The park's new Rollercoaster Restaurant will send food from the kitchen to your table not on a waiter's tray but on more than 400 meters of spiraling, looping track. That's right — your meal will ride a roller coaster on its way to your table. Take a look:
The menu will feature burgers, steaks, chicken, risotto, and salads. Each dish has been tested on the track to ensure that it will arrive in good condition at each of the 13 available tables, according to the park. In addition to the two loops on the track, meals will reach speeds "faster than Mo Farah when he won Gold at the Olympics," the park said in a press release.
Rollercoaster Restaurant opens May 13 in the old AIR shop location in Forbidden Valley. In addition to being open for lunch during park hours, Rollercoaster Restaurant also will be open for dinner after the park closes, when anyone will be able to dine without a theme park ticket.

It does not cut down on the number of employees as "waiters" are needed to hover around making sure people know how to order and, most importantly, open the "pots of food" after they arrive. Also, a lot of people don't like eating out of a pot so they provide standard plates and then they also needed to clean up all the pot covers and plates as usual. To my eyes, it would not save on labor costs at all.
Activities outside the regular park hours are very welcome at Alton Towers, but if they just stuck a Nandos there they'd clean up.

Food wasn't bad either.
