McDonald's shares hit an all-time high on Tuesday as Wall Street expects sales to increase from new digital ordering kiosks that will replace cashiers in 2,500 restaurants.

Cowen raised its rating on McDonald's shares to outperform from market perform because of the technology upgrades, which are slated for the fast-food chain's restaurants this year.

Andrew Charles from Cowen cited plans for the restaurant chain to roll out mobile ordering across 14,000 U.S. locations by the end of 2017. The technology upgrades, part of what McDonald's calls "Experience of the Future," includes digital ordering kiosks that will be offered in 2,500 restaurants by the end of the year and table delivery.

The owners don't want to deal with all the kids that skip work lately...screw it...get a machine to do their job
 
As the labor union-backed Fight for $15 begins yet another nationwide strike on November 29, I have a simple message for the protest organizers and the reporters covering them: I told you so.

It brings me no joy to write these words. The push for a $15 starter wage has negatively impacted the career prospects of employees who were just getting started in the workforce while extinguishing the businesses that employed them. I wish it were not so. But it’s important to document these consequences, lest policymakers elsewhere decide that the $15 movement is worth embracing.

As predicted, the left's economically ignorant drive to extract from employers more in labor costs than can be absorbed by sales results in human catastrophe for the very demographic they said they wanted to help.
 
Do y'all think any of those cotton picking luddites are feeling vindicated in their graves?
 
They are also experimenting with going back to fresh instead of frozen beef...


They are losing market share to all sort of franchises who try to meet the changing tastes of the fast-food purchaser. The article I read talked about the danger of increasing wait times at the drive through.


And people wonder why we're getting more obese.

No point - I just found it interesting
 
The part I think is funny are all those people being shocked that they have to order by using a machine.

Like talking to the speaker in the drive-thru is unsual... :rolleyes:

Yeah, there's a kid on the other end, but really, you don't have face to face interaction with the menu sign. It's just a big outdoor kiosk.

The fact that it'll now be fully automated makes no difference.

On another sort of related note: I hope they get the GUI right. I ABSOLUTELY DETEST the new Chase ATM GUI. It's a fucking failure in everything from sequence, to input to graphics to that stupid tune it plays.

And since they went to fresh unfrozen meat it takes a minute more for an order. People are pissed as the news wrote. A damned minute for fresh healthier food! Play with your damned phone or Tablet an extra minute.
That's why we eat Hardee's or BK.

Have you ever responded to anything non-partisan with an equally non-partisan response? Fuck, it must be exhausting to be so afraid of everything in the world that doesn't look or think like you.
 
One thing is certain: electronics will never demand wages which don't reflect their skill level.
