The plan is for it to be ready in less than minutes from the time the order is placed. Wow they are really setting the bar high, would that goal be met if they served the order in say 59 minutes? Or less than 59 seconds?

It was there into the 90s, actually. I used to use it because I worked at 43rd & 2nd and lived at 44th & 2nd.

But I thought they wanted to pay all of those poor fast food workers $15.00 an hour. Works out so well, no people, no payroll taxes, no social security taxes, no downstream spending, an excellent end result..........not!

In the photo in post #24 everyone has a cup of coffee. Imagine how long they would linger if smartFones, tablets and laptops were around back then. Not even brick sized cell phone back then which is a crime against humanity!!!

Never above Barleycorns! The smell alone would kill me.
I lived uptown for about 27 years than moved to midtown - the Beaux Arts, actually. A beautiful old building but was kinda down on its luck, lol.

We just got home from a restaurant.

And the four men at the table were probably strangers to one another. NYC eat and run.
Smart phones with free wi-fi just don’t make for high turnover, key to profitable lunch sales.

But … but … what about all those ‘servers’ who need $15 per hour jobs?

At least they have tables. At a five-sided building in Wash DC, you eat standing up.

There are tables and chairs in the food area of the main concourse. The old cafeteria went away when the building was renovated, now it is all ‘fast food’ joints, no more decent meals.

From the article: “The dozen or so cooks remain unseen behind the wall of cubbies.”
Aside from the fact that there are no robots cooking any food, this article is completely accurate.
They’ve only dispensed with the order takers.
Once the food compartment opens, why can’t someone make off with someone else’s order?

Shucks - I was so looking forward to eating there but I only have a “dumb phone” and pay with cash. Guess that leaves me out. So sad - another wonderful dining experience I guess I’ll have to miss!

After, I walked all I could walk. Talked all I could talk. Laughed all I could laugh. Watched soccer all that I could watch soccer. FReeped all that I could FReep and slept all I could sleep.
