Could a McDonald's Restaurant be automated ?

Asked by flutherother (34547points) April 1st, 2013

They are already quite soulless places. Why not go the whole way and replace the serving staff with push button ordering machines. The size of the chips, the heat of the cooking fat and the cooking time are all precisely controlled. Why involve people behind the scenes? Why not text an order before arriving at the restaurant so it is ready for collection when you arrive? Is this possible, or desirable?
