Speaking purely about food service roles, as I recall, the minimum wage for tipped food services roles in some places is 2.13 USD per hour, made up to actual minimum wage if tipping doesn't reach that level. Labour costs are, in many cases, really small; the capital and running costs of automation could well be comparable already.
