I’m guessing turnover in a pizzeria is very high. Robots don’t quit or show up late or get sick. But yeah, you have a great point.

- bsder 6y agoThen double their salary and suddenly you will have people who want to show up for work. You can pay a lot of $20 per hour while working out your bugs before a $50,000 robot would have been cheaper. And, in the meantime, you are still making money. Cash flow is good.
- PhantomGremlin 6y agoIf anyone is interested, I tracked down the video where the ABB robot arm moves the pizza about 2 ft between stations. It's a short video, just over 1 min, but you will have to sit thru an ad: https://mashable.com/2018/04/25/zume-pizza-robot-delivery-trucks/ https://mashable.com/2018/04/25/zume-pizza-robot-delivery-tr... It's no coincidence that the Zume Wikipedia page says "Zume announced that it was ending pizza production". Edit: found somewhere a headline which explains the source of the dumb money financing Zume. Now it all makes sense: Softbank-backed Zume to shutter robotic pizza business
