The Future of Fast Food: Will McDonald's Replace Workers with Robots?

McDonald's has been a staple in the fast-food industry for decades, known for its quick and convenient service. However, the fast-food giant has taken a bold step forward with its newest location in Texas, which is entirely automated and run by robots instead of workers. Questions have been raised about the future of the industry and the potential consequences of such a drastic move toward automation. In this video, we'll explore the pros and cons of McDonald's new fully automated location and discuss whether this trend is something we should embrace or be wary of.

[@nunyabidnis5407]

If they could make rude robots that mess up 30% of the orders it would be like old times.

[@davidvincent1093]

I started to post the same answer as yours

[@txryder79]

Things are NO different today. In fact I think it's worse now. Not to mention much slower service.

[@user-qp5jk9ur3v]

Yeah afterwards it laughs an say my bad homie an give you a one arm hug..

[@davidbranch1077]

Yes, no more angry employees

[@frostqueenmag91]

What about computer viruses? Mantainance issues?

[@nishanttomar7826]

​@@frostqueenmag91the whole computer costs 1000 dollars 😂😂and it easily lasts 5 years or upto 10 years

[@johnnymcneal5914]

The only upside to this is the no longer have anybody to scream at or threatened with firing don't get their way

[@MisteryMan2000]

I'm all for it. They will still need humans to clean the tables, empty the garbage, scrub the toilets, etc., but all food will handled by robots. I love it!

[@emilypatterson4479]

Can make an auto potty brush, can make an arm to swipe and wipe the tables. Down to one employee per store. So, uh, hundreds of thousands of people out of a job, increasing poverty and homelessness. This is awesome. Wait, with fewer people having an income, who will be able to buy their food? Sales go down so prices go up to maintain profits. Since McFood is a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Index, they must maintain and increase their profit to give the illusion that the economy is good. Is only good for the billionaires that profit from putting humans out of work. What a great thing, eh?

[@jqn8361]

I’m pretty sure robots will eventually take care of that too

[@everioke]

You can thank $20 an hour fast food workers in California for this innovation.

[@baruchbenyaakov]

Great idea. They can cut their prices by 50% since they no longer will have to pay salaries, payroll taxes or fringe benefits.

[@tomperkins5657]

Harrr, when pigs fly.

[@LivingLyfelikeaMuffin]

They will not cut prices back. Once prices go up, they never come down.

[@Native722]

@@LivingLyfelikeaMuffin Or at least prevent prices from going up too much in the future.

[@rexporube6778]

They won't cutt the prices. All that is going to happen is these greedy people going to get wealthier. Please learn from the family owned in and out they take care of there workers and don't raise prices like McDonald's ext

[@user-nm7nd6wv4o]

Boycott Mcdonald and don't waste your money on fast food watch how fast prices down

[@au9parsec]

Bender from Futurama is one of the employees at the fully automated McDonald's in Texas 🤣

[@josephdavis1087]

maybe burger king wont always make me throw up or get severly sick and i dont get sick easily

[@kaleoy7584]

Pretty soon, green backs (paper currency) and coins will longer be used. People will only be able to pay with cards. And if all McDonald's go robotic, the only workers that will keep their jobs will be the cleaning crew.

[@Ronniejamesleo]

That's what robo Bob does best.

[@paulgreen5713]

I grew up on McDonald's. I would never frequent a totally automated restaurant. They will come and go, just like the self check out line. Screw large corporations with junk food. 😒

[@rickyramos9854]

In loving memory of the METOO Movement.

[@user-vx5bu8tr5y]

The selling point for 100% automated robotics fast food restaurants is the significant reduced risks of deliberate criminal human tampering of food, or accidental tampering of food that result in food poisoning, loss of foetus for pregnant women and deaths.

[@OCJoker2009]

Freakin awesome! this is SO the future!

[@glencody9946]

What does one expect when employers are having a hard time hiring and keeping employees? Throw in many employees acting like they are doing world a favor by showing up to work. Then you have states like Cal. pricing those employed out of work by forcing business to pay higher and higher wages that raises the cost of food. Something has to give.... No place will be 100% run by robots. There will always be those who oversee and repair those robots. A number of the jobs loss to robots will just be shifted into new fields.

[@user-dx6jo1cm9c]

so.... The Mexicans have to return to Mexico, and the rest of us citizens will be repairing and maintaining the robots, for 100K a year? I like it!

[@edsherrod5216]

Just wait until a Friday nite or a bus pulls on the lot. Who cleans the bathrooms which always get trashed out as well as the lobby when the customers are gone? Who performs daily maintenance? And who receives shipments? It looks good until you do some research.

[@johnnymcneal5914]

The only upside I see for these automated restaurants would be that if Karen were to come in they would no longer have anybody to yell at if something goes wrong😢

[@frostqueenmag91]

The normal and ethical thing to do would be to pay entry level workers fairly and acknowledge their rights, but nooo. SMH.

[@deliriousdj36]

Not fully automated when you still need workers attending the machines. There were people in the back.

[@tudo290]

Definitely help with labor shortages.

[@ronaldgundrum2174]

All clean and sanitary to make the food.

[@Cerulean0987]

Betchya with the money saved on labor does not result in lower prices.

[@txryder79]

Well, of course not. The money saved on labor will be spent on equipment costs and then repair & maintenance. Once annual labor costs reach a certain point that making the decision to automate becomes a LATERAL move, the decision will be made to move forward, like we are seeing here. Also effecting the decision will be no more call outs, disgruntled employees, inefficient employees, rude or indifferent employees and let's not forget medical claims. So, costs will be similar and so prices will not go down. Now, If the whole "living wage" argument for no skill jobs was never implemented. We'd all be enjoying our $6 meals and there wouldn't be millions of no skill jobs about to be axed in the next 5 or 10 years.

[@tairdudeusa7981]

It will be boarded up in no time at all. Just like with electrical vehicles the American public is not even going to deal with it, business better learn not to try to control us. I'll turn around and walk out. I already have not entered a McDonald's in 2 years now, I also will not go through Checkers drive-thru with automated systems. If these corporations intend on staying in business, I suggest that they stop their foolishness now! In the past two years I have found a lot of different alternatives to fast food restaurants.

[@juansrtarin9286]

It work just fine here I'm Texas And the food is excellent no Problem The employee all give or salt fris And smash Hamburger Love adomated MC DONALD FOOD IS NICE AND HOT Not cold like the McDonald restaurant in California

[@workstationmark4103]

It's evolution you can't stop it

[@BravePitt69]

This is a great idea considering GenZ’s coming… complete the sentence if you want!

[@williambudd2850]

I really don’t care how many robots they put in, I am not going to go there, or spend time there, or spend my money there!!! They are history.

[@marcvslicinivscrassvs7536]

They won't uograde the ice cream machine though

[@watcherzero000]

Enjoy that oil that leaks from the robots arm on your food. Lol

[@ursulasmith6402]

May as well, no one wants to work there anyway.

[@PAPITO_49]

Yes😂 I first notice this change in 2018 when I was in Spain 🇪🇸, good. When you open your order at a MAC. it looks like garbage, maybe now it will look appetizing, besides this I’ve seen them in the restrooms and the employees don’t wash. At least the robots will be hygienic, do they pee?

[@Discobaby988]

I love the concept. No bad tempered, uneducated, nasty attitude, employees the customers can yell at, and threaten, because the shake machine is out of order, AGAIN! 😅

[@williambudd2850]

No thanks! Not a chance. Robots or no robots, the high prices have got to go!

[@user-xj2jj2us3l]

I assume that a robot will wipe your ass when you go to use the toilet.

[@ItsaboutMakingnotBuying]

No one is talking about the lost tax dollars from the workers that lost their jobs. The city will have to raise taxes to make up for the lost.

[@PAPITO_49]

The government will research a way to come up with taxing the robots, both the city, this county, the state and the federal government. The first one that comes up with the best way to text him will get $1 million bonus from the government.

[@johnwarthan2675]

It all sounds great but wait when the power goes out what do you do then or a module goes out and it causes the arms to go all over the place which ends up catch up on the wall on the floor and so forth good luck

[@tomperkins5657]

Maybe there would be a generator backup, working long enough to complete orders.

[@jameswoffinden9215]

If the electricity goes out, the cash registers would not work at any location anyway.

[@Luxury_LifeYT]

Do you think the use of robots in the fast food industry will create more jobs, or remove them? Let us know in the comments below 😄👇

[@scottfranco1962]

"player piano" a book by Kurt Vonnegut. This is what happens with continually increasing the minimum wage, ya'll.

[@johnmcguire7435]

They have no other option for keeping the price lower 4 them n staying in business like California were McDonalds employees ger $20 n houe n a big Mac is $18 with fries people arn't gonna pay that n will cook at home n I think this is a good idea 4 them to stay in business 😮

[@kevinsweeney2979]

So now a big mac meal will be 20?

[@markhaskins1208]

If somebody hadn't stiffed Skynet Terminator would have never been created.

[@mgentile7]

unfortunately the automated restaurant is not 100% automated.

[@christopherpowell22]

Is the robots going to unload the trucks? Clean up all equipment? Fuck McDonald's.

[@lurix7914]

THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW THE FACTORY MUST GROW

[@77magakill]

I will not go to a restaurant that is taking away from people's jobs, I will just cook or make something from home. This is the huge problem with the way America is going!! Why are we wanting to take away from our Citizens jobs? Are you okay with this? I for one will not go to a fully AI restaurant!! Period!!

[@AAa-qd8hb]

F McDonald's. No no no no no no.

[@markrich7693]

I am hungry and agree to this video I’ll have a Big Mac fries. and a chocolate shake as on the double please one my google account

[@eddiecuevas5518]

I want to talk to a person

[@MetaGPT]

I can work for less than automated robot. Are you hiring..

[@Diponty]

AI say no! You can't work 24/7

[@frontcentermusician]

Yuck. Not going to touch that screen.

[@markhaskins1208]

But humans are still making the food

[@Ronniejamesleo]

Be all prepackaged. Just heat n serve.

[@EmoGdSprt]

The Asian man encountered 3 humans!

[@gregorysteele718]

THIS FOOD IS NO GOOD FOR YOU !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@RonSouth]

It’s a scam! In 2012 McDonalds in Australia paid their workers 16 American dollars an hour. The combos were about even with American prices. Today in Indonesia with a fully staffed store they sell a Big Mac combo for $4.50 American dollars. The workers are paid a living wage. $20 dollars an hour is very low for California. They charge $16.00 for Big Mac combo. What a scam! Indonesia and Australia use 100% Australian beef which is much better than American beef. What’s the beef McDonalds? We’re onto your scam!

[@krog44]

A horrible idea

[@christo2974]

I don't eat @ fast food restaurants so I don't care.
