Q: How will the dining experience be different?
Cantu: I think it's going to be a lot more interactive. . . . Maybe you'll make a phone call, and an alien ship will deliver the food to the table.
Achatz: Like now, many types of restaurants will exist. The fast food will become faster. Ordering your meal choices via handheld device before you arrive will allow you to go through one of several lines for fast-food pickup. Payment will be made at the time of order so there will be no need to fumble with cash or credit cards. Many high-end restaurants will actually go almost unchanged. People 25 years from now will want the same level of human connection via service that we have now. That will be lost in everyday life in the future, so it will become a luxury.
