#12  BP, having done a lot of work with computers myself, I am extremely envious of the guys who got to program those robot bartenders.

#9  'Humans will always play a very critical role in the hospitality side of the business… We just don't know what the new roles will be yet in the industry.'

Critical, but not sure what that is. Doing the jobs robots don't want to do: cleaning the restrooms, dealing with customers not up to date on technology. Even out here in Podunk some fast foods you can order and pay with your PED. Only thing a person does is hand over the food, and usually don't get that right - missing food, wonder what disease they have, if they spit in the food.

This looks like a handy retro-fit of existing FF work space. Perhaps in the future purpose built FF joint burgers go across a salamander, or through a traeger like cook zone.

As far as robots making food, been going on for a long time. Those chicken nuggets which are pre-cooked, all I am doing is warming them back up.

They'll make great places for stainless steel rats to hide in.

Mouse infestation spreading viruses and worms.

#2  Yea, but can they vote D?

#1  Including maintenance, I wonder if they cost $15/hour to run. Or if they take overtime. Or spit in the burgers. Or show up to work late. Or quit with no notice.
