| Burger Kings new drink dispensing seems counter intuitive (Posted on 11/13/12 at 9:04 am)
I don't think a single dispensing machine is the way go in this business for convenience is everything.
You can't serve two people at a time, you have to press multiple buttons, and old people find it hard to use.
Sophistication for the sake of sophistication isn't always the best model.
For those who havent seen it:

they have them in fuddruckers. 
I like them FWIW, but you're right. Old people are so fricking confused by them.

Yes, they are a pain in the arse to use.
But this is the first generation. They will learn from their mistakes and make them better over time.
Don't be that guy, bro.

Firehouse Subs uses something like that and it's terrible. All the drinks taste funny as they're inevitably mixed together to a degree.

Uhhh Wendy's has had this for like 2 years and I've seen it other places too. It ain't exactly new.
But I like it, especially the cherry coke.
