Uh what you eat with. at a restaurant the servers roll that up in a napkin at the end of the night, for the next day. pretty time consuming. figured by now someone would made something to do it for them to cut down on time there for cut down on labor as well

I'mma look it up this can't be that hard to automate maybe sporkulon can help.

I think people are probably over complicating it, a laser printer bascially has everything to make this happen at least if what I am thinking is correct.

What is rolling silverware?

He works in a restaurant. Rolling silverware is wrapping it in a napkin.

Seems like it wouldn't be that hard to automate, I'mma look it up.

Yeah. I bet it's been done. The problem is not tearing up the paper napkin.

Slow your role bud and get in line. If we are talking about dream automated machines that are practical and actually WORK we want a laundry folding machine first (and no, that big bulky thing that you feed tshirts through one at a time does not count)

All I'm saying is do we really need the iPhone 10x plus super duper douchebag 2.5 the deluxe edition that dose the exact same thing as the ones before. When even the folding machine that would also save time. For the business point.if a practical machine that would save you let's just say 100 bucks in labor a night and cost a 1000 bucks bam paid for in 10days and continues to save you money. And it wouldn't even have to be an automatic one even a manual machine would cut it down

This is one of the consequences of tips. Depending on the state the minimum wage for waiters is less. That machine is competing with $2.15 an hour marginal labor cost.

An iPhone 10x might save a lawyer 10 seconds a week on writing texts if the buttons on the keyboard are bigger. That might be worth more in his most critical week. Then you take into account that designing the 10x doesn't cost much. It's just changing a few specs like screen size on an earlier design. So it's worth more for less effort. Then you multiply that by the number of people who might use a 10x vs a silverware roller. It's a 2000:1 ratio.

Besides, places should be using place settings and cloth napkins anyway.
