As restaurants across the country adjust for a post-pandemic world, driven mainly by the shift to a contactless environment via the adoption of automation and robotics, fast-food restaurant operator White Castle announced Tuesday morning additional robot deployments were nearing in the pursuit to automate kitchens.
White Castle, who announced a partnership with Miso Robotics' Flippy, a robotic chef, in July, which we've highlighted for years (see here & here), released a statement, announcing ten White Castle locations will soon receive robotic chefs.
More jobs not coming back post-pandemic.

White Castle To Automate Kitchens As Contactless Shift Will Accelerate Job Loss

ReplyDeleteSo, the MMT approach:
1) More government privileges for the banks so the so-called "credit worthy" can continue to automate jobs away with what is, in essence, the PUBLIC's credit but for private gain.
2) Mop up the unjustly dis-employed by paying them to waste their time with a JG.
Got stupid?

ReplyDeleteI remember Horn & Hardart. Used to go there with my dad as a kid.
ReplyDeleteThis is why basic income is needed. The job guarantee is obsolete. What jobs? Robots will be doing most of service and production work soon.
ReplyDeleteAny number of jobs is possible -- much better, socially productive jobs than dead-end fast food jobs. AND, by the way, the basic income is the greatest remover possible of good quality jobs: it will just increase the precarity faced by the earning classes.
ReplyDeleteHorn & Hardart had an extensive food prep crew behind the little food cubicles. I remember looking thru to see them at the big one on 42nd and 2nd in NYC.
ReplyDeleteCorrect Marian... I can make my own sandwich ...
ReplyDeleteBaby Boomers will demand a JG when they're unable to take care themselves.

ReplyDeleteRight, and that can be automated. Could be an entirely robotized food preparation and delivery system. Even the payment system could be digitized, eliminating the need for tokens. But as a kid putting tokens in and getting food was a thrill. There were no vending machines back then. The Chinese are probably already doing something like this.
