I agree with a lot of that, but they keep cashiers because they need subs for cooks when they go on break and drive thru to hand the food over.

When robots gets a little further along we'll see a feasible shift.

I'm talking about the person who takes your order, but I agree that a few fast food jobs are irreplaceable - for now. I've notice that many chains still have not open their dining rooms back up. They are basically anticipating drive through to be like a giant vending machine. No humans other than to maybe stock the machine every week.

That is the future. If I was wealthy right now I would buy up a large restaurant in a nice area. Keep one kitchen and split it into 3 micro restaurants and rent the space out to three small businesses. 3 counters - no seating possibly a drive thru.

I am in tech/marketing design. I would offer all my services in exchange for profit percentage to get them all set up with a good brand, marketing and online ordering.

People want quick delivery/pickup, less interaction with affordable prices.
