$6 is a lot for a fast food burger. I can get a really good burger at dozens of places for less and isn't made by a machine.

- overcast 8y agoI mean a Wendy's double is $5, $3 is just crazy cheap.
- dummyvariable 8y agoEven though this is a fast food, its more customizable, more of a "Counter" burger IMHO.
- lern_too_spel 8y agoIt looks like a high quality burger made fast.
- greedo 8y ago5 minutes isn't fast when there's 20 people in line ahead of you.
- lern_too_spel 8y agoPresumably, the restaurant will be able to make more than one burger at the same time, just like other restaurants. The point is that it's faster than a burger at a specialty burger restaurant, like Red Robin.
- greedo 8y agoUnless they speed up the machine (possible with future versions) or add multiple machines (which increases the required retail space as well as capital expenditures), they're limited by the robot's 5 min throughput. Serially cooking is no way to run a restaurant. A grill at Red Robin operates in parallel and can easily beat this thing at throughput.
- lern_too_spel 8y ago> they're limited by the robot's 5 min throughput 5 minutes is latency. The article says nothing about throughput, but the video shows multiple burgers pipelined on the machine's conveyors.
- HeyLaughingBoy 8y agoI hope the beef's better than the crap at Red Robin!
- acchow 8y ago> I can get a really good burger at dozens of places for less This place is in San Francisco. Where are these "dozens of places" for a really good burger <$6?
- tschwimmer 8y agoSuper duper has a 4 oz burger that’s 5.75, and is widely acclaimed.
- acchow 8y agoI really like Super Duper. But where are the "dozens" of places?
- optimuspaul 8y agowell there you go, proving my point. So not only is the buyer $6 I have to go all the way to San Francisco to get it. I will pass on that.
