it's probably not going to be that popular an option in your average burger joint., where installation costs would be prohibitive.

And at some point, these things will break down and the results might burn the place down without fast human intervention. And these high tech options will most likely stay broken for some time as repair people will be understaffed and overworked, just the way we all have been for so long.

Robotics might transform large scale production, but I don't honestly see them eliminating that many jobs at restaurants, no matter how much the corporate C level executives hate paying their workers.
