Do you pay an engineer to come out and fix your car or copy machine? It's not like paid employees are any cleaner... That's why the ice cream machines are "down

Do you pay an engineer to come out and fix your car or copy machine? It's not like paid employees are any cleaner... That's why the ice cream machines are "down" half the time
- Someone1234 8y ago> It's not like paid employees are any cleaner I wasn't calling engineers less clean. I was saying paying for repairs and maintenance from experts might offset the cost savings (relative to minimum wage, minimum qualified, employees) in the long run. Self-checkout machines seem to work because the technology is simple enough to be reliable enough. In this case you have moving parts, sensors, and food particles on everything.
- blacksmith_tb 8y agoWe don't have quite enough detail, but I wonder how much in the way of sensors it would need if the ingredients were standardized - if every burger weighs 300g, cook them for 130sec per side, etc.
- Someone1234 8y agoHard to do that with vegetables as per here.
- hessenwolf 8y agoBetter for hygiene with a retractable, digital meat thermometer. (that's what she said)
- blacksmith_tb 8y agoDo fast food burger places use meat thermometers? I suppose better kitchens are more likely to, but then they also allow you to order 'rare' or 'well-done' (which sounds like it is v2.0 for the bot).
- workinthehead 8y agoAnecdotal, but I know quite a few chefs and none of them would ever use a meat thermometer, it would be an insult to their well-honed ability to feel the cook.
