You and logansryche should team up and buy a lemonade stand.

The first "robots" used in this fashion will be People equipped with a headset and being told instructions from a software appliance which automatically manages the business resources. Expect this within the next decade or so to become widely spread from McD to Gas Stations and Walmart.
Never heard of a restaurant without humans serving etc. Good luck though.
What about fancy sushi places where cooks prepare the sushi, but the food comes by on a conveyor belt?
Can you build a catapult for delivery?
Not at ll! Somewhere in Europe there is now a vending machine that makes entire pizzas from scratch. Why not a building that does a whole menu?
Because the overhead costs would be enormously higher than a traditional restaurant to produce far inferior food? Because you have no demonstrated ability to design the kind of complex machinery needed to prepare anything more complicated than Spaghetti-Os? Because your budget to design and build a robot restaurant is based on nothing and almost certainly drastically underfunded? Because your proposed location has already proven unable to sustain an upscale restaurant? Because your entire business model is high risk / low reward? Pick one of those.

it took me two whole seconds to Google this.

If you really are serious about this whole idea, may I suggest you try and limit your initial exposure and reduce your startup costs?
I would say you should start with developing automated hot meal vending machines. This cuts out the lease/purchase of the restaurant itself, which represents half of your startup costs.
Hot meal serving machines could easily be placed yourself in schools, etc where they would be readily accepted. Perhaps mobile machines could be developed and ready for quick temporary deployment to events such as protests (OWS) where I'm sure they would be much appriciated.
Once you have your core meal preparation equipment developed well, then look into moving from vending machines to a full restaurant.
Further, I suspect the adoption of the bitcoin payment option would be better received via vending machines as well. strictly my opinion there

FYI, I am putting $50 of my own money into this to start, and already got another $20 donated (THANK YOU!). I'll keep adding my own money into this as I earn it.

Don't forget microwaving and adding a frozen bag of meatballs. A simple spaghetti and meatballs dish can go for $10 in some places.
You're just yanking our chains with this, right?Not at ll! Somewhere in Europe there is now a vending machine that makes entire pizzas from scratch. Why not a building that does a whole menu? From what I understand, the floors above this restaurant aren't even used, so there's plenty of space, and having it in that location means it'll be cheat to buy and set up. It's even near a railroad ship yard, so getting ingredients and robot/machine parts will be cheaper than trucking!
Why trying to reinvent the wheel ? Has anybody done an automated restaurant yet ? Sounds like something out of 2050 etc.
First get the actual normal human operated restaurant using bitcoins.
Then and then only think about automation. You are going way over your head IMHO. Never heard of a restaurant without humans serving etc. Good luck though.
Any ETA on how long till it becomes 5% investment ? I already know many restaurants simply reheat the pre-cooked food in a microwave then serve it out immediately but that is totally different than your no-waiters system. No cookers too ? Will robots cook the food as well ?

You're just yanking our chains with this, right?Actually, many many restaurants serve frozen, microwavable food. Even 'upscale'.

You're just yanking our chains with this, right? I cook gourmet international cuisine as a hobby, and have dinner parties at my house. I have done Russian, Italian, Japanese, Indian, and Greek so far. Wanting to experiment with French. This restaurant was French. I probably will change the menu to something else though from what I understand, French cooking mainly involves a lot of sauces and frying. Mixing sauces automatically is pretty easy, as is frying. If I add pasta options, that's pretty easy as well.

Genuine question: Isn't starting a Bitcoin business in an 'economically depressed' area full of 'retirees (old people)' kinda counter-intuitive?
Those retirees get a lot of Social Security, so their money will keep coming in, and I don't hae to worry about unemployment and lack of discretionary income
I'm suggesting that older folk aren't really down with BTC.
Yeah, it's ludicrous to accept Bitcoins from elderly people.
No, I'm saying that the odds of getting a lot of elderly folk in a economically depressed part of town to switch to a digital currency during a depression... are slim.
"Living off of social security? Switch to this volatile digital currency!"

I worked at McDonald's, so I know what it takes to run a restaurant.
lulz
good luck with your venture
