Well, it had to happen sometime…
Fast food restaurants have long been known as the place your high-school kid got his / her first job flipping burgers.
They may have changed forever.
Miso Robotics has introduced “Flippy,” the self-proclaimed “world’s first autonomous robotic kitchen assistant.”
Current customers include the LA Dodgers, Arizona Diamondbacks, and the Caliburger restaurant chain.
According to its creators, Flippy can cut labor costs by a full 67% and increase profits by 300%.
Some of robo-chef’s other benefits include:
- It can cook burgers perfectly and consistently – without human supervision – time after time after time.
- It’s entirely OSHA safety compliant, meaning it won’t get caught playing “snowball fight” with co-workers using frozen buns.
- It uses cloud-based monitoring and learning, which means I guess that the internet works as both supervisor and trainer – all you have to do is make sure it has a place to work and plenty of beef at ready.
Now there is a benefit to workers in having a robo-chef: it makes for a safer work environment by doing the dirty work of slaving over the hot, greasy stove.
I suppose it was inevitable that flipping burgers as a career would hit a wall at some point. It would be somewhat comforting, however, if at least we force our fledgling robot overlords to start their careers wearing that same dorky paper hat.
While up your skills as a burger jockey doesn’t offer much except for maybe building a solid work ethic and some spending money for teens, there is value in having a solid plan to craft a full and enjoyable retirement. We can help – just give us a call at 513-563-PLAN (7526) or book online and let’s craft a menu of options to make the best tomorrows you can imagine happen according to your schedule.
