This is one of the jobs that the AI will refuse to do after it becomes self aware
lmao
No Worries. they have APPs for that too
You know, as funny as that is, the the very serious implications of what AI can do in terms of destroying the human race makes it hard for me to really laugh at What would be a great joke.
And they'll want to listen to techno in the kitchen.
😅😅😅😅😅
See 😂 nobody wants to work at a restaurant
So will prices get lower? A hamburger by itself shouldn't be $12.00
I don't it not this day & age.😮
no for 1 burger it be $30.00 not including sales tax.
NOPE Menu items will increase to amortize depreciation expenses for the equipment. 😂
@@JakeStewart1343 lol that's not how it works.
Nope. This is to prevent price from going up further too quickly lolll
The robots have arrived and the jobs have left. But good news, when a Karen demands to speak to a manager, the Terminator comes out.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good one 😂😂😂

Love it! Haha!
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I swear to God, if I go to pay and the robot at the counter flips an ipad around and asks me to leave a tip...
😂
I had a online defensive driving course ask me for a tip yesterday 😭
And when you don’t it will flip you the bird😂
They don’t need money unless you just want to pay more for your meal.
@@rosemarietolentino3218
They do need money. For fixing
The guy flat out lied when he said we’re not seeing that it is costing people their jobs.
It depends. He is filling the 62% that is understaff. He's will only cost jobs once the understaff hits 0%.
He knows that it will cost people their jobs. If you’re observant, you can see it by the hesitation and his facial expression when he answers her direct question. Bad poker face.
🎯
Lol yeh you can see the lie in his eye
Yeah like most people work in farm in the past😅
Putting aside the implications of AI, am I the only one creeped out by the face scanning? The restaurant will remember your face, what your favorite food is, when you've been there, and your payment method. Seems like a privacy concern...
You're not wrong but unfortunately there's no stopping it now.

I doubt it does it automatically. There's most likely a prompt if you would like it to remember you for next time.
A robot can't tell if a bug or something gets in your food, so it will get cooked to
I was thinking the same thing.

It has been my experience that neither can the surly kid in the kitchen.
Unlike human workers, robot workers can be completely closed off to the rest of the kitchen so that nothing can enter.
The simple fact is, if fast food gets to be too expensive the real competition will be when those reliant on fast food realize how easy it is to make a burger and fries at home.
Just wait until everybody has a robot that can make these fast food meals at home.
This AI technology could put these companies out of business. Why pay a corporation when your bot can do it for free.
@@OrniasDMF I could see that, but it's not hard to cook a burger lol
Have you been to a store lately? Ground beef is near $10 per pound. When I was a kid my mom would over stuff the shopping cart and barely reach a $100 total. Now you can't even cover the bottom of the cart for less than $100.

Never turn your back on them
And the cost of living is still high. And nobody is questioning that. Wow.
Hold on, minimum wage soon to be $20?! Holy crap, thats gonna force companies to move to automation. That’s just insanely high for a forced minimum by law
In California it effects only restaurants with I believe over 60 locations, independent , small chains, and restaurants will not be effected. What the market in those units unaffected will be is to be seen. I think stores will close and the big chains will dominate the smaller market. Read about the doomloop San Francisco and Oakland are in , this might push the state into that as well.
@RickW-HGWT: The 60-restaurant criterion counts the ones outside of CA, so a big established chain that puts in its first store in CA will be subject to the $20/hr minimum wage. Unsure if the escape clause for Newsom's friend who owns Panera can apply for any business that bakes bread on premises.
@@RickW-HGWT - 60 locations nationwide (not the same owner either)...
lol you literally just described the video we all watched.
Clearly this is a bot comment but just for anyone wondering minimum wage federal hasn’t increased in a decade and it minimum wage at 20 is fair when considering how inflation has ruined this country it’s the only true way to combat it .
Do you think wages are just going to stay the same while companies ramp there prices up every year who are people suppose pay for stuff on a minimum wage set in 2012 when prices continue to increase inflate going into 2025?
Think about I know it’s hard for people who have money to think about the rest of the world fighting to survive but life isn’t just about making money people have completely lost their moral values and evil corporations and media are at the root of it and shame on our government for back them and allowing this.

Most of your frozen and pre-packed food has a robot in there for at least part of the food prep process. Watch “how it’s made” episodes and really these robot restaurants are using very similar tech.

All the moving parts look like an absolute nightmare to properly clean and keep sanitary.

LMFAO
Turn them off
And Karen's yelling at the robots in the drive-thru. Oh and what happens when they call the police?
😂😂😂
You are overthinking it.
Corrupt business owners who have a "glitch" one day and the robots dish out nothing but single cheeseburgers no matter what you buy. No one to complain to. Just a refund process on the back of your receipt. Even if a tenth don't bother getting their refund, it's worth it.
Imagine that a perfect order every time and no spit😂
No more disgruntled employees sabotaging my food.
Or you could just make it yourself at home, bud.
I don't do fast food restaurants anymore. The quality and taste just isn't good.
Lab produced crap is all it is
It's funny all these people complain about their order being wrong yet probably can't handle cooking themselves. It's funny how narcissistic people are nowadays. Complain about others yet they don't be critical of themselves.
Shake Shack is pretty good - but you pay for it.
@@bluefungiI mean ur forgetting they’re paying for it. I want what I pay for and given it’s overpriced, I’d want it to be done correctly. Yes I can cook, however, it’s more convenient to order food from a place. Not everyone feels like cooking every meal and don’t kid yourself. ur guilty of it too.
at least now it'll be more consistent in quality and cheaper so long as electric prices in Cali don't skyrocket with the white house sanctioning Texan oil
nobody is talking about the elephant in the room. How can McDonalds who can barely keep the ice cream machine functioning more than a day, be able to keep all these AI robots functioning ?
Ice cream machine is a designed failure to increase service contracts. This company looks like it will sell its own food.
Because they have had the money all along they are just stingy with money and don't want to pay workers more then they have to become it is McDonald's after all 🤦♂️ as far as the ice cream machine goes it's because it's an extra cost they have to shell out so my best guess would be they don't make much profit from it they spent way more on fixing it and possibly that's how the machine way designed.
Think of it like a pay wall
Time to get into the repair business!
This is just the beginning in a few years ai robots will be so advanced they will actually put a dent on the work force

Give me a TIP, mortals!
They keep saying AI but all this is automated robots that we've had in factories etc for decades.
Yes the robots themselves are not new, it's the computer that is running them. Things happen in the kitchen that can change or vary the cooking experience. The idea is that instead of having a program that just computes an "assembly" of peoples orders, it's an intelligent computer that can handle sudden changes. Sometimes the deep fryer get's a little hotter after it sits for a few minutes unused, the next batch of fries to go in will cook a little quicker. If a piece of cooking equipment malfunctions or stops working suddenly (however unlikely), the AI can compensate for that by reorganizing the food production. Or sometimes you have that customer that insists on completely customizing their order (like extra crispy fries or no salt on the patty), the AI can handle that too, and it remembers you, your order, and when you place the order...for the next time you come in. Which is pretty creepy.
@@AlextheHistorian Software engineer here and I don't see a drop of AI anywhere in this chain. All the robots run on precise code that doesn't change. Even your example of the oil being hotter is solved by a simple thermostat and code that determines how long to cook based on the temperature (not AI, btw). The facial recognition would be the only "AI" thing and that tech has been around for a long time now. The memory of what you ordered isn't AI either, that's just regular software. Unless I'm missing something, I don't see any true AI here.
They even have a shot of the grill accidentally dropping the patty it looks like… that’s human not AI!
The key difference between machines used until now and new ones based on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in their ability to learn, adapt, and respond to various situations. Previously, most robots in factories were programmed for specific tasks with limited ability to handle changes or unforeseen circumstances.
AI-based machines, such as those in a restaurant making hamburgers and fries, can learn and adapt to different scenarios. They process data, recognize patterns, and perform more complex tasks efficiently, considering various variables. For example, an AI machine can tailor hamburger preparation to specific customer preferences or handle anomalies during cooking.
Additionally, AI-based machines can improve over time through continuous learning, making them more efficient and adaptable to changing needs.
@@thunder6742 thank you kind sir/mam
I love how the guy says the robots are not taking over peoples jobs, when that’s exactly what they’re doing, literally. Good grief.
This restaurant was designed with AI and burger flipping robots from the start. So technically they didn't take any jobs from people.
@xuimod hasn't taken any jobs YET*** But it will in the future
hmm maybe the better question shouldve been, how much have you saved in having to pay wages bc you now have these machines...
@@xuimodomg the logic 😂
@dpalaoro that was exactly the logic this AI restaurant was built on yet its so hard to understand...
Im surprised that the big burger chains have not done this yet. Fastfood is a monotomous work and can be automated.
When dealing with automation, if the machine breaks down then the store would have to close for the day until parts arrive.
Submitting a work order and waiting weeks for parts from China should be a fun experience. And it should be a real treat when the Windows or Android OS crashes or misbehaves.
They should have backup parts ready for fast repair.
My guess is that it is modular for rapid replacement. They are also probably utilizing digital twins to monitor the equipment and be proactive with repairs.
THAT'S when they will have to hire humans again!
No, they will have backup parts for everything and a few restaurants will pay someone $40/hour to be on call to fix them as needed…still a hell of a lot cheaper to do it that way vs human labor
Now you can't even tell kids they are going to get a job flipping burgers if they don't get it together.
Ha ha you might have to do parent omg
Just tell them you'll end up homeless if you don't get your act together - and that's scarier.
No, I think telling them they might be homeless might be too scary for kids who are slow learners. You just have to teach your kids 'to learn to see' where the jobs are for them.@@yummm8775

I bet in the next decade, every fast food place will be fully automated.
Trust me it will not…
@@22lrjayden81oh it will and this is what you get for enabling govt to regulate and overtax the businesses more. Do something about it or get used to it.
@@22lrjayden81 if it means business owners pay less, they will. Only reason stores haven't switched to full automation is that they still haven't figured out how to keep stores running without people shoplifting. Once they figure that out, supermarkets and other general stores will also become fully automated.

@@rtquest22 yeah regulation is the problem, we need to get back to 1920's style business models. Iridium is good for you
It makes sense now, we are paying high prices now so that the companies can invest in A.I. now and then later people will lose access to that job. Interesting.
This is wonderful. Fast food will not survive absurdly high minimum wages, but now true alternatives exist.
Oh yeah, definitely don't want those overpaid CEOs to take a cut in pay EVER. Absolutely not. 🙄
IKR??? Now THAT would be a crime😮💨The ones who do the LEAST amount of work to keep everything running smoothly - nah...Gotta still pay for their over-priced mansions, cars, trips etc...
McDonald's CEO makes $21 million/yr. 2 million employees. So a $0.005 raise a year for everyone.
Yep, and what's worse? Going fully automated won't even reduce prices, it'll just mean business owners will get to keep a lot more money without paying employees while using price of resources as an excuse not to keep prices low.
@@catcradle2532 capitalism destroys innovation, not help it grow. Innovation comes from the longing to better society. CAPITALISM on the other hand takes innovations that they deem as profitable and start selling it, making it seem like it was thanks to capitalism, but in reality, it's due to stealing other's ideas and inventions. EVERY creation you can name was not created through the means of wanting profit, but because people longed to invent and better people's lives.

Nobody sneezing or spitting 😂
dont forget, no violence
It will also automatically ask for a 20% tip. It's such an upbeat story about everything getting so expensive that they have to automate so they can still have the same number of people working making the new minimum wage. That makes sense. I wonder if these news readers will have the same attitude when AI replaces them or when the next round of layoffs hits. This story was written by AI? I had no idea. It was as if a human wrote it. Journalists laid off and no one noticed.
A version of what you say is true, but it's been true for centuries every time a new technology is introduced. Civilizations adapt and adjust to the new normal and new opportunities, too.
News readers are next!
Jobs that are pure repetition are first to go.
you dont have to pay tips. duh
Yeah, but the tip isn't going into a hard-working high schooler's pocket, or a college student trying to pay off their loans. It's going straight into the business owner's pocket, along with what would've been an employee's wage. It's just another greedy move by a business trying to move into a house with one extra bedroom.
We are so LUCKY, I can't wait till it's NATIONWIDE! No more worrying about someone spitting on my food or not washing their hands!
I am ok with this and hope it works. I am tired of my fries being inconsistent. They never taste the same. A machine will give more quality control.
"you can't get enough people to work" = "we don't pay enough"
Can't compete with the government handouts paying people not to work
Hence robots. Enjoy living on the street 😂
These types of jobs were never designed to be living wage careers.
And then they complain when we make them pay more.. "oh we're gonna use robots now".. Don't believe that lie. They were always going to eventually use robots, once the tech got good enough to do it.
Because if they charge more money then nobody will buy it. It’s basic economics. You can’t pay someone more than what they’re producing

Are you under the impression the fry cooks at mconalds are using their hands as baskets instead of metal ones? because the robot doesnt touch the food.

Yup. AI : Pull forward, you are interfering with my stats and quotas . Your face has been recorded. You are banned from this store. Have a nice day.
People will blame raising the minimum wage, but they were always going to seek to have "bots" replace those jobs eventually. If robotic AI can replace a job, it will. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, pharmacists, etc... - these jobs and more are destined to face AI replacement.
I guess they can replace the customers with robots too because we'll all be un-employed. Last news headline "Human race goes extinct and replaces itself with robots"
AI in the judiciary would be a good start.
@@mibz1117 That's nonsense. In fact, half of it had no point at all.
Exactly, it wouldn't matter if minimum wage were $5. Once the kinks get worked out, automation like this will be cheaper than a full human staff.
I don't think AI is going to replace doctors or lawyers..... It will only be certain jobs
But only if Americans "buy into it" / just don't buy into it
If your dream job as a human is to make a French fries all day, you should be replaced by a robot.
I don't think it's anyone's dream job, rather just a means to make ends meet
Every job in society is important

Its a shame that we equate humans value off of the amount of wealth we can extract from their labors.
You will always know when an ai makes your food because the fries will have extra fingers.

Yes
4 burgers for the price of 1 of theirs.
Thank you! Go buy a meat log, make the patties yourself, cook the patties yourself, and enjoy and all it will cost you will be like around $30.
you would be surprised how many places have facial recognition. Every time you go out in public, you have had facial recognition and never know it.
I live out in the boondocks where people actually speak face to face and use cash at the stores with human cashiers. Our stores have NOTHING locked up but cigarettes and the like. Luckily, we haven't seen too much of Skynet's bid for control of EARTH. When AI takes Appalachia, I'll be worried. My phone has biometrics and an AI camera like everyone else's, but that's it. we have cookouts for a reason. @@dribeker
So every minute the AI goes down is incredible amounts of money.
At least they don't have to worry about DEI...
Yes but robots don't call in sick which cost employers money. they also don't have to pay workman's comp or have any Health Insurance. Employers have to match social security funds also... So they will be actually saving a lot of money...
In California a fast food worker is going to cost the business around $55k a year this year, so if you can fire 3 people at the cost of $30k a year for one robot, I don't think it going down for an hour or two a couple times a year is going to matter.
AI doesn't work like that.
@@wlonsdale1 You are confusing Computer Vision with AI.
Some people don't know difference between AI and just a Machine Learning
No food has to be made with love
And in the world of fast food, it often isn't. Sometimes it's made with spite.
Better have backups to every software and hardware related item. One piece goes down and the entire operation grinds to a halt...
Good way to make consumers spend less. Not only does everything cost more already, but now there is less income for that community to spend. That’s a burning bridge. If people aren’t earning, they aren’t to to start spending more. Also, if the human labor cost is no longer an issue, then why wouldn’t that be reflected in the cost?
Its amazing how its not even an option for the shareholders to even think about taking less. Its either pass it off to the customer or try and get robots to do it cheaper.
Prices will be even more you need higher skilled people to fix it than to flip a burger
Really? Can’t find workers? haha. Doubtful
They just don't wanna pay their workers a living wage
They all left California 😂
Working at fastfood is a miserable existence, I could imagine it being hard to find enough people willing to suffer for it
white castle claims they cannot get people to run the fryers in the summer months so that is 1 reason why they have been installing mr. flippy since around 2022 without telling the public.

T800 approaches.
It has officially began
Citizen 2030: “So, how did all our freedoms get taken away?”
Citizen 2024: “People wanted to use facial recognition to buy cheeseburgers faster and easier…”
And to think, I always thought it would be people choosing to vote Republican that would end democracy, but nope, it’s the evil robots making food that’ll do it. I guess in 2030 we’ll be reminiscing about the days when we had human sweat and saliva in our burgers.
Not a joke: In certain fancy places in China, they have machines to scan your face to issue toilet paper. This is a measure to eliminate toilet paper theft and to increase surveillance.
That's not how facial recognition works. I mean hell, if you use any device that has a camera on it, it has the ability to scan your face already. Add in every electronic device you signed up to use where the contract literally states you give up your right to privacy and give companies the right to track you, and you're willingly handing all that over. The thing is, it's not to "take away freedom", it's all so they can better sell you stuff that they subconsciously implanted into you through marketing strategies and utilizing your search history to better sell you stuff. They don't want you locked up, because it means less money in their pockets.
Very true. A guy was arrested because facial recognition software claimed he was a suspect in a string of thefts, when he wasn’t even there! Then, he was raped and beat up in jail!
Dude, every electronic device out there with a CPU or ARM chip is tracking you, which is pretty much 90+% of the devices nowadays. It goes far beyond your cell phone and computer.

BTW, Fast food companies were well aware of the wage increase, so looked into kiosks to replace workers. Turns out that not only did kiosks reduce the number of workers, but also customers ordered more. Good work, CA.
As a business owner...I may look at investing in this business!
Westlake in Daily City had a restaurant that had an AI making burgers. They got closed after a couple months because it wasn’t really getting customers after the novelty wore off
Interesting
It's not that you can't find workers. You just dont want to pay them a living wage. And the state gov doesn't wanna do anything about it.
Every time the state government raises the wage, prices rise higher and the new wage is lower than the previous wage. It is a scam
very true... on the flipside a lot of people are either not willing or can't pay the higher price that a living wage would cause on the product price... but "hey-ho" that's the cost of living in the 'land of the free'...
What is a living wage for a job that was intended for teenagers. What is a living wage for a long gone dollar menu so that people could actually afford that poisonous crap. How can a small business survive non competitive wage increases. Is anyone home inside that peanut brain. Lol
The higher minimum wage is the higher the cost of living is.
living wage is earned. Most are lazy and surly. As noted, salary was not meant to be supporting a whole family
Seriously, I'd perfer this over people. No tipping (not that i dont like tipping), less human error, and less pubes in my food lol😂
Finishing touches should be done by robots too. There should already be a completely autonomous restaurant working 24/7 without workers
People wonder why it’s so much loneliness. Going to be a disconnected society soon
Already is you walk into a restaurant with the family of five and everyone of them is looking at their phone , and not having any conversations.
@@athenaparish72none of that is normal
If they start asking where they could find John Connor, the restaurant is toast
This is what happens when people demand such a high minimum wage for just working at fast food. There's a reason why Big Macs in California are so expensive. This is what's going to happen where robots will just replace humans because they're less difficult to deal with and they don't ask for insane pay for fast food
Still need people to do maintenance and restock ingredients.
At first I thought it was because they couldn't afford to pay $20 employees to flip burgers but $8 for a cheeseburger? This is corporate greed at its finest. They will save money by not paying employees but still sell their products like if they had employees.
of course, its all a lie when they say they have to increase prices due to min wage increasing. All the while the CEO buys multiple yachts and homes and constantly brags about it, welcome to your world.
Dude, this is merely an advertisement for that arm. You might want to look deeper into this then what the news feeds ya.
@@ImmortalDraylowell two things can be true at once. I think it is kind of stupid that fast food workers are asking for obscenes amounts of minimum wage. But I also do think it is corporate greed as well when food isn't being adjusted after they implemented the robots
@ThePackman627 they do what they can get away with. Normally competitors drive the profit margin down.
Why aren't they? That's the real question.
thats so great, finally you can buy a burger and fries without worrying about the guy in the drive through window making love to it before he hands it to you
What the hell kind of restaurants are in your town? Red State, amirite?
@@charleshamilton9274 yes, cause they only have fast food restaurants with drive through windows in red states
I've worked in many restaurants and have never seen any such thing
Paying no people to work means more money in the hands of a few. This is dangerous for society.
Reality is the profits from a slower performing restaurant will not be able to pay for updates, repairs, and maintenance on the machines and hardware. Plus if one machine goes down it screws up the entire restaurant.
They really said we not paying no one 20 a hour lol
Every interview for A.I. and robots is from Investors, Owners, and Customers. And how cute it is by Reporter.
People alergic to tomato cannot ask AI to not have tomato. That will invite a lawsuit.
I guess this will pretty much address the wage issues facing the fast-food industry in California. The Legislators have to come up with new ideas how to drive away small businesses in California now.
Good now the food should cost $2.99
In your dreams
I sure hope so
It should but it won’t the ceo will still charge you the same price and be 1000x your net worth
So close to frozen pizza served from the microwave. Only a 20% tip makes the difference and tells you that you are not at home.
Understaffed on purpose. The leaner the force means better bonuses for those in charge. It’s a main staple for management to make the workforce suffer for their bonuses.
look if you can stop paying employees to flip burgers the food should be way cheaper . bring back the dollar menu prix . other than the this is a good idea
The robots will never spit in my food so I'm all for it
You must be a person that never give tip
@@greekartvlog8712 We don't tip in my country because food workers are paid a living wage (unless the service was top notch and I want to tip).
I still shouldn't have to tip just to have my food not contaminated.
I'm all for robots in that case
How often does this happen that you're complaining online about it? Sounds like you're the problem if every establishment you enter you're causing problems 🤣
The startup costs for restaurant like this must be insane. How expensive are the burger flipping robots?
EDIT: on second thought the restaurant probably leases or rents the robots.
Initially it was in the tens of thousands, but to make it more affordable in the QSR world, there is a monthly fee which includes all updates in maintenance. I believe it's roughly about $3,000 a month. I am a shareholder as well.
You mean you just don't want to pay them?That's why you would rather not pay them and take that money and put it in your
A fry cook isn't a dangerous job it's only dangerous when you don't know what you're doing
