Why didn't automated restaurants take off?
>>107016176the only people dumb enough to eat fast food are their own employees. can't have customers when your employees have no monies.
>>107016176when do you need to cook at this scale and who's to say they don't use these tools when cooking at scale?
>>107016176Cleaning and maintaining the equipment is harder and more expensive than just putting the fries in the bag.The ice cream machine is always broken, now imagine if the entire store was an ice cream machine.
>>107016176>Replace low skilled burger flipper with high skilled maintenance engineer.
>>107016176Your average franchisee or independent restaurant owner doesn't have the capital to invest in a fully automated kitchen, and even if they did, restaurant profit margins are so thin that they would never get their investment back.It's probably one of the last industries that will be eliminated by automation because the monetary incentives just aren't there.
>>107016176The required work is just intricate enough that machines cannot fully replace the staff, if I'm not mistaken.
>>107016184>source: trust me bro
>>107016211>high skilled maintenance engineerHas to be a stupid indian enginaar.
>>107016176black labor is cheaper
>>107016203>The ice cream machine is always brokenThat is a conspiracy. There are multiple "documentaries" about it on YouTube.
>>107016243Still higher paid.And he'll have to be on close call constantly since you can't chase off hungry customers because the machine broke.
>>107016176you need someone to be there otherwise brown people will steal food, and the gypsies will disassemble and steal the machines
>>107016203"the ice cream is broken" is euphemism for "we are too lazy to clean it properly"
>>107016371Nah, it was more that they wanted to clean it but if it's off by more than 1 degree during the nightly cleaning routine the machine errored out and purposely didn't let you know what was wrong.The overly strict routines at McD's where not for food safety reasons and other machines by the same company didn't have these issues as they weren't as strict in the way they operate.
>>107016176Niggers.Niggers would shove their shoes, dick, finger or something else in there somewhere or just throw trash in the gears because that's just what niggers do.>just put a wall around itWatch them put their toddler up the food conveyor outlet.
>>107016176It's cheaper to do automation at the factory level once rather than at the restaurant level tens of thousands of times.
>>107016442>the machine refuses to work because mcdonalds has higher standards than the legal bare minimum>this is somehow badnot everything is a conspiracy, stop being a parrot for franchise owners wanting to nickel and dime
>>107016176china has done up to a reasonable point in their neighborhood canteens
>>107016491It was a conspiracy because the entire reason they where programmed in such a way was to make money on service calls.As a franchise owner, you are required to have the McD's branded machines from Taylor so Taylor has a captured clientele.There is literally no reason for the machines to be programmed the way they where other than to create service calls, it's not better to basically have hardcoded and strict values on heating and timing when a simple PID loop would pasteurize the mix just as well regardless of initial mix temperature, ambient temp, or hopper fill level.The real damming thing is that error codes are obscured.
>>107016211Yeah, but there's one of the latter and 20 of the former. Do the math.
>>107016176the talmud is very strict on the administration of poison being done by human hands
>>107016593I've never seen a restaurant with 20 burger flippers.Usually just one guy, or maybe two at busy times.And all the other crew will still be needed.
In a way, we did, like if you stop to think "hotpocket" and other instant foods are already an "automation of food". But that's not what you actually meant, I get it.Think about all the things that go into restaurants: you need someone to wash the dishes, you need someone to take the food from point A to point B, you need someone who needs to do all those things which honestly have nothing do with preparing food itself, but rather about managing materials and navigating environments.And this, my friends, automation SUCKS AT. It sucks so much that the only place we see this sort of automation is in large scale industry where the scale factor ends up making it worth it.tldr; to automate restaurants you need robots
>>107016755Fast-food restaurants are largely self-service, so it could work. Like one of those Japanese vending machines times a thousand.
>>107016747A lot of franchisees operate more than one restaurant. A couple spatula jockeys per store two or three shifts a day starts to add up.
>>107016176Probably costs more to clean and maintain this shit than it does to hire teenagers.
>>107016176Machines can't vote, politicians need votes. Brown people cost very little to employ and give them the votes they need as a bonus.
>>107016176Because of Big Mac
OP is from thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FmXLqImT1wE
>>107016914All work done by an African American with the orders taken by a woman
>>107016598is that real butter? he has to serve hydrogenated oil to call it heart attack grill
>>107017003Dairy country. Butter is super cheap in Wisconsin
>>107016598Do Americans with normal weight even exist?
>>107016176Many restaurants are supplied with food that is often made in factories off site. I think olive garden does this.
>>107016176the coefficient technology/price of hiring third world migrants hasn't been tipped to this very day,The day someone who's money buys a lot of Chinese shit and get the PLCs and then writes as much assembly as the guy who made roller coaster tycoon, maybe it we might see it soon.At least a chatbot has beaten in cost efficency someone with a screen taking your order from India,philippines or Peru, so that's a small victory.
>>107016176The closest thing I can recall is, from back in the 30s or 40s, automats.
>>107016578how poor is your reading comprehension?i hate maccies as much as you but theres no conspiracy herefranchise owners are some the most whiny entitled faggots imaginable, theyre complaining about standards set by mcdonalds, the standards they explicitly agreed to comply withwant to run your a restaurant where you dont have to clean some of the most filthy machines in existence go ahead, it just wont be under the mcdonalds trademark
>>107016176Franchise owners won't feel like they've made it in life unless they have employees beneath them.
>>107017398>want to run your a restaurant where you dont have to clean some of the most filthy machines in existence go aheadThey do clean them you retardMost of the problems string from PART OF THE CLEANING CYCLE from then they clean the machine's parts and have to pasteurize the ice cream for the next day of serving.They purposely make these machines twitchy and then make the machines not disclose why they failed the cycle.
>>107016176Exploiting people is still cheaper I guess. For now.
>>107017217Does Ozempic exist?
>>107016244It’s actually illegal labor basically everywhere outside of the niggered south. Even in the south, the buffets and casual dining restaurant kitchens are all staffed with illegals
>>107016176You still need people to make sure the machines are working. So you're just paying a shitload to automate and not saving much on labor
>>107016593>20No. 3 highly skilled engineers on shift, 5+ servers and quality assurance fags. 3 cleaners because we know engineers won't do it.
>>107016176McDonald's has only 1/3rd as many employees as fifteen years ago but has more locations. The problem with most people's visions of automation is that they think it has to be 100% robotic instead of boring things that simply improve the efficiency of the humans. Little things like having buttons on the drive-thru drink dispenser for each size of cup so the worker doesn't have to stand there manually filling the cup saves time. Restaurants are filled with lots of these little time savers and as control systems and sensor improve, more and more things like that get added.Automated restaurants have taken off, it's just that the automations are so mundane, you don't notice most of them.
>>107016176A lot of things dont take off because of ((them)).
>>107019645Yeah I remember that back when I was in college>Someone orders ice tea>Machine freaks out>Have to reset all of the drinks in the queue and manually punch in a cup of ice>In the south so half of the drinks were ice tea>This went unfixed for the 2 years I worked at McDonald's
>>107019661i like the korean kimbap and japanese 711 sushi machines the best.
>>107016176Love is the most important ingredient, and you don't get that with robot made burgers
>>107016176I'm considering just eating onions for every meal
>>107019877I tried this and it didn't work out very wellturns out onions kind of suck to eat by themselves
>>107019877just boil cornmeal in water for breakfast, lunch and dinner. you can live on .20 per day.
>>107019779but I always make my robots with love
>>107016203Then they have more money to pay me to fix it.
>>107019779you mean when the cute mcwagie girl spits on your burger
>>107016176Pay to install expensive machines and then pay engineers to service them, probably quite often.Or pay some wagie minimum wage. The latter is probably still cheaper.
It's not automated but I enjoyed having a FEBO burger in Amsterdam. No human interaction and decent food.
>>107016371>>107016442McDonald's workers were repairing the machines, then told not to because the hardware was proprietary and they were breaking the law.https://www.npr.org/2024/11/02/g-s1-31893/mcdonalds-broken-ice-cream-machine-copyright-lawYou can't make this shit up!
>>107022861cant you read? they signed a contract stating service is mandatory this is how business law works, there are no consumer protectionsyou are FREE to start your own restaurant under your own name and do whatever you like
>>107016474This. People vastly underestimate how fiddly automation is. One frozen burger plant next to a packing house? Yeah, robot my shit up. Get the guy who designed the plant to run it and pay him whatever. Thousands of automated burger plants constantly taking delivery and serviced by vending machine guys? Hell no. That's Juicero level thinking.
>>107021166They might need a fix for this part.
>>107024715Yeah you have to be a real man to wok around those things
It could work anon, someone just needs to try again
>>107016176>Why didn't automated restaurants take off?All fast food slop is automated pre-made ''food'' and niggers throwing it together in the final step are cheaper than a machine and the people needed to maintain it.
>>107024715They need to authentically recreate the asian kitchen experience
>>107025541so replace the machines with mexicans, got it
>>107016598Damn, that's more butter than I'd eat in a week .>>107017217Yes but unfortunately we're getting rarer by the day.
