A Tokyo sushi restaurant is reportedly totally automated where special dishes are ordered via tablets and food is delivered on high-speed conveyor belts.

The restaurant appears to be 'waiter-less' with its kitchen computers constantly monitoring how many customers are in the place.

According to Mashable, the touch-screens through which orders are placed also trigger a prize winning game as soon as a customer eats a fifth dish.

Once done eating, one can simply dispose of the dishes via a slot which sends them away for washing, doing that automatically adds the plate total to the bill.
