Wendy’s Replacing Workers with Kiosks in Response to ‘Fight for $15’

In response to recent minimum wage hikes, Wendy’s is now replacing fast food workers with robots.
The fast food chain announced it will start automating all of its restaurants by installing self-serve kiosks in 6,000 locations by the end of the year.
Although McDonalds has already been experimenting with kiosks, Wendy’s announcement is the largest roll-out to date and will likely spark a trend leading to fully robotic restaurants.
“Wendy’s President Todd Penegor said it will be up to franchisees to decide whether or not to adopt the kiosks in their stores, noting that many franchise locations have had to raise prices to offset wage increases,” Slashdot reported. “California’s decision to gradually raise the minimum wage to $15 by 2022 will impact Wendy’s 258 restaurants, all of which are franchise-operated.”
“About 75% of 200-plus Wendy’s restaurants are run by franchisees in New York, a state that is also on its way to $15.”
It’s simple economics: when labor costs are too high to stay in business, owners will look for alternatives – including burger flipping robots.
One such robot, developed by the San Francisco start-up Momentum Machines, can replicate a fast food worker by shaping burger patties from ground meat, grilling them, adding the specified amount of ingredients, and serving them to customers on a conveyor belt.
