Fast food restaurants in Cali always use the excuse of employee wages to justify how expensive the food's gotten. This restaurant is staffed with literal robots and costs about the same as Five Guys.
Fast restaurants usually don’t make those excuses but rather small businesses, fast food restaurants are a lot more stable in pricing with most fluctuations coming from taxes which varies a lot more
There is a little thing called supply and demand. If people keep buying overpriced burgers, of course they will not reduce prices, they are not stupid.
the mcthankies slogan has been in use since the late 1980s. I truly doubt a slogan, such as yours, would fly be even the lowest mcspankies representative
@@InvasionAnimation You might not be kissing boots but the whole “big companies will do what big companies do” is dumb because attitudes like that is why they get away with it. Hold them to a standard instead of mocking people for pointing it out
@@TCGexclusive How exactly did you think I was on the side of the company from what I said? People should get to keep their jobs, although I personally would prefer that the food service industry automated for personal reasons. Still not okay with it being automated for ethical reasons.
Even if robots somehow made things cheaper, does anyone really think companies will pass those savings on to customers? Companies try to find ways to make things cheaper to increase profits, not lower prices.
@@tupakkaonhyvaa The problem is if EVERYTHING is more expensive people have no choice but to pay the prices. "Speak with your wallet" only works if there's another option.
@@tupakkaonhyvaa People buy fast food for convenience. If fast food keeps increasing in price people might buy LESS of it, but the reason it exists is still there and people will still buy it. Now of course there's a price point that almost no one would be able to justify, but we're obviously not there and these companies won't charge more than people are willing to pay. Also, rising food prices are affecting grocery stores as well. Making your own food has always been cheaper and probably always will, but I imagine the price ratio between making your own food and buying it from a fast food place is probably pretty close to what it's always been because EVERYTHING is more expensive across the board.
@@vinyfiny Yeah, well I stopped going to mcdonalds for good at least. Few years ago a cheeseburger was 1€ exactly and a big mac meal like 5-6€. Now a cheese burger is 2,60€ and a big mac meal is 12,50€. Nothing in this world can be a good excuse for this kind of price gouging. People should just going to these places to put an end to this nonsense.
As a part owner in flippy and miso allow me to explain. The concept is to make a high quality burger that tastes the same every time. No pinkish middle, no runny mayo, not too many tomatoes but a solid consistent burger. We save your profile all you have to do is show up hungry. Thanks for the review ❤❤👏.
Are they putting it through an Xray? We do that in the protien industry and i think considering relatively unsupervised robot usage, it should be here as well.
I don’t see prices ever going down. Once businessmen see how much money is generating(not including profit) and people keep paying- the prices will stay the same.
Haven't even pressed the play button and I know somehow they'll charge more even though it doesn't even require someone to actually make it (got to offset the R&D/the machine)
People will literally always choose the human prepared version because they want that “lottery ticket” moment when they receive literally $0.06 extra of ingredients due to human error.
This is more about ingredients and prep than the robots. Those fries are top notch frozens. The cheese looks like cheddar cheese, not american. The meat looks real, not overly processed. And the bun looks quality along with the veg. So the cost is about right, even if it were all human.
you all complaining about a 15 dollars burger while in my country (brazil) the minimum wage is about $1100 and a mcdonalds burger costs around $50 - $100, you americans dont realize how lucky you are, living inside your own bubble.
Sorry to tell you, but almost all fast food spots are robotic in some way, and have similar mechanics to assist with the grilling and placing fries in their baskets..Employees simply remove items and place them in warming trays… and build burgers..
Restaurants in the near coming future better have prices low as hell if they planning on using full on robots. If we don’t see prices go down astronomically after robots are implemented then we gonna have ourselves a problem. Also let me add that I do understand that those robots will cost a good amount of money to be bought and installed and they need up keep and software updates blah blah blah ALL THAT STILL IS NOWHERE NEAR to having a dozen staff members that each take away 2 or more grand a month or even more I don’t know I’m just counting is as low as possible so that we can see how much money they are spending on human beings compared to robots. The robots will cost them as much as it costs to pay the staff for a month or two or even half a year but after that it’s smooth sailing for them.
I support robots more than lazy service workers. It's rare I get halfway decent service at a fast food place. Depending on the area and demographics some places will not even interact with, or greet you, they just hand you the food and when you point out you they didn't give you any sauce or etc they mope and go give you like 1 or 2 packets. For example a decent sized taco bell order you need some sauce packets, not 2 or 3. Robots ftw
I worked in fast food and I’d much rather a robot do it. Most of my coworkers were such lazy losers. Saying not to use AI or robots is like saying not to use a computer because it hurts libraries or not to use a car because the people who take care of horses would be hurt.
15 dollar for a burger and fries done by robots seems unjustified. They should make a ranch company instead since the ranch is the only thing that bumps it up a notch.
Peeps complain that the price has come down bit think about the cost of the robots and to install them.. thinking it not cheap.. the prices may come down
$10? The point of robotic chef was to bring the price down and create a stable sustainable business. This will NOT go well with patrons…and I’m sure the greedy robot will ask for tips also. Hell no….
y’all acting like it doesn’t cost anything for these robots, these robots are obviously really expensive as well, and even though you don’t have to pay them wages like you would a real employee, the initial investment for these machines is easily thousands of dollars
