When you know who can come, find out what they like to eat and drink. Note down any who are vegetarians, or who can’t eat or drink certain things for religious reasons. 
Then plan their menu. Include a first course, a choice of main courses and a dessert, plus lots of people’s favorite drinks. 
The next thing to do is the shopping. Make sure you buy more than enough of everything, and that someone can help you carry it! 
On the day, start cooking early. Give people appetizers like Greek mezze or Spanish tapas, so they don’t get hungry if they have to wait. Serve the delicious meal, sit down with your guests and have a good time - you’ve earned it!

Meanwhile, in another part of the hospital, a robot nurse, the RP7, will be taking a patient's pulse and temperature then emailing their medical history to a specialist in another country. In the corridor, a fleet of robots will be hard at work day and night collecting dirty sheets, delivering clean ones and distributing food. These robots won't replace humans, but they will allow the human staff to make progress in saving people's lives. 
A robot waiter shows you to your table, takes your order and heads for the kitchen where the chef, another robot, cooks your steak. After a delicious main course, another robot provides entertainment until the dessert comes.
