A restaurant in the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region has been enjoying brisk business after introducing three special robots to serve its diners two weeks ago.

In addition to saying hello and good-bye to the clients, the robots can also help diners order dishes.

The restaurant said business had grown between 20 and 30 per cent in the past two weeks when compared with other outlets.

The three robots have cost it more than HK$100,000 (US$12,870).
