Robotics.

You can make a whole store that processes the hamburgers with only one person inside to keep an eye on things

[Mr. Douglas]

Yep. The restaurant in Back to the Future II comes to mind.

In the 60s it was “plastics”. ;)

That’s a great idea. They’ve been taking the “fast” out of fast food for many years.

Hire a private security guard to chase the heroin addicts away from your store?

Robotics
I understand a robotic arm costs around $30k. It can replace 3 employees. So 3 of these devices can replace the staff at a typical McDonald's. Even factoring in repairs, maintenance and upgrades there's a substantial cost savings. Plus robots can work 24/7, don't called in sick, don't need FMLA, AND cannot sue for workplace discrimination. Unless "Robotic Americans" becomes a new protected class. HMMM,better keep my big mouth shut. Don't want to give the libs and trial lawyers more dumb ideas.

TOP TEN LIST TO INCREASE SALES AT MCDONALDS

1. Decrease age for senior coffees to 40
2. Have petting zoo at each location
3. Butcher the cattle and chickens from the petting zoo on the premises in full view of the customers.
4. Make sure animals are slaughtered by rabbi to make them Kosher.
5. Increase sales in Muslim countries by offering “Ayatolah Cola.”
6. Have the help wear kilts. (no underwear)
7. Renovate the drive thru whereby ordering is the same, but for pick up, ELECTRIC CARS can have option of driving into the directly and pick up order from the counter. (This might result in some bit time endorsement and investment money from Elon Musk.
8. Offer Adult version of McDonald’s Meal in a box. (Use your imagination.)
9. Where recreational marijuana is legal, offer Marijuana Veggie Burgers.
10. REduce number of workers per shift in store from 200 to 20.
