"I am here at YO! Sushi to test the new prototype iTray, the latest gimmick to grace a London restaurant."
"It is part waiter, part attack-helicopter, which conspires to be both menacing and inefficient. Atop the remote-controlled flying drone is perched a tray of food.... The drone is being controlled by a waitress, who is using an iPhone and the Japanese restaurant's wi-fi to try to steer the contraption, and my lunch, towards me. On the third attempt, the prawn crackers get caught in the updraught and are immediately sliced in the blades of the chopper, causing carbohydrate shrapnel to go flying in all directions. I take cover behind the soy sauce bottle...."

Larger blades would cut down on the battery consumption.
Oh, great!
Another target to be hacked. I can imagine somebody at Spy Central who doesn't like you making the chopper crash in your lap.
Or maybe just shoot a Hellfire up your old address.
Tora! Tora! Tora!
A classic example of just because something CAN be done doesn't mean it SHOULD be done.
This though is obviously a publicity stunt and nothing more. Unless you can show how it is saving the restaurant money or improving the dining experience (which this article does not make the case for!), it is a gimmick.
Really need to make it completely autonomous. Humans suck and driving quadroters.
Do you have to tip the person operating the controls?
I prefer sushi delivery the old-fashioned way -- by Jetsons-style conveyor belt.
Why not just have a Zero crash land on your table?
I grew up near a diner--Snackville Junction--that delivered your food with a model train. RC models are just an extention of the same idea.
That diner, btw, opened up after WWII. But it was based on a concept his family had been toying with since the Depression--always with a toy train delivery system of sorts.
