The touch screen ordering has been around for over a decade. It’s more accurate and can use different languages. It only required a person to make the sandwich, and we are at the point where that can now be done when it becomes economically feasible. And the democrats are hastening that time by raising the human cost in a process, thereby cutting jobs for low skilled workers.

The touch screen ordering has been around for over a decade

I did some independent consulting for several dinner theaters back in the late 80's/early 90's and they were using touch screens with wifi back then. The waiters/waitress' used thhem to place orders at tableside, the order would print in the kitchen where it would be filled by kitchen staff who then paged the waiter/waitress back to the kitchen via the touch screen device when the order was ready.

I helped implement several of those systems, IIRC the company name of the vended software and hardware solution was Squirrel Systems. It's been over 20 years so I may not remember the vendor's name correctly.

In my Chili's restaurant reference above, that was the first time I'd seen a device at tableside on each table with customers placing their own orders. (They were wif iPads btw with customized application software.)
