Soylent Amalgamated Industries: Bringing Better Lives to More People the Old Fashioned Way...Straight out of a Machine Ticker Symbol - GREN http://momentummachines.com/ Catch the momentum while you still can: A burger for still under $12
Quinoa tastes like shit. You couldn't pay me to eat any of those dishes. Vegan is fine, but they act as if the stuff is Rib Eye.
The "middle class wages for fast food workers!" crowd will get their just deserts if this becomes widespread.
Actually it's not fully automated. Food prep still done by humans, just no cashier and they have it configured so it looks at first glance like nobody is home.
Strikingly similar to the Automat my parents took me to in Manhattan as a child. More for the novelty than the quality of the food as I came from a large Italian family that took their cooking seriously. I'm sure the food is a notch above today, though. I do, however, see a shift in labor costs as the impending $15.00/hour rule approaches.
Yes, and the Dutch seem to still love this automat concept. It is particularly popular in late night venues, crowded quick serve time/place, sports/concert/conference venues... But the Dutch concept never adheres to just a vegan or certain ethnic serving. With much success, they usually run both vegan and non vegan, both Caribbean and Asian (along with local EU & US), both adult and kids fair etc... FEBO
