Imagine the glass doors slide open as it detects you. As you take a step forward into the venue, the floor tiles light up to highlight the path to the nearest available seat. The chair gently wheels out, and then moves back in again upon detecting your weight. After a Welcome message is softly broadcast, the menu, in the form of a hologram, radiates in front of you. Through lighted controls on the table, you turn pages of the menu.
A microphone that's positioned facing towards your mouth absorbs your order. While you wait, you whip out your Laptop and check your email via the free wireless internet provided.
Your meal comes and you cleanse your hand with the alcohol-free handwash mist spray located at the side of the table. As you eat, an automated service asks you if you wish to have music of any genre softly played.
You agree and music that complements your meal is softly played, with surround sound. Yet, amazingly, the volume of the music is scientifically adjusted, taking into account your profession, age and health history, such that only you can hear the music and surrounding tables are not affected.
As you tuck in to your meal, a thin plastic screen slides out and shields your shirt from any stain that may arise as a result of the tucking in.
AS you complete your email, a mousepad pops out at the side of the table, where you place your membership card - the card where your browsing and order history are stored, and where the cost of the meal is deducted from the value stored within. the history aids future visits to the food establishment.
The chair slowly reverses, and a toothpick box pops out of the left handrest while a cheerful voice bids you a have a nice day!
Where?
Food Establishments of The Future!
Imagine.
