I've worked in a factory with automation, it's a lot faster than any human, but it will make mistakes. Plus, if it's not noticed it will make the same mistake repeatedly, bc computers do that after running the same line of code 5000ish times a day.
Jokes on the customer: there is nobody to issue a refund, and zero quality control. These two in the video are shit out of luck most likely since that hot dog stand is undoubtedly owned by a vendor renting a spot and not the place they are standing in.
The shop they are standing in is part of a huge franchise and the machine would certainly be owned by the franchisor. I actually had pretty positive experiences dealing with their corporate even if their business model is rather exploitatory.
It can be faster than a human but isn’t flexible enough and these kinds of machines will require frequent maintenance.
Aka, a truckstop or gas station would need like 10 different machines for 100k-500k combined, requiring frequent maintenance and taking up absurd amount of space to do the work of two dudes out of high school.
I am sorry, this will most likely never take the place of real workers in fast food any time soon.
This kind of machine? Hell no it won't. I am referring to ones that the other guy i replied to is talking about. Machines made to be very fast and dont get tired of working. You are right tho, they require maintenance and attention. Which is why alot of automation doesn't really replace people, just makes their job easier (except that it requires fewer facilities, so fewer jobs that way)

a human could have done that correctly in a sixth of the time wasted
