A company called Momentum Machines has built a robot that could radically change the fast-food industry and have some line cooks looking for new jobs.

The company's robot can "slice toppings like tomatoes and pickles immediately before it places the slice onto your burger, giving you the freshest burger possible." The robot is "more consistent, more sanitary, and can produce ~360 hamburgers per hour." That's one burger every 10 seconds.

The next generation of the device will offer "custom meat grinds for every single customer. Want a patty with 1/3 pork and 2/3 bison ground to order? No problem."

Momentum Machines cofounder Alexandros Vardakostas told Xconomy his "device isn’t meant to make employees more efficient. It’s meant to completely obviate them." Indeed, marketing copy on the company's site reads that their automaton "does everything employees can do, except better."

I could imagine having quality control issues that only a human can detect.

I have used automatic ORDERING kiosks at Subways, though.

Well maybe they won't spit in your burger if you complain....

Maybe not spit, but serve you maggots or roaches, or parts thereof, because the machine don't give a shit.

Machinist ! How can you be against progress ? Power to the machines !
