I believe in Italy they have vending machines that make pizza from scratch, this company isn’t exactly ground breaking.

Part of the joy I get from dining out is speaking with the hopefully pleasant, attentive and polite waitstaff about the menu, the restaurant, or the day in general.
It’s more than just a data dump which ends in a hot meal on the table. Good employees add to the ambiance. This realization may take a while, a few years perhaps, but smarter restaurants and other small businesses will find a way to maintain their humanity while improving their efficiency.
the term “hot pie” was the term we used growing up in the Southern Tier of NYS....it was advertised that way and that’s the way most people who wanted a “pizza” would order it...
oops wrong machine. This is the machine that makes the dough, kneads it, let’s you select the toppings etc.

That is contradictory. They say that the dough is made by hand, but that the only part of the pizza requiring a human touch is the toppings.
I live on the road in the South and try to hit a Cracker Barrel or Waffle House breakfast 2-3 times a week.
I get in early, usually around 6-7am. The people I meet are great. The servers especially are very nice and love to talk.
They will make any breakfast you want. The Menu is just a guide to what they offer.
Beats $15 minimum wage... /sarc
The dough could be *created* by hand but then spun and molded into a pizza shape by a robot. IOW, somebody has to make the dough for the robot to manipulate into a pizza.
Lifelong bachelor who eats out nearly everyday. I don't get a kiss at the door and a "have a good day" or a smile and a "how was your day?" on return. Instead, I have my favorite places to eat and favorite waitresses to see that give me a somewhat similar experience. Nothing like a pretty waitress with a warm hug and a little back scratch to send me on my way. I tip them well and they can't wait to see me come through the door. No robot can replace that.
My 3 roombas are named Hose A, Hose B and Hose C. My Robotic lawnmower is named C*nts way low. My Scooba is named Pepee. (Leaves a wet floor)
Dont get robots. Battery replacement is damned expensive.
Love em both
When I was at Domino’s, making a large pepperoni under 30 seconds was the standard. I could usually do it in about 21 or so.
The market will always seek innovative ways to lessen the impact of rising wage costs. There will be fewer and fewer jobs for students and unskilled workers.
That’s all well and good, but are they going to pay these robots a ‘living wage’?
Man, you sure have some romantic ideas about marriage! LOL
Me and the missus will celebrate 22 years together next week. I couldn't ask for a better wife, but she's never been one to dote like that. But boy, can she make a mean breakfast.
They’re not gonna need a pizza evey nine seconds when nobody has a job.
“Part of the joy I get from dining out is speaking with the hopefully pleasant, attentive and polite waitstaff about the menu, the restaurant, or the day in general.”
Not me! I could gladly do without the hoping for a bigger tip, suck-up routine.
Ate at Red Lobster yesterday. The “server” gave my meal to the wife and vice versa. Except after switching them to the right people, my wife had my asparagus and her rice was still in the kitchen.
It was dead, there were hardly any customers in the place. He did suck up enough for my wife to still leave him a decent tip. YES, my wife pays! After all she has the money.
