Rise of the restaurant robots? Chipotle and White Castle are spending over $500,000 a month on automation to combat labor shortages and rising food costs - but it is still cheaper than paying human workers

2023-01-04

[Daily Mail, where America gets its news]

Fast-food chains are employing robots that flip burgers, brew espressos and greet customers

The move to automation is due to labor shortages and rising food costs

White Castle uses a burger-flipping, fry-making robot at 100 of its locations, each costing $3,000 a month

Chipotle has a robot that makes tortilla chips at one site - this also costs $3,000 a month

The cost of these robots is cheaper than paying a human worker
