How long until the rest of the industry does it?
“Move over human grill cooks, White Castle is teaming up with Miso Robotics to test an automated sous-chef. The aptly named Flippy—an AI-enabled kitchen assistant—is set to join the staff at a Chicago-area burger joint for a trial run that could usher in a new era of robot hash slingers.
Since its unveiling in 2018, Flippy has cooked more than 40,000 pounds of fried food—including 9,000 sandwiches at LA’s Dodger Stadium, the Arizona Diamondbacks’ Chase Field, and two CaliBurger locations, where it works alongside humans to increase productivity and consistency”
Flippy won’t spit in you burger, take long breaks, burn the order, ask for a raise or not show up on time if at all................
In my college days, it was Little Tavern death burgers served up by lady ex-cons with flabby tattoed arms in an aroma of B.O.
Of course, we were drunk when scarffing down our death burgers.
Good times. Good times.
WHITE Castle??? Sounds quite racist and stuff.
I used to frequent a White Castle at 8 Mile and Grand River in Detroit. The entire counter was behind bullet-proof Lexan. You received your order from a lexan Lazy Susan.
(This is not the store, but gives you an idea:)
Soon all fast food stores will look like this, for COVID reasons, not robbery prevention ones.
White Castle? White is racist because “whites” are racist. Castle is racist because everyone knows most castles are from Europe that has mostly “white” people (who, by the way, are racist). So, therefore, we must insist that they rename company to Black Dungeon. /sarc
Give them a built-in firearm to use on some of the nastier customers and we have a winner.
Saturday night and it’s gettin’ late
I’m gettin’ hungry, I just can’t wait
Not just any kind of burger will do
I’m being hit by those
White Castle blues
Frozen sliders with or w/o cheese make perfect snacks. I thin slice a tomato and put that on the cheese. Coat the meat side with mustard and add a thin sliced dill pickle. Wrap that in a piece of paper towel splashed with water pop it in the micro set on beverage warmer time.
Why am I reminded of "Idiocracy"?
same kind of robotic arms used for welding and painting in auto and other factories, just smaller ...
A robot??? But I thought they cooked those things by sticking them under the steamy armpits of a 600lb illegal immigrant!
Lots of internal grants to develop these things — all will be wasted according to parkinson’s law.
When it is time, there will be a new fast food vending machine that cooks a burger, fries potatoes, and shakes a shake in 30 seconds, all for $4.00.
So much for that $15 an hour to flip burgers. How did that work out for you?
Initial outlay of $150,000 and it takes the place of at least 4 $15 employees.
Won't spit on food, will be there and not be late, won't quit in the middle of rush, won't sue or get hurt, won't steal.
Yeah, keep protesting for $15, morons.
You'll soon have all the time in the world.
Great, with all the money they’ll save on labor, looks like the prices will soon be coming down at White Castle!
Considering it's White Castle, how hard can that be.
Ever see one of their hamburger patties before they're thrown on the grill? They look like little flat wooden squares with holes in them........LOL!
