This is what I was talking about. We have a few near me where you can't order at the counter, you need to use the kiosk. Saves them money in 2 ways, first by not needing someone to take your order (though they sometimes needs someone to run the register), second, by not having wrong orders, if you entered it and confirmed it you can't claim they got it wrong. There are already machines that can make burgers from raw materials, automating the fry station is almost childs play, same with drinks. Soon that restaurant that employs 10-12 people per shift will be employing 3-4, albeit more highly compensated, feeding the machines and handing food out the window (if that isn't also automated, it could easily be, optical recognition of the vehicle, etc.).
