“Break even for a burger bot is $10 per hour.”

Would you care to substantiate that number and for how long?

Maybe for the extent of the period of which the capital expense recouped.

This was a few years ago and it was a manufacturer of such a system - they had a graphic and all the numbers presented at the time, which I can’t find at the moment. The gist of it was that in 2014, if your minimum wage went to $10/hr, the burger bot’s amortized cost *including expected maintenance* was the same as the cost of your employee doing the same job. Anything more than $10/hr and the bot had the advantage.
