Kiosks are one thing. Automating the food preparation will be very interesting. A robotic production line will have optimize scheduling during busy times, will always place the pickle slices and various goops at the center of the burger (not slopping over the edges - I hate that), will enable lot sizes of 1 so non-standard preparations will be easy (hold the mustard, no problem), etc.

My first real job was at McDonalds - back when there were only two in Maine. Making milk shakes was pretty much a full time single person affair because it was all manual: grab cub, squirt in syrup, add shake mix, weigh on scale and adjust, put 6 cups on the mixer spindles, remove when the right level is reached, put in refrigerated cabinet, repeat...

Now it’s a one touch operation performed by the counter clerk.

As a customer, number 5 is a good selling point.
