That's actually pretty cool. Increased efficiency, faster food, less attitude and probably a lot more hygienic too, what's not to like  This way they can fine tune the recipes and have the robots prepare perfect burgers at every outlet. I just did a quick search but couldn't find any recent news update on this, any idea when they gonna start the experiment?

Yes Robots going to play important part of our life in near future

I don't think that's possible in early 20 years. Robots have way more cost than regular people. In my country Mcdonalds pay 1.3$ per hour to their workers. You can't compete with these prices with cost-ineffective robots.

How much do you pay for a regular 4-cylinder car in your country?

The first programmer to build the spitting in your happy meal code will be a millionaire. Then there will be an automated smart contract that is going to insure your happy meal.

What a funny future

If that's true that would be nice because working in McDonald’s isn't that fun.

That is awful. What is the cost of food there? Hopefully the fast food workers can afford a place to live in at least!!

It would be nice if McDonald's began accepting bitcoins. At least then they would do something interesting.

2003 Ford Focus SVT >> At least 8k $.

1 Big Mac is ~3.5 $, menu is ~6.5 $.

Human beings are more cost-friendly than robots for Mcdonalds.

Yeah well, McDonald's is not even real food, but that's besides the point. Eventually the price of labor drops too low for machines to be able to replace it.

Which is exactly why this thread is about the opposite effect: $15/hr for giving people tasteless burgers fast, and a smile as extra...

Yes, but the minimum wage argument in America is different. They don't have a free market economy, it is mixed, the fast food workers have to rely on the government to sustain themselves if they are not paid proper wages.

And the fast food industry is looking to not depend on fast food workers anymore. Robots.

[thisappointed]

oh no,, its a disaster, i garuantee it.

[Loimu]

I mean, I like the idea. In the future robots will most definitely do lot of jobs that humans currently and still do. If it is already possible and working for McDonalds, then why not? I would like to visit in a place like this just to see it in action.

[Hirose UK]

Robots or not, McDonald's would still be serving their customers unhealthy food. If ever this becomes a reality, many people who are employed will be affected. As AI becomes truer and nearer, the danger of replacing humans with robots in different jobs is escalating. Good for the management and owners of McDonald's. Bad for the once employed humans who worked for them.

and maybe the other companies would follow Mc Donald's stepfoot using robot, and then terminators might be real

15 $ per hour? People who get paid 15 $ per day have more than minimum wage here. Your people's labor is very expensive.

There are high paying jobs in which people get paid a fortune per hour only to say hi or yes or no and so on. Tasteless burgers asid everybody has a right to work and get some money for it.
This is the world in which we live into.
