What if... In the movie "Sleep Dealer", some tasks in "first world" countries were conducted by residents of second/third-world countries, remotely. What if we could engineer process that would make those jobs available to robots/remote humans?

Something I can't explain myself is why more restaurants didn't jump on a more digital process?
I have seen a few (chain) restaurants where most of the process is supported by an app/website/tablet where you can book your table, see the menu, order stuff and pay for it.
This makes it much easier for the staff and optimizes a lot of the flow. It doesn't remove the ability to ask a human to help you and it makes reordering much easier. Add some AI to the mix and recommandations/promotions could be very opportunistic.

What I see around here is the rent the restaurants have to pay make it really hard to be profitable.

It's very easy for a remote worker to have several part-time jobs.

Your overestimate government workers by a lot. Regulations are not necessarily very clever.
