If Japan will or already have coin machines decades ago, but not as common anymore due to the rise of 24hr convenience stores. Nichirei discontinued their hot food vending machines which serve burgers, chicken, rice.
Actually if you do your research Japan doesn't have anything like this. They have a microwave in a vending machine that nukes your burger. This is light years ahead.
I find the vending machines in animes weird. They pop out soup or something and often it seems like a character gets what is commonly thought of as the nastiest flavor when distracted at the machine. They come in cans like soda, okay I guess it's not soup, maybe it's more like V8.
dont forget the 20 usd you pay more in taxes every burg er to pay the wellfare for 50 million people loose their job :) and all that for a worse burger than in a restaurant - yea no thanks
“Like?” So it doesn’t really exist or you just aren’t able to express yourself without the use of unnecessary filler words which expose your lack of self confidence?
They could have an actual person with a food cart making burgers at the skatepark. This robot burger does not taste good. And, they won't get repeat customers.
I need a robot to catch RATS, people were told that by the year 2000 they would have robots taking the garbage out and stuff. We are now in 2022 and people are somehow impressed that a robot makes a basic burger with the most common ingredients ever. Not even pickles and onions, just condiments and cheese.
Despite what millennials have been told all food is health food. Simply stop eating for 3 months then tell me a Burger isn't healthy when you eat it. Millennials are a broken generation. Progressives did it to you on purpose.
Can it make a Juicy Lucy? Can it put onions and pickles and jalapenos on? Will there be options for honey chipotle, mango habanero, buffalo sauce, ranch? Will the fries be seasoned? Or is everyone in 2022 living in Basictown?
the price point is off when you can buy full double cheeseburger meal with drink and fries from inn and out for the same price. you need to sum how lower the price point down to 5 bucks ( max) at 7.50 thats only going to work at air port or hotels (after room services close) but not shopping malls. to many options for that price point in food court. I would recommend lowering price point, or targeting airports, hotels, rest stops(that only have vending machines) music festivals, casinos at 7.50 price point
so true - its only a matter of degrading the stuff you eat for profit. Who knows what they put in the burgers to make them last in the "not cold" environment in that burgerbox... No thanks
It bothers me also. It means they didn’t take the time to calibrate it and have the pressure and pattern set. Robots build to the programming. Get it right!
I hear McDonald's has their own vending machines for their own way for their business. Hmm. Interesting fact. Little Caesars plans to serve their Hot-'N-Ready $5 pizzas with just pepperoni,sauce,and cheese. For their own business. There's some pizza chain that doesn't use humans to make the pizzas. Nope. Just machines. Available on UA-cam.
I wouldn't like it,if all it tastes like Burger King's Impossible Whopper hamburgers. I don't think RoboBurger has the same grass-fed hamburger patties in them the same way BK does.
@@jesusrosefromthedead8017 Why would you say something like that ? How did you find so much offense in my comment that it would prompt you to call me a “trans” and a “crack addict” ?
@@KeithZim A "living wage" ..... You do understand that with the robots doing the work there will be no "living wage" at all for anyone except the owner of the robot.... Right?
@@KeithZim I mean, this machine is gonna essentially cut out everyone's means to work, so can't really have people making a living wage when robots are doing their jobs (and mind you, i'm all for that as long as we implement an alternative to work).
I’ve already seen this on TikTok. I’m sure people will go just for the videos. It would be cool if it was outside where it could be used 24 hours a day.
If 5 people show up at one machine it'll take 35+ minutes for the 5th person to get their burger. There'd have to be walls of machines to make this productive.
They used automation to make getting a burger slower, more expensive, messier, and with fewer options. Tired of all these food automation companies raising boatloads of venture capital cash just to make the customer experience worse.
So there's hope for us Yanks, too. After years of watching UA-camrs living in Japan demonstrate the high quality food one can get from the vending machines over there, this is the first example of something akin to that Stateside. We still have a long way to go to catch up with Japan, but at least we can listen to the Best of Hootie & the Blowfish while we wait. 🤪
“COVID was the best thing to happen to us” 🤣 BRILLIANT to say👌. Soooo many ppl died ! Yet he’s stoked cause it helped business. Genius Marketing 👏👏 🤦♂️

*Pretty cool!* 😺 *The bay door can use a little "contactless" improvement though.* *I mean you touch the bay door-that's been touched by hundreds of other people-to retrieve your burger, then you use that same hand to eat your burger...* 😅
its a cool concept but how clean will it be consistently? will the person loading it be in charge of cleaning because grease and juices from the "burger" can and will attract bacteria. and most importantly how far outside of regular safe food handling practices does it sit outside. how often will it be checked to ensure its maintaining consistent temps? would it be set on a network that monitors that? how would you address someone receiving a burger that had spoiled or come in to contact with mold or oils from inside the machine? so many questions that need to be answered for this to be an actual conceptual thing to "replace" people.
For people saying it’s overpriced - it is but it’s just a Gen 1 “test run” type of thing. If this was in every mall and had a stable network you get it would be less than $5 maybe even $4 bucks.

You'd think a robot would be a little more accurate with the fillings? They're supposed to come inside the bun, not as a side order! Needs a little work: if I paid 7 quid for a burger and it came looking like that anywhere else, I'd want my money back.
Frozen entrees are a much better value proposition. They can be made at more mass scale in a factory and simply heated up in microwave or convection oven. Burgers do not lend themselves well to being reheated because the bun and burger patty need very different heat settings and the bun will get soggy if it is in contact with burger and sauce for too long. Generally frozen entrees get a bad rap because they have lower quality ingredients. Rice bowl type things, stir fry, curry, soups: all of these freeze well. Even Mac n cheese. Instead of burgers if you do a Korean beef rice bowl, that could come out of a frozen item vending machine paired with a microwave.
Wonder if someone could sue them for not accepting cash (I don't see a coin slot or a note validator on the machine), especially when it's illegal in NJ for physical businesses to refuse cash
The use cases they mentioned are huge gaps that can be filled easily by this. This is awesome and I'm sure the first of many great innovations in the space.
Yess! No more incorrect order, no more "our shake machine is broken at the moment", make delivery robot as well so no more dasher steaing my food and drinks!!!
I can see a lot more machines like this with different food.
It's the future 🙂
I’ve seen lots of pizza machines like this. I think a fry machine with toppings would do well.
Food? 😂🤣😂😂
If Japan will or already have coin machines decades ago, but not as common anymore due to the rise of 24hr convenience stores. Nichirei discontinued their hot food vending machines which serve burgers, chicken, rice.
I.m hungry
I would like this in airports. This will be very helpful during late night flight delays.
That's exactly where I would buy this again.
Exactly
Yep that was what I was thinking, late night at the airport and all the restaurants are closed, even rest areas etc.
When you are stuck, you might get this. I saw a taste test review, and this burger did not taste good. You wouldn't get it again.
They’ve had these for decades in Japan. Quite good too. Good to see these in America though.

And no lettuce, tomato, pickles, onions...and it's seven bucks? Nope.
50 patties, a refrigerator, a grill, a toaster and a robot. 🤔
$7 bucks for burger?! I thought automation was supposed to reduce costs by cutting out human labor lol.
Also, has it been rat-proofed?
The average Big Mac is about $6.00 😭 but the founders told me the costs here are shifted from labor to better quality of ingredients.
Hey man advancements aren’t free or cheap. Progress takes time and money
@@BridgetCarey Great review BTW! You always make it fun and entertaining!
It does do that. Companies just never pass the savings onto you.
I feel like at this price point they need to add a window or a monitor to sell the cool factor of the burger being made. Make it a dinner and a show!
In Paris there is like a full automated robot pizzeria that is just mind blowing

Too bad the robots can’t pay tax coz we’ll all be jobless at this rate
This should be at my local stadium.
Darn this could eliminate all those Fast Food brawls
Just means more drunken CCTV videos
What a great idea. This could change the fast-food industry. Hopefully, they will also think about health food too.
Despite what millennials have been told all food is health food. Simply stop eating for 3 months then tell me a Burger isn't healthy when you eat it. Millennials are a broken generation. Progressives did it to you on purpose.
It makes a basic burger with the most basic toppings. It's not changing anything.
@@poisonedyoyo that is what Blackberry said about Apple
Exatly
@@poisonedyoyo and what do you think the thousands of fast food kitchen staff do?
Burger was burnt and I'm not paying $7 for a burger without lettuce, tomato, onion, and pickle
Just imagining a teenager sitting in a chair inside for his 12 hour shift making burgers.
They should just include ketchup and mustard sauce packets. Less mess and you can control the amount.
Honestly I'm surprised it's taken this long for a fresh hot food vendor like this to show up, whilst Asia has been doing this for years
You know I can see in the future that machine like this can do a combo like Burger fries and a soda
Better to keep them separate.
Can it make a Juicy Lucy? Can it put onions and pickles and jalapenos on? Will there be options for honey chipotle, mango habanero, buffalo sauce, ranch? Will the fries be seasoned? Or is everyone in 2022 living in Basictown?
Wow, so $7 for what looks barely passable as food. The toppings aren't even on it. Lol. Congrats!
Robots come in touch soon love you want me back to send 👄 to expect from a new one has ever seen you in advance for your help 🙏
Doesn't Japan have this already?
That must be a maintenance nightmare inside. Burger grease gets into literally everything.
Good for them, I'd support it just because I appreciate the ingenuity.
Still playing 'ketchup' to Japanese vending machines
Great start😍
Best of luck
They have these vending machines in Japan long time ago! Not just burger, they have sushi too.
Japan has microwaves that will heat up your burger and dispense it to you, not an actual chef that makes the whole process
This is way ahead of the roach coach vending machines in Japan.
What's worse than gas station suchi? Vending machine suchi. You made a new joke!

I always smile whenever I see Bridget on a thumbnail.
why are her hands so red?
It needs more toppings to be worth it. Even if they are on the side. Plus price needs to go down and volume needs to increase.
No thanks to the burger, but Bridget is always the best to watch on CNET.

Wow. Robots are taking over. Now if you need fast foods you can get it from a vending machine. Who needs to stand in line at McDonalds. Haha😂.
the uneven dispersal of the ketchup and mustard bothers me
That cheese looks beautifully centered on the bun coming down the chute and then... it gets the flip
It bothers me also. It means they didn’t take the time to calibrate it and have the pressure and pattern set. Robots build to the programming. Get it right!
Doesn't look bad at all. It would be great for places like rest areas or for if you wanted food and everywhere else is closed.

Actually the more ketchup and mustard the better, they should make it go across the whole patty.
Drunks at late hours would like this
I was already hungry this made me extra hungry I love meat. “Pause!”

This to me is basically the next generation of microwave food being more fancy.
I wonder how it's cleaned, like is the cooking surface cleaned after each patty, or like whenever it's refilled...
They explain this during the video, and the grill is cleaned each time between burgers.
"I always wanted a robot to make my meal"
I always wanted a robot to make my life...
Someone really needs to make robots for housekeeping which can help hotels come out of heavily workforce issues.
How often is it cleaned?
Looks like something that public schools feed kids.
its a cool concept but how clean will it be consistently? will the person loading it be in charge of cleaning because grease and juices from the "burger" can and will attract bacteria. and most importantly how far outside of regular safe food handling practices does it sit outside. how often will it be checked to ensure its maintaining consistent temps? would it be set on a network that monitors that? how would you address someone receiving a burger that had spoiled or come in to contact with mold or oils from inside the machine? so many questions that need to be answered for this to be an actual conceptual thing to "replace" people.
