menu but it‘s honestly a neat idea.
