Wendy’s fast-food customers may soon get their food delivered by underground robots, to help speed up the handoff from the restaurant to those who order from their phones.
The fast-food chain announced a new partnership with Pipedream, a company that developed an underground autonomous robot system that can be used to deliver digital food orders from the kitchen to parking spaces within seconds.
The goal, Wendy’s said in a press release, is to provide faster and more convenient pick-up experiences.
"We know that serving orders quickly and accurate leads to increased customer satisfaction," Wendy’s Company U.S. Chief Operations Officer Deepak Ajmani said. "Pipedream’s Instant Pickup system has the potential to unlock greater mobile order speed of service and accuracy, enabling us to consistently deliver hot and fresh Wendy’s products to our fans."
Wendy’s will be the first quick-service restaurant to pilot Pipedream’s technology, which the tech company says is designed to make digital order pick-up fast, dependable and invisible.
Once installed, the kitchen at your local Wendy’s will be directly connected to a portal outside the restaurant.
After placing a mobile order, the customer will then pull up to a portal and have the food delivered by what Pipedream calls "autonomous robots" that carry the food underground and to the portal.
Customers will not have to leave their vehicles to receive their order.
Wendy’s also says the technology will allow the restaurants to increase efficiencies with crew members by streamlining digital orders.

Ugh, you know those pipes will clog up just like the customers’. Chocolate shakes and mustard everywhere. How are they going to clean them out?
This Youtube video is about what was found in the chicken sandwiches of several fast food chains. It ain’t all chicken.
Walked into my local Wendy’s ... was confronted by a computer screen and a slot for my credit card ... walked out.

Wonder what happens to the system if something jams up for some reason?
Better looking than most of the employees these days...
A conveyor belt system?
Homeless people find welcome wagons.
ping for later
Who is gonna clean out the fungus, rot, and critters from the tunnel?
Let’s get this straight. In order to not get outta’ my car, food will be ordered digitally, probably made by a robot, delivered by underground robot to my car.
1) How would that stop any thief from stealing my food, or robbing me, or killing me while I wait at the delivery zone?
2) Will I have to pay higher taxes to pay for government benefits to the newly unemployed?
Idea sounds like a 11 year olds dream solution to world hunger problems.
