Momentum Machines robot enables a restaurant can offer gourmet quality burgers at fast food prices.
It does everything employees can do except better:
* it slices toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible.
* their next revision will offer custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem.
* Also, our next revision will use gourmet cooking techniques never before used in a fast food restaurant, giving the patty the perfect char but keeping in all the juices.
* it’s more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour.
The labor savings allow a restaurant to spend approximately twice as much on high quality ingredients and the gourmet cooking techniques make the ingredients taste that much better.
They will launch the first restaurant chain that profitably sells gourmet hamburgers at fast food prices.
Their current device can pay for itself in less than one year, making equipment sales a second path for Momentum Machines.
In New York City, about 100 protesters blew whistles and beat drums as they marched into a McDonald's chanting "We can't survive on $7.25."
And in Detroit, more than 100 workers picketed outside two McDonald's restaurants, singing "Hey hey, ho ho, $7.40 has got to go!"
One-day labor walkouts were planned at fast-food restaurants in 100 cities Thursday, with protests in scores more cities and towns across the nation.
The machine takes up 24 square feet but replaces all of the human cooks and kitchen. The restaurant can be smaller and make more revenue per square foot. Most short order restaurants need to pay $135,000 per year for the cooking staff. The robot replaces the people, the kitchen and uses less space.
The Robotic restaurant was described in detail by Marshall Brain in his fictional story Manna.
For the very same reason it took so long for cotton picking machines to be invented, economics.
Back then it was slavery which was more economical, today it's Pedro.
Nor will it spit on it because it perceives you as a white oppressor.
OH MY GOD! It is true! Someone send this to the media and the assholes in washington!
lol
And it won’t spit in your food if you look at them the wrong way.
Anybody remember it?
Just walk into your local grocery store. Over 95% (if not all) of what you can buy was handled by at least one machine, a lot of it was cooked by a machine.
It just wouldn’t be a trip to McDonalds without someone greeting you in broken English... “Wehkum to Madonnas.”
Robots will work for free, and do jobs no human will do!

Solution: Work making the machines. If you can, start a robotics company and focus on one specific discipline. Slice that discipline carefully.
Building robots is labor-intensive, and they do require maintenance... Yet, the costs are miniscule vs. paying a crew a $15/hr minimum wage... Let’s do it...
The McDonald’s in New York JFK Airport is already fully automated from ordering to food prep...
All well and good but does the damn thing speak English?
Might leak oil on it though.......
Best post on this thread so far.
Never been to a Bucces in Texas have you. Cheap gas and clean restrooms.
Great tip. Thanks.
This is neato and all, but “you-know-who” will still climb over the counter to throw fries at it.
Food poisoning is going to go way down, you know, because certain types of workers don’t wash their hands after taking a dump...
