Meet Pizza Hut's latest employee - a robot which will take your order and process payment

SINGAPORE - The concept of fast food will be taken to a new level at Pizza Hut with the introduction of a robot which will take your order and process payment - all in the name of quicker service. From Wednesday (March 14) to Sunday, diners at Pizza Hut's Safra Punggol outlet will be the first in South-east Asia to be able to try out the new technology. After the five-day trial, Pizza Hut will take customers' feedback before deciding if the robot, which has a female voice and greets patrons with a "hello", stays at the outlet. To place an order, customers first have to greet the robot and pair their Mastercard Masterpass account embedded in the Pizza Hut Singapore mobile app. They can then verbally tell the robot their orders and show a QR code that will provide their table information.
