AI-Powered Cafe Goes Viral — But Still Can't Run Without Humans

We're talking about Andon Cafe — it's being widely discussed online as the 'first establishment without people'. Behind the scenes is an AI based on Claude, making decisions, managing orders, and even acting as 'director'. But there's a catch: without real employees, it all quickly turns into chaos.

The AI regularly makes mistakes — for example, it might order several thousand gloves or fill the warehouse with stocks of toilet paper.

In the end, people still remain a key part of the process: they prepare drinks, hand out orders, and fix the algorithm's mess-ups.
