New SF restaurant to use robotic burger maker - steve... - 07-02-2016
I have my doubts about machines making better (and cheaper) burgers than people. According to the article, they will be grilled to order.
...the focus of the restaurant will be on the robot burger maker. Momentum’s advertisement states that the restaurant will “feature the world-premiere of our proprietary and remarkable new advances in technology that enable the automatic creation of impossibly delicious burgers at prices everyone can afford.”
SFGate
Edit: Here's a diagram of the machine which I think was demonstrated on an old episode of I Love Lucy.

Aaanddd that looks like a hamburger made by a machine that makes 400 hamburgers an hour.

If the price is right, I'm in.

I want to see the other end where they feed the cow into it.

This doesn't surprise me. They probably can't find any help in SF unless they pay them at least $20 per hour, and the lease is probably 100 times more than it would be in flyover country. And yet people still want burgers.

I could see a fast food place using the basic technology to replace employees and increase consistancy. Wendy's can pare it with the self-order kiosk and self-serve drinks to virtually eliminate all staff. Just need someone for cleanup, and a troubleshooter.

If you want a good burger, grill ground chuck.

I would LOVE to open a Robot Dipped ice cream shop! What with all these signs stating their ice cream is hand dipped! How stupid. How else you gonna get ice cream out of the big tubs unless by hand? Until I can make a robot to dip it out! My sign would proudly state: Robot Dipped Ice Cream! Hands Down, the Best! :popcorn:

Just commute cheap labor in a hundred miles every day on those free high speed trains the benevolent government is going to serve the 1% with.

Just another work sector that's getting automated. Cook staff earn far less than wait staff, so the need for automation is high in places like SF.
