Dish Wash, Er. (No chance) 1 year ago
Maintaining a robot able to wash dishes will cost more money than it would to hire a dishwasher. Also, most restaurants don't actually care about having clean dishes. A robot would be unable to decide what dishes to wash and what not to wash. A robot would wash everything and be very expensive.
