Fast-food Restaurants Are Using Robots
American restaurants are employing① robots to make up for a lack of fast-food workers.Businesses around the world are increasingly turning to reduce running costs—and fast-food restaurants are acting as pioneers of the robot revolution②.?
Last year,we saw Flippy,the burger-flipping(翻转汉堡包的) robot,work in a Californian burger restaurant.And now US burger chain Wendy’s has begun using self-cleaning ovens(烤箱) in some stores,according to The Wall Street Journal.

Meaty restaurant chain Arby’s also uses smart ovens,which can cook roast beef and then switch to a “holding” mode(模式).This means employees can cook food for the next day the night before,rather than arrive at 7 am to start roasting.
It’s an unsurprising response③ to a lack of fast-food workers.
“I’ve never seen the labour(劳动力) market this tight,” said Scotty Murphy,Chief Operating Officer for Dunkin’ Donuts.“We spend a lot of time training people and a month later they walk out the door.”
The US food and drink industry had 844,000 unfilled positions④ in April last year—a record high.

Dunkin’ Donuts has already automated some processes—like producing labels for food,and measuring the quality of coffee.
“I don’t have to be always worried about other smaller tasks that were tiresome,” said Alexandra Guajardo,the leader at a Dunkin’ Donuts store in California.“I can focus on other things that need my attention⑤ in the restaurant.”
A study by the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development said food preparation faced the highest probability of automation among 88 industries.
“In this market,employees will leave if they have one bad day,” Patrick Sugrue,Chief Executive Officer of Saladworks said.“If that happens,having this technology⑥ in place makes it easier to deal with.”
