I am OK with this. I am sure they will be less likely to get your order wrong and you won't have to worry about them spitting in your food if you have a complaint.
I’m honestly surprised these aren’t everywhere already. I literally saw a fast food restaurant closed last month because they couldn’t find people to work there.
@@nathanmyers5324 respectfully, I know that. But once the wheel is invented you don't have to go and re invent it yourself. You buy from manufacturers. Every truck company doesn't design and produce their entire fleet of trucks silly. They buy/lease them.
@@ansc6472 When they break down then you fix it. It's way better than dealing with employees. I'll take machines over employees any day. It's from experience. Not everyone is good at people management. That's me, I'm no good at managing people.
Perfectly fine with this.. more accurate orders for the customer, no rude staff to deal with, etc... Staff cost is usually 20-30% of a restaurants costs... the only problem I see is that this should reduce the cost to the consumer, while improving profit, but I doubt this will lead to customer savings... greedy owners will pocket what the customer should be saving.
Losing jobs is NEVER good. And you think it’s just gonna be better. There will be just as many problems and now there’s no one to complain to. The old saying. Watch what you ask for
As a former restaurant manager, I am on board with this. I'm tired of dealing with rude, lazy, incompetent employees. Robots just do their job, they don't get an attitude. Also, I can't wait til' Door Dash and Uber Eats, starts using drones to deliver food. I'm sick of people who don't speak english bringing me my food.😮
As someone who worked in a restaurant. These robots are live saving. The most shity job in the world. No life and destroy the body. Better push people to develop new skills than being a kitchen slave.
Being in the food service business for 4 decades I say it’s about time. Over the years, I’ve seen a steady decline in peoples work ethic and reliability. I can’t make it boss, 😂 my brother’s cousin sister’s friend needed a jump at the airport and I had to give him a ride blah blah blah Ya, give me a robot I say, better a robot, then no one, because no one showing up is the new norm.
should've included the delivery bots in Milton Keynes. They're far from perfect, but people have accepted them as part of the population to the point where they'll help the bots out when they get stuck on curbs and potholes
I travel all over the US and literally EVERYWHERE I go there are Help Wanted; Now Hiring signs. The BabyBoomers are going into mass retirement, and there aren't enough people to replace them. The labor market MUST shrink correspondingly, except where automation can fill in the gaps. Most restaurants I go to are under staffed, and many are cutting operating hours or menus. On the bright side, better paying jobs will be easier to get because of increased labor demand.
@@Seastallion yes, there r help wanted signs because people have options, or choose not to work for slave wages anymore. As for automation leading to higher paying jobs, I must have some of the stuff your smoking, because if u believe that, I have a certain bridge in New York I'd like to sell u.
@@rlee2345 So you're really worried about Flippy the Robot taking high wage jobs from people? People that barely show up for that job as it is? Or maybe you're concerned that Sippy will be taking all those high wage drink filling positions? Get real; not all automation is a negative. Even the new state-of-the-art Texas Tesla Gigafactory still requires humans despite a heavy automation line. As Elon Musk himself has said, humans are underrated. Robots are very good at repetitious tasks, but that still leaves a lot of spaces for humans. The machine overlords aren't taking over just yet.
@@Seastallion every year technology improves, and with that improvement humans become more obsolete. 10 years ago robots could barely flip a burger, but now they can run an entire kitchen. It's obvious u don't care a lick about the working class. In your delusion all of the millions of people that make up the workforce are suddenly going to make great pay? I'm sure the corporations are investing in all of this tech so they can pay more people higher wages. Yeah, that makes sense for the investors. I look at what corporations have done historically with the working class, and if u want to give the working class even more incentive to revolt, just keep screwing the poor people over, and over. That always works out well.
Factor in stable prices and reliability and the human touch can be eliminated. Look at self checkout at the market, once upon a time full service gas stations were the norm, not for 40 years now.
With all this automation, and jobs going overseas also, where are people supposed to work? The more jobs lost, more unemployment, who's going to buy these robotic items? Nobody will have any money. When does all this greed end, when we have a country full of people living on the streets?
Who is going to program these robots? Who is going to repair them? There is going to be new jobs for them. Like my son who is going to college to work on robots. It just makes new jobs.
@@Ladyfire745 most people in low skill work will be left behind. What used to be dozens of jobs, won't be filled by one repair person. And AI will be able to replace white-collar clerical jobs as well. Customer service representatives, even attorneys and other legal workers.
@@hypat1aa your last point is what most people don’t realize: AI WILL replace white collar jobs as soon as, if not faster than it replaces low skilled manual jobs. Look how quickly AI art has taken off. 5 years ago people assumed art would always be safe from automation.
@Bethanne Ogden until AI replaces the programmers and they learn to self repair ..then what? You aren't seeing the big picture . Humans will become redundant, replaced by AI. How will we live? Government handouts? It all comes at a high cost.
@@marymihos1165 We can transform into Machines? Or we just don't need jobs anymore and do stuff for fun? We could learn because we can and not because we have to? It will be a lot freeer than what you offer: Conservative working conditions.
I can see these being tested out in major metro areas rather speedily. There is quite a worker shortage right now, and it's showing no signs of letting up soon.
The BabyBoomers, the largest generation in history, are currently going into mass retirement. There's literally not enough people to replace them as the following generations are smaller. The available labor markets will have to shrink except where automation can fill in the gaps.
@@Seastallion Agreed. This can also be seen in the aviation industry, as flights are delayed or cancelled because of a lack of laborers. But they also warned about the potential shortage of air traffic controllers- who are mostly Boomers - almost ten years ago. Seems like the workforce impact was grossly underestimated.
According to the Pew Research Center the birth rate in the US has been on a continual decline since 1964. That was a long time ago, so if we’re on a continual decline, it makes sense that we have fewer people to take all of the available job openings. The truth of the matter. And now the bs story,... Why this scarcity of workers? First, consider how the workforce has contracted during the pandemic. At least 200,000 among the more than 750,000 COVID-related deaths in the U.S. belonged to the eligible working population, according to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates. Meanwhile, another part of the population may be experiencing “long COVID” symptoms that keep them from full-time work.
@@Seastallion "The BabyBoomers, the largest generation in history, are currently going into mass retirement. There's literally not enough people to replace them as the following generations are smaller. " Yeah, it's a big problem. People need to have more kids. We need to perpetuate the species. Automation should still be done; humans should not have to do disgusting, nasty, hard labor. But we still need people to have more kids.
I work fast food and when you said the average worker gets $15 a hour I was ready to laugh. I make $12 a hour. I been there almost 2 years. Most start out between $10-$11 a hour. Maybe at big cities they make that amount.
@767corp anything below 15-17 € is not a liveable wage in most of Western Europe, especially if you live in the major cities where you typically find fast food places. Especially in Scandinavia you typically get paid much more because we have such extreme taxes that you end up with less money than working the same job further south
From manual labor to AI robot arm. There muat be a reason why automation on the kitchen came this late. "It doesn't take bathroom breaks and works weekends." - So a regular kitchen worker then.
@@foodverge Most people working there are surprised that I wanted to work there. Considering I worked almost a decade in office jobs prior to this place, light physical labor is dramatically improving my wellbeing. Still the office staff is somewhat understaffed, therefore breaks are not part of the workplace's benefits.
if this going to happen, then with so many employees getting fired & replaced by a machine then how are the people that had a job before getting fired pay for their bills? that means less jobs for us people that want to work or trying to work...what happens then???
you missed how about filling the machines. Look at Wetherspoon coffee machine, they need staff at them all the time through the day. filling them. emptying the used coffee waste etc and unblocking the hot chocolate.
At least the food and handling of the food will be healthier and safer. Won't have any karen's and ken's arguing in the kitchen or rude to customers. Robots will even know how to Count Money with the Z generation seems to have a problem with. No more vengeful waitresses and cooks spitting in the food to get even. Wont have to tip.....no mistakes in accuracy in the cooking process. Most restaurants today I am really disgusted with their filthiness, bad restroom habits with the staff, rude staff and bad service if not tipped to their liking. Probably this is a good thing. Maybe it will give incentive for people to get a real job with real benefits...
Robots won't necessarily be cleaner. More likely they will be far more filthy because they're left to run without supervision, so there's no one around to clean them and their tools.
While I honestly appreciate this kind of development and would certainly have one, it will change the way the food smells and taste (not that the majority of people would notice anyway due their way of diet such as prepreared and ready to go foods and not spending time to cook).Any chef learns that when using love in making foods and using the right tools that a meal will taste a lot better and can taste completely different than a meal cooked without these basics.
They seem to be used mainly in fast food restaurants. Do you think there could still be a taste difference in the food produced by robots in those types of restaurants?
@@foodverge I would think so as there are no energetic vibrations such as love going into the food.I would think however, that there would be a reduction in food poisonings if the robots or their parts are being sterilised and foods not pretouched by humans.
@@abfmkarin i wonder if robots have dif cooking skills to each other lol yano like you might pref how the same dish is made by a dif resturaunt cz that chef is just a better cook or better ingrediants. I doubt it because these robots dont have personalitys there programmed to do it all same way how boring an goodbye to the chef at that perticular resturaunt u pref. A massive loss of jobs & ppls passions in wt they love to do & talents.
The robots still depending of the humans, mainly for fix them and administrate and reprograming his main functions, they are not completly autonomous, at least not for now.
a lot of shortsighted people in comments. this is great news since the system will no longer be relying on labour market, hopefully freeing people from becoming slaves for their whole lives.
@@foodverge nala robotics near me in chicago suburbs cofe+ vending barney bar makr skakr robot barista everest ice and vending Im looking to stzrt businesses that require 1 employee or less and if 1 is ice another is coffee etc 1 person can refill 7 robotic vending businesses and I pay them maybe $40 per hour
The only employee will be one that keeps the machines running and keeping the food products there so the machines can do their job. So how much will the person making sure the robots do their jobs get paid?? And how many hours will the humans need to be there to make sure everything goes right??
we need this in every area of our lives while making it mandatory to look after peoples basic needs, e.g. access to food, shelter, etc. However, this will only increase wealth accumulation in a few pockets using the current market-system.
@@foodverge People have come developed a need for convenience. The salad machine solves the following problems: * Dense nutritious food takes a while to prepare. * We often know we should eat more veggies but don't know what to add to our salad. * People who are either obese have too easy access to calorie dense non nutritious food. * People who are healthy and are working or traveling have to find nutritious foods which can be daunting. Bro I see so many more problems this one machine can solve.
why did that little kid get a massive plate of food . the salad one seem quiet easy to do its just a weight dropper. some one still has to fill it. like most of the machines. but would like to know what company is using the most of these machines mix.
Human beings will be needed to service the machines for technical issues and preventive maintenance. Creative chefs are needed to plan and prepare the menus as well as nutritionists. Robots are outstanding for handling repetitive stress movements and duties that are harmful to people over many years. With Pluto in Aquarius over the next 20 years we will witness the birth and death of technological advancements.
Time for a "Spoleto" vending machine... "Spoleto" is a fast food chain in Brazil whetr you select the pasta you want, the toppings you want and whether you want red marinara sauce or ehite cream sauce, they put the pasta in as basket into hot water, sautee your toppings in a frying psn in front of you, pour in the pasta and sauce, tosd and place on a plate for you. This could be quite easy for a vending machine to do. Note in Brazil, it's common for actual china plated and metal cutlery to be used at fast food restaurants, to be collected by the lobby staff. I would assume biodegradeable plastic products that mimic actual reusable dinnerware wiukd be needed for the North American matket (or just paper plates and biodegradable utensils).
Sally the salad robot was shut down it took months and no one contacted me finally I called them and immediately got a email with pricing which I had 2 weeks to catch the sale of 23k per machine I was excited trying to line things up and at the end of 2 weeks they shut down I'm guessing not enough orders so they lost money I wish they would sell company back or to someone else so.e of the videos people were paying up to $20 per salad because they added alot of ingredients
@@foodverge Absolutely! If automation means more affordable food at a time of inflation and high labor cost and most importantly for me is hygiene. You know how dirty it can be if you ever work in a kitchen!
Thanks Max! FBR are involved in robotic construction am I right? I remember coming across their walls as a service tag line. Ya it’s a cool technology that has a massive addressable market to attack. What’s your thoughts on it?
That’s correct . Through haydrian x machine they can currently lay blocks at 250 per hour ( minimum ) and newest version is like 500 per hour . Each block about 10 standard bricks in size . I’m convinced they have huge potential. Reasons
1) young men don’t want to lay blocks which is back breaking work . 2) this technology opens up opportunities for women/ disabled people . 3) since no one touches the blocks they layed With precision and exactly to plans , massively reduces waste and errors as automated. 4 dematerialised the construction sites as less use for scaffolding etc 5, building house structure( in 1 day now) allows real efficiency and helps plan and deliver much faster ( reduces other costs ( lag times security etc.
Also the big technology they have is called DST ( stabilisation technology for outdoor building which is ground breaking ( more types of robots can be built in this area ( haydrian x blocks just the first ( 1 for laying concrete , roof Tyles, cranes , overhead power lines etc
I’m a shareholder etc so people might think I’m biased but the tech fbr has is forward looking and offers real solutions .. it’s also proven as they built already real houses etc ( they going into USA very soon
@@foodverge I figure, you combine salad ingredients efficiently and you 1. minimize damage 2. lower time to customer which has compounding issues when it comes to salad. Basically don't smash everything and your salad should be fine.
All looks great but where is the sanitation fit? There are many moving parts, and they all look great however in real life that equipment gets dirty. Food Safety First
Thanks for update. As you mentioned about the price of Sally... that's the concerns as another robot producer myself - what's a reasonable price - the price for Sally is actually very reasonable as a machine, but yes it might sound expensive with just one single function.. and it takes like more than a year of R&D to prefect such machines... so there it comes the confusion.. :}
I have a feeling that by the time I become a senior citizen we will all have robots in our homes and won't have to clean our houses or do laundry, or cook!
Honestly this is the only way eating out is ever going to be affordable again. Entry level fast food jobs are supposed to be minimum wage positions. People are not supposed to sit in them as their permanent career. They are supposed to seek training and education in a field that pays more. All of these people demanding $15+ an hour to do this work are destroying the industry. That's not what it's designed for. Maybe we will see the day again that you can get a double cheeseburger at a fast food place for $1 again.
@@foodverge honestly I doubt we ever will see the prices that low again. But I do think automation could bring prices down. Labor is always the biggest expense so if that could be reduced then I would think that would open the opportunity up to lower prices.
Maybe ppl asking for more earnings because the price of everything has gone up except there earnings! Thats why it feels like slavery! How about drop the prices to wt they was b4 covid n then ppl can live a less stressful worring life n not worring about if there gnna be able to eat n have gas to cook there own food at home lasting till the next pay day. They wasnt on great earning b4 covid hit n they put everything up £££££ not only that there was massive job loss & debt building up during lockdown these food chain workers deserve to be paid well they run around all day for other ppls needs n wants for there bellys but worring if there going to afford there weekly shop! There not there to be treated less than nobody else on this planet cz there job title being a cook isnt easy work nor injury free give them more wages i say n dnt put them in a catagory as " deserve low income" cz the buisness there employed by doesnt determin wt a human should be treated like its discrimination going off the name of that company for the employees
I would love to use robots. But it does have to make sense. I went to restaurant that had robots brought food to table but server came and places it on our table. It would of been faster to just pushed a cart. In that sense its not helpful. It has to do more functions. If it does i would love one of those robots. Ramen robot be great!
Honestly, restaurants skyrocketing per year and tipping now asking 30%? Yeah, its time they go, quality inconsistent and even supervisors get reliable staff - or, robots
When I was in high school many years ago, I worked at McDonald's and I've got to wonder how on earth Flippy can work. First off, even with its slow speed, you saw that it was inaccurate on one of the patties, putting it half way on the wire tray and half way on the table. Secondly, it was SLOW! Maybe they slowed it down just to demonstrate it to us, but it was moving at an incredibly slow rate. It's so slow, I'd worry that by the time it got to the last patties to flip, they would already be overcooked.
Ya I see some new types of burger cooking robots cook the burger on both sides at the same time like a George Foreman grill. Do you think that would help the time problem?
@@InsideTheDarts "This Will Just Bring More Jobless Workspaces." Good, humans should only be doing intellectual stuff. I feel passionate about that. Food preparation is disgusting work. Working in agricultural fields is hard work that causes injury. Any crop that CAN be harvested automatically SHOULD be harvested so. Now, we probably aren't going to need seven billion physicists, so a lot of people will just be running on UBI, but that's good. Humans are not machines.
