Sure. Point is that this lets you go from 10 workers in a restaurant to 9.5 or other small increments. It’s not like the innovation of the tractor and fertilizer and other innovations, which have reduced farmers from 50% of the population (1900) to 2% (today).
To get this with restaurants the only way is intelligent robotics, at least the only way I can see. Other than just “everyone stops eating restaurant food and starts eating homogenous soylent packets.” We could automate that fully with today’s tech. Where today a restaurant with 10 workers gets replaced with 0.4 workers, who work offsite, and respond to elevated customer servers calls and elevated maintenance issues. (‘elevated’ means the autonomy tried and failed to solve the issue already. While automated maintenance isn’t too common, Amazon is experimenting with automated customer service, where in my experience a bot will basically just give a refund if you have any complaint at all about an order)
