Companies that hired robots to help serve customers are discovering they’re not perfect: “She doesn’t open doors.”

the casual-dining chain owned by Brinker International Inc., in August halted the rollout of Rita, which seated guests, served food, bused tables and sang “Happy Birthday.” The decision came just four months after Chili’s had expanded Rita from 10 trial locations to 51 more restaurants.

Juan Higueros, co-founder and chief operating officer of Rita maker Bear Robotics Inc., said the company was surprised Chili’s put the technology on pause as research indicated it was largely well-received by staff, adding that one Chili’s employee this week posted a TikTok video of workersI have not seen good examples of companies successfully deploying robotic systems in low-margin, public-facing settings.

“I have not seen good examples of companies successfully deploying robotic systems in low-margin, public-facing settings,” Prof. Beane said.Chief Executive Chris Kempczinksi in July told investors and analysts he thought robots weren’t a practical solution to labor demand in the vast majority of restaurants.

Rachel’s Kitchen staff primarily use Servi to share the load when bringing food and drink to a big table or multiple tables, Ms. Roxarzade said. Servers are glad to not have to walk back and forth to the kitchen as much, and get to spend more time on the guests, she added. The perils of the outdoors are a big problem for delivery robots, in particular. The internet is flooded with videos of coolers-on-wheels driving themselves into potholes, getting stuck in snow, crashing, being stolen and, in one case, getting obliterated by a freight train.

Jeremy Shirk of Conan's Pizza in Austin found things to like about Cocos, even though they were slower than his delivery drivers.“My biggest pie, that we call ‘the Savage,’ weighs about 6 pounds,” Mr. Shirk said. “It doesn’t really do well bouncing around for 20 minutes.”

Dozens of Colorado companies making it easier for employees to voteMore than 80 Colorado companies are encouraging their employees to vote by taking part in Time To Vote — a nonpartisan movement aimed at boosting voter participation in the U.S. The 2020 gene… It's nice these companies do this, but since Colorado is an all-mail-ballot state (with TONS of secure drop-boxes all over the place, plus 'manned' drop-off locations), there's really no reason for people to wait until Election Day to vote -- although that option also exists. they aren't 'granting' sht. CO law requires employers provide 2 hours paid time off to vote. Clearly the lackeys at the DenverCompost want comp ski tickets

Reader: It's Ridiculous that Colorado Companies Still Test for MarijuanaHave you had to take a drug test for a job lately? Not at all, if an employee gets hurt or causes an accident on the job and the employee was high then the company is liable in all suites brought against it. Companies test to reduce the risk of liability often at the request of their insurance companies.
