First robot waitresses are serving up smiles for customers at an upscale pizza restaurant in Multan.
The robot named Rabia, Annie, and Jennie greet customers and bring them their pies at Pizza.com, where the owner Osama Jafari, who built the prototypes himself says the response has been a surge of new business.
Jafari is already working on the next generation, which he says will be more interactive, able to respond to customer's questions, and hopes to spread his robot staff to his other restaurants.
