Now that Joe Biden is making a lot of noise about wanting a Federal national $15 minimum wage, you are probably going to start seeing a lot more news about robots, and automated tech in restuarants--especially fast food.
It's no secret that automation has influenced everything from the auto industry to computer tech; but economic factors are quietly pushing it into food service.
The last time there was a major push for such a wage, right around the end of the Obama Administration, we saw a lot of reports about restaurant robot tech. It went by the wayside mostly due to President Trump's economic policies and a lot of growth and jobs. But now...it's coming back.
