Not necessarily. Enough robots in the place to have redundancy if one goes down so production can still happen, shouldn't require 3 technicians on site for normal maintenance and dealing with anything that might come up. Compare having 2 techs on site during a business day to cover both shifts, allowing for things to occur while they're otherwise on a break, and you've got 1 person replacing an entire shift's worth of staff(and don't forget the payroll taxes and other overhead for those other employees even if it doesn't include proper benefits). That stupid cosmc shit that mcdonalds is doing? It's going to be a test bed for this stuff. This is all especially true when you consider areas with $18-20 as a minimum wage for flipping fucking burgers.Well, no, retard.
You’d have to hire multiple mechanics on site, which is a skilled trade as opposed to having some kid in the back flipping burgers. You have 3 people at a time making sure these things work and you’d easily exceed a manual workforce.
That Flippy shit has been around for years now and hasn't gone anywhere, and I doubt it ever will. mcdonald's will be investing in their own shit, they've got the money to do it. Give it some time and I'm sure a pizza place will figure out a way to replace employees in a chain pizza place with a conveyor that dispenses toppings as it rolls through an oven(basically a miniature version of frozen pizza production) and somehow keep it economical eventually(assuming they can keep this in place long enough to amortize the cost of the installation to begin with.As to Jack's robo-restaurant, Flippy is a giant, expensive piece of shit, and I resent that I keep getting "invited" to invest in it. Fuck that job destroying robot, and the people behind it.
