Hundreds of people have queued in front of a trendy restaurant in the US city of San Francisco, which happens to be the area’s first automated eatery.

The venue doesn’t even have a worker in sight. It provides a dining experience like no other, replacing waiters and cashiers with iPads and automatic self service cubicles. The new age restaurant operates with tablets, where a customer can swipe their credit card and mix and match the ingredients of meals. After a few minutes, the name of the client is displayed on a transparent LED window that opens after tapping on it twice, so the customer can remove the food. Dishes are prepared in the kitchen at the back of the restaurant.
