Why isn't fast food automated yet

fpbp

This post just screams isolated shut in. So beta that you allow OTHERS to impact the choices you make and limit your quality of life.
Low T & Low IQ confirmed

I dunno dude, imagine the shit head who just sneezed or coughed into your food, that’s a biohazard, at least with robots there would be better quality control

Nice cope, fast food worker. Everyone hates you. Can't wait til you worthless subhumans are permanently made obsolete.

>cope

Did that user hurt your feelings because he has standards for who serves him? you are probably covered in tattoos and not aware your smell like shit.

This post just screams “covered in tattoos drug addict who smells like shit”

Because automation is way overhyped. Crossing guards, for example, were automated decades ago, yet they still use them in my city.

Fucking bullies. The guy has had enough. He is probably taking a shower right now and washing thrice.

Think he slit his wrists in the shower.

i wish they would because half of the time those wagies cant even make decent burger

The robot cant clean the tables and toilets in addition to flipping the burgers

I didn't mean it user... I'm sorry... people really appreciate those burgers...

Because you can't extract surplus value from a machine. Read Kapital Vol 1, it's the most basic idea from marx. This is the inherent contradiction of capitalism: it necessitates and advances automation for efficiency, but by removing the laborer from the equation it decreases the amount of surplus value an employer can extract. You must have human labor to get surplus value, short of selling your product for higher than all the component costs.

However, the process is about as automated as it can get. Everything from distribution to assembly (cooking) is wildly systematized so that employees don't actually have to think much. There is a point beyond which automation provides less and less cost savings and I'd guess fast food has already hit it. Having robots squirt ketchup and pour fries into oil won't save the corp money or time. However, they ARE automating further though. All the mcdonalds in NYC where I live use touchscreen ordering/point of sale.

To explain better, a laborer requires a basic pay per period of time, let's say a day, which is what they need to survive and is called their necessary labor time. Let's say it's 100 dollars a day. A laborer will work for a company and can easily generate 100 dollars of value for the company, and the company will pay the employee $100 for that day. However, it's not like you the employee produce that $100 and then just go home, having given the company in value what they in turn pay you. The capitalist has you work for longer, and does, as it's part of the necessary arithmetic of capitalism. And beyond that point of necessary labor time-- at which point you've produced $100 for them-- all the extra value you are producing goes into the capitalist's pocket, and is called surplus value.

A machine cannot produce surplus value because all its activity, maintenance, fuel, raw material etc is owned and paid for by the capitalist. A capitalist can make a machine work 24/7 but they are paying for every second of its time in the form of wear, tear, and depreciation. All of a machines worth over its lifetime gets converted into the value of what it produces.

You neglect the fact that automation in one company provides a relative advantage over other companies in the same market. Assuming the price is standardized this allows for greater profit margins compared to competitors, which is why companies choose to automate in the first place.

Because children are cheaper/easier to hire

This is my sense of it. When people talk about automation it reminds of 2017 when every shitcoin was going to upturn its industry TODAY, when at a base level even at the top of the industry it's barely functional. I think people have gotten used to the pace of technological advancement from the past few decades, it seems like everything is slowing down and will take decades to shake out in reality.

>what is japan

A functioning homogenous society with an extremely obedient population.

>ceo makes $100 from employee per annum via arrangement facilitated by voluntary and easily terminated contract

"thief! tyrant! guillotine! (>8^O}"

>government takes tens of thousands of dollars per annum from this exact same person directly, takes thousands annually from the company that hires him (payroll tax), takes 7-25% from this same person's previously taxed income whenever this person buys something from somewhere, taxes the previously taxed income from this same person when they drive over certain roads, taxes the previously taxed income from this same person on unrealized gains on investments they make, taxes the previously taxed income of this same person for living in a certain area and taxes the previously taxed income of this same person when they die.

"this is the price you agreed to pay by being born in a society! people I've never met have my best interest at heart! muh roads! (8^O}"

Communists are religious zealots. There is no reasoning with them. That’s why some governments resorted to just killing them, even though it was their own people. There is just no other way. They literally cannot be reasoned with once they’ve been initiated into the communist cult.

This. I keep saying this same thing that white collar workers are going to get hit the hardest with automation at least in the beginning. It's like men found a way to get women out of the workforce once and for all.

>Because you can't extract surplus value from a machine
Something weird about this sentence...
> Read Kapital Vol 1
Found the problem.

>machine costs $20k
>assembles 5000 products per day
>profit margin of $10
>products requires 4 other machines to be fully ready for market
>profit margin ($10) / total machines needed (5) = $2 profit per product assembled by machine
>10000 products produced and sold, break even on machine
>nearly pure profit from here on out, minus odd repairs

Typical commie bullshit, always fucking word salad. Cold numbers are a commie cunts worst enemy. Now fuck off peasant

Based and red pilled. They’re cunts that are unironically trying to lead us to a fucking genocide. They deserve the worst punishment

because robots will make labor worthless. Once that happens it will be hard to sell things for money, like this user said

Honestly all that is needed is a machine that makes hamburgers and fries. 1 menu item w/ fries as a side, fill your own drink.

It could pump out burgers like clockwork. As long as they are using 1/4 lb 100% beef patties, real cheddar cheese, and fresh ingredients, you could easily pump out $5 meals that BTFO anything McDonalds can come up with at $8, since you have minimal labor costs.

The reason nobody has done it yet, is because most fast food restaurants are Jews that try to have menus that appeal to the widest audience so they can squeeze out maximum shekels, price their menus in a way designed to upsell and cut costs.

All most people want is a quality burger with real meat for a reasonable price. 80/20 rule to the extreme in a sense.

If for example, you could get Shake Shacks' Shack Burger mass produced without labor costs, you could sell the burger for $3.50, meal for $5, and still make a healthy profit because of the massive volume you would be selling.

noice

as someone who spends a lot of time in boardromms, I can attest this is 100% the mentality. They all know it's coming, but no one wants to make the jump of spending that amount of money on tech thet's never been used before

also, a problem with automation is robots not only doing the task, but doing it alongside humans. Would you like to put a Xmillions machine in the middle of the cesspool of humanity you find in McDOnalds?

The supermarkets near me don’t even have any self checkouts yet. It’s annoying because I hate making small talk with teens and nonwhites
