Wendy's to install self-ordering kiosks at 1,000 locations in 2017
Wendy's customers will soon be ordering from a computer as the company plans on installing self-ordering kiosks at 1,000 of its fast food locations by the end of 2017, according to the company's February investor report.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jobs are going, going, going so many ppl warned those 15 an hr idiots this would happen. With Obamacare in the picture at the time and still on going for now . Who do you think these companies are going to want more computers/robots or a human pain in the ass who wants more and more pay, calls of sick, takes vacations.....
Yaaay it's such a conspiracy that technology will be taking many, many jobs.

So did the Jack in the Box in my neighborhood about 15 years ago. The minimum wage has nothing to do with it.

 

[WheelieAddict]

Automation is happening and it has nothing to do with minimum wage laws. Decreasing minimum wage might slow down the job losses but won't matter.

Technology takes jobs, and creates new ones.

Yup.

New and few.

 

[Ringel05]

Wonder if their kiosks will have games like Global Nuclear War? Hello Dr Falken, shall we play a game..........

It's OK. With all the manufacturing jobs coming and all the illegals leaving and with us cutting down on immigration companies will be hiring. Time to do something else

it has everything to do with it, but you keep telling yourself that. At this present moment. Be it a pay raise or not yet Technology will still take jobs but they are going to take those jobs faster now because it cost to much to pay workers that much per hour to flip g.d hamburgers esp.

How much do you figure it will cost to keep those computers in good working order?

So you agree the jobs are going away no matter how low the minimum wage goes, correct?

 

[Toro]

Self-ordering machines are all over Europe. It's cheaper than labor where the cost of labor is high.

 

[HenryBHough]

How much do you figure it will cost to keep those computers in good working order?

No repairs.

Replace.

Once the penetration is sufficient the point-of-purchase kiosk "guts" will be so cheap there'll be no point in even trying repair.

Remember when you used to call a repairman for your TV?

 

[airplanemechanic]

Yes, now they are so reliable repairmen aren't needed. It's also so expensive to fix them now that it's not worth it.

Since the phone robots who mess with your life when trying to find customer service have been around for over 15 years or so.. job loss have increased and will continue to do so.

Yes, we will see many more jobs disappear I agree.

 

[norwegen]

I've used these self-ordering kiosks at Wa-Wa, and I must say, they're smarter than the average high-school student.

 

[DrainBamage]

Yep, less jobs every year because of automation.

The only way I'd eat at a Wendy's is if you got a bj from a cute gal while eating...
