Japanese family restaurant introduces solo dining capsules for those who dine alone & want privacy

Have you ever requested a booth, only to have the waitress scoff at you for daring to ask that question with only yourself in tow?

Family restaurant, Gusto, in Japan might have experienced that specific customer one too many times.

Here's their single-seater capsule for the lone diner.

And here are all the nifty little things that are available there to make life quite comfortable, and productive, for the diner.

Basically a charging station and semi-partitions.

Being a family restaurant, the food choices there are quite filling and affordable as well.
