These are in most McDonalds' locations (that I've been to) in Australia. They work just fine.
And yes, they came about because Australia has the world's highest minimum wage at ~AU$18/hr. (currently ~US$13/hr)
The Left: solving poverty by making it illegal.
Logical outcome.
I hate kiosk food.
They’ll not get any orders from me.
Inevitable.
If only someone could have foreseen this! /s
Saw this coming.
Love the kiosks!
Of course. Why wouldn’t they?
It is just a matter of time before the drive through windows have voice recognition software and machines to accept the cash and deliver the food.
The value of human labor in these types of jobs is going down.
Bet they will be like my ATM machine and open by offering my choice of 39 languages.
I’ll go out of my way to patronize the first one I see.

This is ‘common sense’ in business...you want $15.00 an hour to stand around on your cell phone...fine, you can sweep and mop floors, clean toilets, dump garbage, stock cups, straws, napkins...how about that for $15.00 an hour???
But who will forget to put your fries in the bag before you drive off?
Noe Why did we not see that coming? DUH,,,
Wawa and Sheetz convenience stores in Virginia and elsewhere have used ordering terminals for several years. They work nicely.
It has been said that the laws of economics, like those of physics, “cannot be broken”.
OK so they still need people to cook the order. They need people to deliver the food. They need people to take the money. They need people to mop the floor and restock the drink glasses and clean the restroom. I’m not seeing where there is going to be a huge headcount reduction because of this.
There isn’t an economist on the planet who can’t say: “I told you so.” The only thing these $15/hr idiots won is the right to say: “I’d be making $15/hr...if I had a job.” Stupid...just plain stupid.
