Without capitalism delivery workers wouldn't be exploited and people receiving things would appreciate real human interaction. Under capitalism these are transactions where the receiver often looks at the worker like a servant and the company treats them like a slave. The robots further increase atomization and outside of specific circumstances like disability, delivery shouldn't be necessary or even allowed.

Furthermore, I don't think restaurants would exist as they do now post-capitalism. Commissaries and community kitchens are way more communist.

We don't need to continue doing automatable menial labor to decrease atomization. Not needing to do that labor frees people's time to actually interact with each other in leisurely environments rather than exchange pleasantries on a doorstep for less than a minute (which doesn't even necessarily happen now with contactless delivery). If there are people who really want to do delivery work and people who really want to have things delivered by a person, they can do their thing. But for most people a robot would be just fine.

Furthermore, I don't think restaurants would exist as they do now post-capitalism. Commissaries and community kitchens are way more communist.

What distinction are you making between a community kitchen and a restaurant other than the way the labor is organized? Because as far as the people eating the food are concerned, there wouldn't much difference besides payment.

For me, a community kitchen would be just a big industrial kitchen with all the basic ingredients and kitchen equipment. Anyone can come in and cook whatever they want and share with others. Leftovers go in the walk-in and are available to anyone.

I love to cook but I despised being a line cook and making things to order. Being able to cook a big batch of whatever I want and share with others, anyone free to help with prep, trading recipes, etc without the pressure of constant tickets rolling in would be a dream for me.

nobody wants to cook in a community kitchen that sounds like it would suck.

You just sound like you don't enjoy cooking. It would essentially be a maker space for cooking.
