Robots are so much high maintenance than just touch panels and voice rec. Thus while it is a good idea the hurtles are much higher to get a positive ROI.

- giancarlostoro 7y agoTouch panels seem to be way better than trying to figure out how to speak in "Robot English" instead of just pushing buttons that do what you mean (mostly) without fail. Also some people who take your order are rude and make whats just supposed to be a convenient grab for food into an awful experience.
- cm2187 7y agoSeems to be easily solvable with an app on your phone, you order as you queue and by the time you reach the counter you already paid.
- InitialLastName 7y agoGiven that this is a drivethrough we're discussing, I'd love to not have more things to encourage people to use their phones while operating heavy machinery.
- giancarlostoro 7y agoThe way some of these places do it is you park at a pick up spot (I remember Chick-fil-a doing this). So you order before you go pick up the food. Usually while at a grocery store, or have a friend order for you.
- delfinom 7y agoAs a guy that maintains robots at a factory. They are literally a 1 hour side task once a month. The robot arms basically only needed a rebuild once in 15 years. The tooling is the only thing that goes bad and needs replacing every month and it's designed such that only a small part of the tooling needs replacement.
- andrewnc 7y agoDo you have some contact information? I'd love to ask a few questions about this.
- contingencies 7y agoAs a guy buying robots for a factory right now I have heard many stories like this. Including some robot arms operating for over 22 years with minimal maintenance. Incidentally, I am building a factory to build food robots!
