McDonald�s opened its first automated restaurant, with machines handling
everything from taking orders to delivering the food � and dividing
opinions everywhere.

"When you step inside the test restaurant concept, you'll notice it's
considerably smaller than a traditional McDonald's restaurant in the
U.S.," McDonald�s said in a statement. "Why? The features�inside and
outside�are geared toward customers who are planning to dine at home or on
the go."

The Fort Worth, Texas, location uses technology to minimize human
interaction when ordering and picking up food. The restaurant features an
"Order Ahead Lane" where customers can receive orders by conveyor belt,
Newsweek reported.

The initiative is part of McDonald�s "Accelerating the Arches" plan, which
works to grow and innovate the customer experience, but not everyone is
pleased with the direction the restaurant chain has chosen.

VIOLATION

TikTok user @foodiemunster shared a video of their experience, which
showed the user going into a small but empty McDonald�s with one kiosk to
order food and a conveyor belt that delivers it when ready.

"Inside the restaurant, there's a delivery pick-up room for couriers to
retrieve orders quickly and conveniently," McDonald�s explained in its
statement. "There are also kiosks, where customers can place their orders
to go, and a pick-up shelf for orders."

"Outside the restaurant, there are several parking spaces dedicated to
curbside order pick-up, as well as designated parking spaces for delivery
drivers."

McDonald's stressed that a restaurant crew will remain to help prepare the
orders, and the removal of tasks such as handling the register and
delivering food to the front or drive-thru lanes will help improve the
team's ability to assemble orders.

"The technology in this restaurant not only allows us to serve our
customers in new, innovative ways, it gives our restaurant team the
ability to concentrate more on order speed and accuracy, which makes the
experience more enjoyable for everyone," explains Keith Vanecek, the
franchisee operating the test restaurant.

"I am immensely proud to have this new restaurant concept serving our
customers in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex."

Social media response indicated people did not universally agree whether
this was a positive or negative change: Some people celebrated the
innovation as a move towards faster and more accurate orders, but others
took a more cynical position and predicted that it would lead to a loss of
"millions of jobs."

"Honestly, if they go through with this I'll just boycott McDonald's.
Their food's mid at best anyway," one user said.

McDonald�s did not respond to a FOX Business request for comment by time
of publication.

It's the logical result of people without any skills wanting more
money for doing high school oriented jobs.

Just as an example, a few White Castle locations are experimenting
with a burger making machine called Flippy.

https://misorobotics.com/flippy-2/

Flippy rents for $3,000 a month.

Given that a White Castle can be open 24 hours a day, that's 720 hours
month. $3,000 / 720 = $4.17 per hour.

No sick days. No coming in late. No "family emergencies." No training.
No benefits. No getting pregnant. No screaming racial epithets at
customers.

The last time I visited a White Castle was when I lived in
suburban Chicago in the early 90's. All of the restaurants were 24
hours at the time. But the use of a robot is still cheaper for the
restaurant.

Some very real benefits.
