Cashier-less has been around for a long time. While im not a fan of starbux or amazon, the article clearly states it will be staffed as normal (which I read as perpetually understaffed in the first place). Either way, even with the robotic fry cook they mention ... someone still has to build, maintain, and manage the device.
- 999900000999 5y agoStaffed as normal for now. I can imagine a seatless Starbucks without bathrooms and only a single barista assisted by a coffee making Robot. It'll be here by 2030
- thghtihadanacct 5y agoWe have those already too ... at least around the west coast. There are plenty of drive-by coffee kiosks that only fit a single employee in the first place. These could never keep up with the foot traffic of a big city corner but I have seen them in lots of places off hwy 1 and 101. Still, if maximum employee occupancy is one then its going to be hard to understaff.
