You'll feel like you were transported to the future at this restaurant near Ottawa with a robot cat that serves food.

La Buena Déjeuner told Narcity they recently got the robot because of staff shortages.

"It takes 16 employees to run a restaurant of my size and we have been 8 since June," owner Elie Maalouf explained. "So I decide to look in this as an alternative."

Maalouf has found the robot to be a big help as it can hold up to 12 plates, so the employees don't need to carry the heavy dishes themselves.

Plus, the robotic feline has a variety of adorable facial expressions, meows and will even sing happy birthday.

If you want to see the cat for yourself, you can head to the breakfast spot to try some of their most popular items like waffles, crepes, pancakes, omelettes and benedicts.
