A Latin American restaurant in Texas is renting robots for $15 a day each to serve guests as it struggles to find staff, CNN first reported on Wednesday.
Espartaco Borga, owner of La Duni in Dallas, told CNN the robots welcome guests and take food to tables. They can also laugh and sing “Happy Birthday,” he said.
Using the robots was a “no-brainer” to fill the gaps in his workforce, he said. Staff were previously “overwhelmed, overworked, and frustrated,” he said.
The robots haven’t replaced any staff in the restaurant, he told CNN.
Borga told Insider that the restaurant had leased three robots for 48 months: Panchita, the food runner; Alexcita, the beverage runner; and Coqueta, the host assistant
