They won't cutt the prices. All that is going to happen is these greedy people going to get wealthier. Please learn from the family owned in and out they take care of there workers and don't raise prices like McDonald's ext
Pretty soon, green backs (paper currency) and coins will longer be used. People will only be able to pay with cards. And if all McDonald's go robotic, the only workers that will keep their jobs will be the cleaning crew.
What does one expect when employers are having a hard time hiring and keeping employees? Throw in many employees acting like they are doing world a favor by showing up to work. Then you have states like Cal. pricing those employed out of work by forcing business to pay higher and higher wages that raises the cost of food. Something has to give.... No place will be 100% run by robots. There will always be those who oversee and repair those robots. A number of the jobs loss to robots will just be shifted into new fields.
I grew up on McDonald's. I would never frequent a totally automated restaurant. They will come and go, just like the self check out line. Screw large corporations with junk food. 😒
The selling point for 100% automated robotics fast food restaurants is the significant reduced risks of deliberate criminal human tampering of food, or accidental tampering of food that result in food poisoning, loss of foetus for pregnant women and deaths.
It will be boarded up in no time at all. Just like with electrical vehicles the American public is not even going to deal with it, business better learn not to try to control us. I'll turn around and walk out. I already have not entered a McDonald's in 2 years now, I also will not go through Checkers drive-thru with automated systems. If these corporations intend on staying in business, I suggest that they stop their foolishness now! In the past two years I have found a lot of different alternatives to fast food restaurants.
Just wait until a Friday nite or a bus pulls on the lot. Who cleans the bathrooms which always get trashed out as well as the lobby when the customers are gone? Who performs daily maintenance? And who receives shipments? It looks good until you do some research.
The only upside I see for these automated restaurants would be that if Karen were to come in they would no longer have anybody to yell at if something goes wrong😢
Well, of course not. The money saved on labor will be spent on equipment costs and then repair & maintenance. Once annual labor costs reach a certain point that making the decision to automate becomes a LATERAL move, the decision will be made to move forward, like we are seeing here. Also effecting the decision will be no more call outs, disgruntled employees, inefficient employees, rude or indifferent employees and let's not forget medical claims. So, costs will be similar and so prices will not go down. Now, If the whole "living wage" argument for no skill jobs was never implemented. We'd all be enjoying our $6 meals and there wouldn't be millions of no skill jobs about to be axed in the next 5 or 10 years.
I'm all for it. They will still need humans to clean the tables, empty the garbage, scrub the toilets, etc., but all food will handled by robots. I love it!
Can make an auto potty brush, can make an arm to swipe and wipe the tables. Down to one employee per store. So, uh, hundreds of thousands of people out of a job, increasing poverty and homelessness. This is awesome. Wait, with fewer people having an income, who will be able to buy their food? Sales go down so prices go up to maintain profits. Since McFood is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Index, they must maintain and increase their profit to give the illusion that the economy is good. Is only good for the billionaires that profit from putting humans out of work. What a great thing, eh?
In the UK, all our McDonald's went over to self-service a few years ago. Where you have to faff about tapping on screens. I haven't been back to one since the first one where i encountered this nonsense. I certainly won't be going to a fully automated one.
The government will research a way to come up with taxing the robots, both the city, this county, the state and the federal government. The first one that comes up with the best way to text him will get $1 million bonus from the government.
It work just fine here I'm Texas And the food is excellent no Problem The employee all give or salt fris And smash Hamburger Love adomated MC DONALD FOOD IS NICE AND HOT Not cold like the McDonald restaurant in California
Anyone who trusts a robot to cook for them is kind of silly we have malfunction machines constantly can you imagine having something wrong with your food by them
It all sounds great but wait when the power goes out what do you do then or a module goes out and it causes the arms to go all over the place which ends up catch up on the wall on the floor and so forth good luck
I love the concept. No bad tempered, uneducated, nasty attitude, employees the customers can yell at, and threaten, because the shake machine is out of order, AGAIN! 😅
I will not go to a restaurant that is taking away from people's jobs, I will just cook or make something from home. This is the huge problem with the way America is going!! Why are we wanting to take away from our Citizens jobs? Are you okay with this? I for one will not go to a fully AI restaurant!! Period!!
Why "unsettled"? Fast food restaurants are struggling to find people to work for them, at least ones that speak English. I went to Sonic today and there were 3 people working the, took way too long to get my food, with a robotic burger flipper carrying part of the load food will get done better than humans can do it.
Yes😂 I first notice this change in 2018 when I was in Spain 🇪🇸, good. When you open your order at a MAC. it looks like garbage, maybe now it will look appetizing, besides this I’ve seen them in the restrooms and the employees don’t wash. At least the robots will be hygienic, do they pee?
They have no other option for keeping the price lower 4 them n staying in business like California were McDonalds employees ger $20 n houe n a big Mac is $18 with fries people arn't gonna pay that n will cook at home n I think this is a good idea 4 them to stay in business 😮
THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW
It’s a scam! In 2012 McDonalds in Australia paid their workers 16 American dollars an hour. The combos were about even with American prices. Today in Indonesia with a fully staffed store they sell a Big Mac combo for $4.50 American dollars. The workers are paid a living wage. $20 dollars an hour is very low for California. They charge $16.00 for Big Mac combo. What a scam! Indonesia and Australia use 100% Australian beef which is much better than American beef. What’s the beef McDonalds? We’re onto your scam!
