Creazione lezione...
1
These lunchtime diners in San Francisco are intrigued by a fully automated restaurant
2
that looks more like a computer store with touch screen ordering and freshly made meals delivered in a box.
3
Technology is allowing us to provide a product at an unprecedented speed.
4
So the time-pressed consumer in the financial district really doesn't have the patience for the old ways of going out
5
and buying food, interacting with somebody who might not hear your order correctly.
6
We've addressed that by creating a process that is incredibly fast,
7
incredibly precise, and ultimately gives the customer much more control about what they want for lunch.
8
I had to try it for myself.
9
Much like any other touch screen menu, it starts with the swipe of your credit card.
10
You can customise the menu.
11
The food here is all vegetarian.
12
Once your order is placed, it's prepared at lightning speed by chefs working behind the scenes. So here it is.
13
That was less than two minutes.
14
The food has been delivered.
15
It says here, clap twice.
16
The door opens.
17
And here's lunch with my name on it, my balsamic beet salad.
18
Looks good.
19
Usually we only have half an hour, 45 minutes for lunch, so it's nice to be able to come out during actual lunch hour
20
and get a quick healthy lunch.
21
This is the first time I've seen anything this automated and this high quality coming out of a machine.
22
I've seen, you know, they have similar things in Amsterdam, but the quality of the food isn't half as good.
23
I think that we're moving away from social interaction
24
and this is just completely facilitating that we didn't have to talk to anyone to get food made for us, which I don't necessarily think is the best thing,
25
but it's certainly, I think, the direction where we're all going.
26
We've just taken the model and figured out how to interact with the customer differently.
27
It's a completely different way of assisting the customer in making the choices that are best for them.
28
Other restaurant chains have embraced touch screen technology to replace humans.
29
It's a trend in the business, fewer stuff and a more automated approach to ordering food.
30
doing is changing the way that the workforce is contributing to the preparation of food.
31
So instead of having a cashier or five cashiers, we've created other opportunities for those workers,
32
both in terms of being involved in the technology that's supporting the restaurant, having opportunities to interact with customers in a different and more personal way.
33
And in the process, not dissimilar to any innovation where technology comes in, changes the ball We believe that other jobs and other types of jobs will be created.
34
It just won't be minimum wage traditional restaurant jobs.
35
A lot of what we do is bring our clients out
36
here to be inspired by sort of either new technologies or new services, new platforms.
37
And so we had heard about ETSA and so we wanted to drop by and kind of experience it ourselves.
38
But in Japan you have similar restaurants to this, don't you?
39
Yeah, there's a lot of vending machine type restaurants.
40
So meaning like you would order your food via vending machine
41
and you get a ticket and and you hand the ticket over and you get your meal automatically, but nothing as sort of designed, I think, as this.
42
And so I think that's why we wanted to experience the sort of, there's so many different magical moments that are just kind of really fun.
43
And so once they introduce the app and you can order it and just go pick up your food, I think that's really going to disrupt the current food business today.

Cos'è la tecnica dello Shadowing?
Shadowing è una tecnica di apprendimento delle lingue supportata da studi scientifici, originariamente sviluppata per la formazione dei traduttori professionisti e resa popolare dal poliglotta Dr. Alexander Arguelles. Il metodo è semplice ma potente: ascolti un audio in inglese di madrelingua e lo ripeti immediatamente ad alta voce — come un'ombra che segue il parlante con un ritardo di solo 1–2 secondi. A differenza dell'ascolto passivo o degli esercizi di grammatica, lo shadowing costringe il tuo cervello e i muscoli della bocca a elaborare e riprodurre simultaneamente i modelli di discorso reale. La ricerca dimostra che migliora significativamente la precisione della pronuncia, l'intonazione, il ritmo, il discorso connesso, la comprensione dell'ascolto e la fluidità del parlato — rendendolo uno dei metodi più efficaci per la preparazione alla prova di speaking dell'IELTS e per la comunicazione reale in inglese.
