As described, probably not many. It's job seems to be take raw burger patties, put them on the grill, cook them, and then put the cooked burger onto a serving plate. Someone still has to put the burger on a bun, put the condiments on it, wrap it, and deliver it.
My husband works in supply chain logistics, and robots are quickly being utilized in warehouses. They can carry a lot of weight and can move from place to place without wearing out hips or knees. Fewer lawsuits from difficult working conditions as a result. This is the new normal. Get used to it. It’s all over the place.
