Due to the extremely rapid development of robotics, many analysts do not paint a very bright picture of the future, and most of the jobs that do not require special efforts will "give" to the robots.
The rationale for such a decision, as it is simple to guess, is purely economic. The fact is that since 2018 in the US in 18 states, the minimum hourly wage increases significantly, which makes use of robots a more profitable item for employers.
"Box is not the only fast food network that will have to be cut by staff due to an increase in the minimum hourly wage. For example, in Red Robin the dismissal of waitress assistants (those who remove from the tables) will allow them to save $ 8 million.
It is worth saying that in 2018, advanced robotic self-service machines will be installed in such large networks as Wendy's, McDonald's and Dunkin 'Donuts. And the latter and do want to switch to automated production, leaving only the delivery and delivery service.
"If all our customers start to order food through mobile applications - this will reduce 30% of employees and reduce costs by a third."
