Would you visit a partially or completely automated fast food restaurant?
This would be a restaurant designed to eliminate human error from your order. The drive-up menu would either be voice activated to record your requests exactly or have some type of manual entry. The interior of the restaurant would likewise have voice activated or manual entry menus from which to order. These menus would of course have options for "holding" certain condiments undesired. To eliminate error in food preparation and/or possible unsanitary conditions (people spitting in the food, etc.), a machine could be designed to effectively store, cook, and assemble your food assembly line style then send it out to you. There would be one person on hand for emergencies, maintenance, and refilling the machine. This concept is flexible.
