I always notice there are a TON of people working at every In N Out. Like maybe 10 people behind the counter versus 3 at a McDonalds.
Anyone know what's up with that?

- toast0 9y agoMcDonald's has been investing in labor saving (including automation). A robot pours the drinks for the drive thru, they've got the combo ketchup and mustard things; and a lot of the food is prepped off-site. In-N-Out tends to be higher volume than the MacDonald's around me; but they also are cutting potatoes just in time, and hand assembling burgers.
- dawnerd 9y agoI wouldn’t exactly call what McDonald’s has a robot. It’s just a button that turns off the street after so long. Been using them for at least 10 years now too. But I get what you’re saying. They just updated the McDonald’s near me to be primarily touch screen ordering yet somehow they still take forever to essentially assemble pre cooked food. I don’t get it...
- toast0 9y agoThey've got new robots since last year ish; it pulls a cup, puts in ice, and fills with soda. Here's a video: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=akv4vSXa5a4 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=akv4vSXa5a4 In this video, a human is waiting around for it, but what I've seen as a customer is the machine usually runs unsupervised while the drive thru person chases after the food orders.
