Germany's automated restaurant

[Imperial]

Maybe not as fun as Google Zurich HQ, but Germany's newest restaurant's are interesting to say the least.

Haha, the Germans always trying to be as efficient as possible. Good for them!

Wow, that's really impressive. Any time you need a refill, you can order it, and not have to worry about when your waiter's coming by or trying to flag them down from across the room. Very cool.

A restaurant where i don't have to leave a tip.
There is an idea.

I would drive over, if it wouldn´t be at the other end of the country.

In Korea you never have to tip. It's awesome. I'm gonna be a horrible customer by the time I get back to the states!

I work in a restaurant, poor tippers piss me off :(

Back in the USA, I was always an adequate-to-good tipper. Not tipping was (almost) never an option for me, although there may have been one or two times in my life where the service was downright offensive and unworthy of so much as a dime.

I've always been told that if the service is bad, leave them 50 cents or less, that way you make it perfectly clear that you didn't forget the tip, but rather the service stunk

thats not a bad idea but the problem is that your putting people out of work doing it that way
