This restaurant is actually not too far away from where I live (less than 100km away). I am going to go and test it soon.

I often joke about the lack of humour in Germans but to be honest, it’s getting better. Mostly it’s a stereotype now. The German “humour” these days is an acquired taste. I’ve been trying for years to teach the British humour to Germans and failing badly.

Science fiction!

Though actually, it isn’t. There are many automated food delivery systems in the SF corpus, but they’re either compact units that make the food and deliver it in one unit (Star Trek style) or restaurants with mobile robot waiters (as in Niven’s Wunderland). A rail delivery system I don’t recall ever reading about.

There is a restaurant here in Kansas City that has been doing something similar for YEARS now. Only real differences are that orders are done via phone and delivery is brought out by overhead trains.
