What is the owner's stated aim?
A restaurant in Seoul has replaced half of its kitchen staff with robotic arms that can flip burgers, fry noodles and wash dishes. The owner, Min-jun Park, says the machines are not intended to cut jobs but to make the work less exhausting. Human cooks now supervise the robots and concentrate on creating new dishes. Customers are divided: some enjoy watching the robots, while others complain that the food lacks a personal touch. Park admits that the technology is expensive and takes up space, but argues that labour shortages in the industry leave him little choice.
