Local North Carolina Restaurant Using Robot Waiters
I never thought I’d see the day of a robot waiter. But its time has come. A local restaurant has started using robots in their facility.
According to WCNC, shortages are facing almost every industry, especially the food industry. At Yiding Hot Pot, they’ve come up with a different kind of solution to hiring: replacing waiters with robots.
They have a robot named Wall-e and Eve that help the servers. The owners say this allows the workers to relax a little because many are overworked. Owner Alice Wang said there’s a long way to go before robots replace humans. Wang said the robots cost about $10,000 but it’s worth every penny because they don’t collect a salary.
These North Carolina Restaurants Made Yelp's Best Spots For Mother's Day Brunch
Mother’s Day is fast approaching (friendly reminder to start that shopping if you haven’t yet!). It’s also the perfect day to treat mom to brunch. As a millennial brunch is one of my favorite meals in existence, and I will always be down to go. But if you’re treating mom to brunch then you want to make sure you are taking her to the absolute best- she deserves nothing but perfection. So where is that spot? Well according to the latest rankings from YELP North Carolina is home to 2 of the country’s top places for brunch. And four are in South Carolina! 6 out of 100 isn’t bad at all. The bad news, only one spot is local to the Charlotte area. The others require a little more time and perhaps a hotel stay. But I’m sure Mom would love a trip too!
So where did these rankings come from? Here’s exactly what YELP had to say: “This is an all-time list of the best brunch spots for Mother’s Day according to Yelp. We identified businesses in the Breakfast & Brunch category with a large concentration of reviews mentioning “brunch,” then ranked those spots using a number of factors including the total volume and ratings of reviews mentioning “brunch.” If a chain appeared on the list more than once, we only included the highest-rated location. We included only 10 businesses per state for geographic diversity. All businesses were marked open on Yelp as of April 6, 2023. When available, all businesses on this list have a passing health score as of April 6, 2023.”
