How Innovative : Flying trays in restaurants

I've never heard anything so stupid.

A remote-controlled flying tray that can deliver food at speeds of up to 25mph could be rolled out at restaurants nationwide.

A Japanese restaurant has brought a new meaning to the term 'fast food', hurtling meals towards customers on what it claims is the world's first flying tray.

Dubbed the iTray, the lightweight, carbon fibre gadget can travel at speeds of up to 11 metres per second (25mph) and has a range of 50 metres.

Waiters and waitresses at YO! Sushi guide the platter through the air using an iPad app, while kitchen staff can check the food is delivered by watching real-time video feeds from two on-board cameras.

Can anyone else see a hilarious recipe for disaster with this. My ribs still hurt from laughing.

Mmm it may be ok for Sushi but imagine soup/ gravy/custard hurtling towards you at speed and it could bring a whole new meaning to 'having egg on your faces'

Well and good if it works out for them but God help the customers if Michael O'Leary gets control of the flying trays.

Only needs someone to stand up inadvertently and they'll end up with sushi either all down the front or back of them. Can just imagine the court claims for cleaning bills, or injury claims from people being hit by flying trays.

Oh my goodness, the mind boggles.
So if someone is guiding the tray through the air, and the chef is watching to make sure it gets to the table.
Why not just deliver it. Or is that too simple.

Re: How Innovative : Flying trays in restaurants

If the waiter is guiding it does he/she need a pilots license? and if the chef is watching it , who's doing the cooking?.
