Do those Indians know that a Jumbo Jack is made from ground-up “sacred cow”?
It should be a real hoot trying to tell “Peggy” that you don’t want pickles on your Whopper. LOL!
Was just thinking last night why fast food still takes orders at the counter. Why not by app...like Chipotle, Five Guys, etc. There’s no reason to wait. Either order for inside and wait for your order, or drive through and use location-based at the order window to check in and they’ll have your order ready.
Vocelli Pizza based here in Pittsburgh did this twenty years ago.
McDonalds has been doing that for many years. I no longer eat there because they support abortion, but I remember the voice crackling on the order box.
McDonalds has been doing this for a while. And they are in North Dakota.
I remember once going into a Jack In The Box in northern Arizona just before Christmas when there was a raging blizzard going on outside. All of the employees were wearing parkas. You could see your breath inside. I asked them why they just didnt’ turn up the heat. They told me that the thermostat was controlled by somebody in Los Angeles. Probably a DemocRAT.
I wonder what hearing impaired people do when they have to speak to a crackling voice.
I bet in places like North Dakota where getting enough help is next to impossible the owners are taking notice.
How many in Seattle will switch now I wonder as well, direct savings compared to what minimum wage will be has to add up to some serious coin after a couple of years.
(On a side note can you imagine trying to get an order right when the call center is located in India and the drive through in downtown Detroit?)
Well at least at the call centers, they’ll speak English.
Within 15 years, fast food restaurants will be totally automated, from order taking and payment tender, to food processing and serving of the ordered product. Grocery stores will fully automate as well, but this is 25-30 years down the road.
Now switch to automated burger flipper machines and they’ll have it.
So I guess those $15 an hour employees won’t be needed.
Some fast food restaurants have been doing this for years.
Maybe as far as Australia for those kangaroo burgers.
The technology is intended to improve speed, accuracy and service, freeing up (NON-ENGLISH SPEAKING) restaurant employees
Wonderful, as if that crackling voice was hard enough to understand, soon it will be English as a second (or third) language...
How many of the people taking orders will be doing that concurrent with their IT desk jobs for America?
How long until they complain about having to take offensive orders for sacred cow meat all day?
