A robot will be serving food to thousands of guests at next month's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.

Seattle-based Picnic says its automated food assembly system will produce up to 300 12-inch customized pizzas an hour on the CES show floor.

12-inch. Meh. That’s not a pizza, that’s a tart.

1 pie every 12 seconds. Sucks to be a Berniebot.

Good pizza is not made by robots. But being good pizza isn’t the point for sure. Millenials are ready for soylent green, I’m convinced.

My favorite pizza is by Jets.......I have a friend who owns two franchises and he said all their ingredients are fresh daily as is the pizza dough provided by some bakery.

I judge a pizza by how it tastes the next day and day after when heated. Dominoes and Little Ceasars taste like cardboard........

300 an hour? Ha, that's nothing...

When I eat at a restaurant, I’d prefer to see and hear other people. I don’t necessarily want to see and hear machines whirring and beeping around the tables. Seems very artificial and sterile.

Now, if I ran a food packaging business, cooking, assembling and packaging massive orders of pizzas, say or a Catered Event, then yes, I could use one of those Robots.

The menu at McDonalds in the early day was simple. Hamburger, Cheeseburger, Fries, soda and Milk Shakes.

Every one of those items can be made by machines.

I can see a small Kiosk in a parking lot. No sit down service, no counter service. You walk up to a window, swipe your credit card and then using a touch screen select your order. The order will then sent to a window for pickup.

The only employee would be someone to restock and clean up. Everything else automated.

This is what you get with $15 hour minimum wage and employee too stupid to not insult the customer.

People don’t go to fast food for good food. They want basic stuff fast (and cheap)

A pizza every 12 seconds. You know -that’s- gonna be some good pizza!

When I go to a restaurant, I want to eat something because I am too lazy or unable to cook for myself. The added benefit of seeing this engineering feat is bonus?

Isn’t your whole thing in your post just a scene from Idiocracy?

I for one welcome our new artificially intelligent pizza making pleasure bot overlords.

“A pizza every 12 seconds”

How do you handle a customer every 12 seconds?

[smvoice]

...so the casting of dispersions will no longer be "DOUGH BOY" but "DOUGH BOT"?? 🤖 🍕

[SanchoP]

I for one welcome our new artificially intelligent pizza making pleasure bot overlords. -------- only if it has a "spit in your food" option.

[PGR88]

Yeah, but can they spit in it if they don’t like you?

[wally_bert]

As long as there is a gluten free option.
