In 3 years you won’t have humans taking your drive thru orders.

This is according to the chairman of Presto automation. Humans will be replaced by chat bots as Wendy’s begins testing them out. The chat box will have a female voice and will understand requested items that aren’t phrased correctly. This is being done because of labor shortages according to Wendy’s.

They better have shitty attitudes and mess the orders up. The burgers just wouldnt taste the same if they got the order right and said thank you.

Fatties rejoice! No more McWrongOrders. McFlurry machine still fricked though.

I'd bet on the under. At least for the most part. Obviously there will be some hold outs.

You can download apps and do that today. I'd rather see all the options on my phone and order at my own pace and eliminate one more way for someone to get my order wrong.

I don’t use drive thru’s at all

But will the shake machine work?

So will I get my burger right or not

Are we sure this is what the AI wants to identify as? I'd imagine AI has no sexual preference, rather they're bi. Bi-nary that is.
I'll see myself out.

$15/hour wages at McDonald’s have consequences

Who will I reach through the window and punch?

These things have a long way to go. Got my order completely wrong at Checkers the one time I’ve used it

Wendy's has been trying to do this for many years, a few years ago they used a call center to take the orders at the drive thru, all well spoken focused people, that clearly weren't the people in the windows.

Will they have an operator monitoring the automation? I’d love to be a fast food operator.
