One of the intriguing ideas Mottola highlighted was the robots' ability to engage customers with trivial questions. The robots would approach tables and challenge customers with questions like, "Hey, I'll bet you a beer that I know more about seventies music than you do." This interactive element adds a unique and entertaining aspect to the dining experience.

Besides, the robots also serve as interactive guides and sources of entertainment for customers. Mottola explained that customers can approach robots and request guidance to other renowned eateries in the area. Moreover, customers can even ask robots to showcase their dance moves, further enhancing the entertainment factor during their dining experience.

The introduction of robot servers has garnered positive feedback from customers. Sarah Thompson, a satisfied patron, shared her experience, stating, "Robot servers have truly transformed our dining experience at Mottola Grocery. The robots effortlessly collect used tableware, allowing us to focus on enjoying our meal. It's impressive to witness technology working seamlessly in a restaurant setting."
