McDonald's tried this and it turned out minimum wage workers are cheaper and break less than cooking robots.


Robots will be cheaper eventually. And very easily reprogrammed.

For me the goal is not cheap food but quality food.

And the most expensive part of going out for many people? Driving there, if you consider the cost of their time.

Ultimately, we will get robotic vehicles to do that part too. We will see some very small vehicles once robotic vehicles are commonplace, perhaps delivering only a single meal.

And we'll also see robotic cooks that can cook anything, so they may become so common you won't need to drive to them.
