Can anyone explain how in 2022 these places aren't entirely automated?

A highschooler could write the code and build the arms in a week or two...

These guys post profits in the 10s of billions annually.

Literally no part of the food preparation can't be entirely automated, 10x fasters, run at the cost of electricity...

https://twitter.com/mikesington/status/1584988872920158208

what is the possible explanation for employing human beings to do this for 10h a day...

>> No.14942341

A few reasons. First, cleaning and maintenance are *alot* of work that cant be automated easily. If you've never worked in fast food before, you probably don't have an understanding for the sheer volume of grease produced in a single day of operation. Also, actually overhauling and switching to an automated system has an enormous startup cost along with a high risk, since it hasn't been done before.

>enormous startup cost

>cleaning
it's an automated system, it can just power wash itself

the grease can just be filtered through pipes and pumped into mexico or the ground

literally a 12 year old can design the system in a week and for a few hundred bucks then they can roll it out to thousands of locations and save billions on their hr costs.

If you think $14b is a lot of money in the context of researching, developing, purchasing and installing automation equipment, you're clearly out of touch or financially illiterate (which is totally fine - the overwhelming majority of people are). They've already automated much of the "front of house" side anyways - fast food will take the cheapest operational route, every time, without fail.

You haven't "done" anything, you are not God to say shit like "let there be light" and the shit just happens in an instant. You have to describe all the details of each part in terms of mechanical systems, you haven't even described the potential problems in the operation, not even entering the cost of the whole thing.

I doubt you even have "coded" anything in your life since this is usually taught in the first class of any programming course, let alone engineering course

i encourage everyone who thinks it would be easy to automate fast food to buy a barebones 3d printer and calibrate it to be dimensionally accurate, so it prints a 1x1x1 inch cube when instructed to. it's not hard, but you will discover there are many more intricacies to it than "printer.printCube(1,1,1)". good luck leveling the bed, adjusting feed rates, adjusting steps per move, adjusting temperatures, etc. i think most anyone who thinks they could just whip up a robotic arm fast food restaurant would be suicidal after an hour of it.

real life is not your minecraft redstone factory. you can build shit in your factorio world or your minecraft farm or whatever because you're given parts in an unrealistically perfect world that each generate no error and simultaneously tolerate massive error. when an object is supposed to be taken from a conveyor to another conveyor, the game engine will move it between them perfectly. the sponginess of the bread will not vary, there will be no risk of it bouncing sideways during a transfer, which jams the rest of the machine.
>spreader presses toppings evenly
even this step is wildly more difficult than it sounds. where does it press? what is the spreader shaped like? does it get cleaned between uses? how? how does it determine if the toppings are distributed evenly? are they placed uniformly so this can be done? if so, how are the ingredient-conveyors distributing them uniformly every single time? how do they tolerate differences in ingredient sizes like different sized slices of tomatoes or onions? does the slicer cut them perfectly uniform? is there a slicer? how does it accommodate onions of different sizes? does it throw away 90% of the input onions to prefer onions of a perfect size, then throw away 90% of those to prefer onion slices of an ideal geometry to be fed to the conveyors to be placed on the sandwich so the spreader can press them evenly?

No it isn't....

The machine to make a burger would cost $800 or so,

the current mc dicksuck employee is making 20-30k a year and the employer is paying close to 50k with taxes, bennies, gibs, insurance, additional staff, managers etc

The machine can make a burger for electricity and raw materials and 24h a day etc

People cannot buy 10-50 cent burgers from a drive through machine made.


you're talking about some kind of preserved precooked burger shit you need to microwave

I'm talking about the end product being identical to the human made one at 1% the cost to the consumer and still netting the owner a massive profit.

>put together by a human worker

they absolutely don't give a shit that a human is doing the end stage of anything
the human doesn't start the fire or make the electricity, they don't make the preprepped materials etc

It will then be feasible to use automation - the dynamism that requires at least a shred of creativity will be elimitated - McDonalds (or whatever GS chain) will already have assembled the burger perhaps even days before the person goes to order it.

food automation is inevitable and is already happening in some niche contexts, mostly as a gimmick right now
you'll see it slowly creep into fast food, one job at a time, and the store slowly transition to be more automation focused.

I dont believe people that go to eat fast food want the human touch of restaurant workers. People go with their families and friends, and that is the human touch, nobody cares about fry cooks.

>real life is not your minecraft redstone factory. you can build shit in your factorio world or your minecraft farm or whatever because you're given parts in an unrealistically perfect world that each generate no error and simultaneously tolerate massive error. when an object is supposed to be taken from a conveyor to another conveyor, the game engine will move it between them perfectly. the sponginess of the bread will not vary, there will be no risk of it bouncing sideways during a transfer, which jams the rest of the machine.
>>spreader presses toppings evenly
>even this step is wildly more difficult than it sounds. where does it press? what is the spreader shaped like? does it get cleaned between uses? how? how does it determine if the toppings are distributed evenly? are they placed uniformly so this can be done? if so, how are the ingredient-conveyors distributing them uniformly every single time? how do they tolerate differences in ingredient sizes like different sized slices of tomatoes or onions? does the slicer cut them perfectly uniform? is there a slicer? how does it accommodate onions of different sizes? does it throw away 90% of the input onions to prefer onions of a perfect size, then throw away 90% of those to prefer onion slices of an ideal geometry to be fed to the conveyors to be placed on the sandwich so the spreader can press them evenly?

since nobody here that ive seen has answered it legitimately, there is a simple yet annoying reason: worker revolt. historically when someone made a invention that put people out of work they were either witchhunted or there was some regulation put in place to preserve the current workforce. its not that companies don't want to or can't, its that they either aren't allowed to or would suffer from ri- peaceful protesters destroying all their locations. humans are scary. but mostly stupid.

Define "realistic". If we ignore financial aspects, then A would lead to an absolute transformation of your brand/product that is very much non-interchangeable and non-equivalent to the current McGoyslop fast food restaurant offering. It might not be desirable to only degenerate to a walk-in kiosk business model on various grounds besides the profit calculus (e.g. the remaining but little prestige associated with a restaurant gets lost, which in turn might give the impression it is not worth the prices, etc.).
Option B would fully preserve it. If that is deemed vital then great

A lot of restaurants have already implicitly phased out human order takers in favor of those digital kiosks, I know McDonalds and Taco Bell are almost entirely serving through kiosks at this point.

Completely replacing workers is relatively difficult at this point because food is just so diverse a product. You have hamburgers, chicken tenders, etc. All of which is prepared differently. Maybe in 10 years fast food joints will move to full automation, but not now.

Fast food is a scourge on the Earth with how many people it's dosed with microplastics. At least when you buy from the store they use a newly manufactured plastic container and let the food cool off first. Only takes like a month before it'll start throwing off microplastics and supermarket food is sold before then.

I think you are really underestimating how hard it would be to automate.

Think about your printer. That is an automated machine. They are annoying to use and set up.They always have weird and opaque issues that are hard to figure out. There is no screen or real error reporting. Mechanical stuff can fail.

And a consumer printer is so much simpler than an entire McDonald's store.

You think a building sized robot is simpler but actually hiring someone to manage a bunch of low skilled labor is easier.

From the photos I've seen, the new automats were targeted at urban hipsters, which is a bad demographic given their tendencies towards oversocialization. In Asia, vending machine culture has evolved into self-service stores and meal prep machines so it can work for the right target.
