That's why I like European McDonalds. It's all automated. So fast and nice.
Can't wait for it to become a bigger thing here.
With a push for higher minimum wage, it will happen sooner than later.
Americans are also slower to adapt to these things. But once we get a taste of not dealing with people and getting food faster, easier and more accurately, it will shift quickly.
I wish this worked in the drive through. A mobile app would be possible I suppose. But getting the correct order when you finally pull up to the window will be a challenge, because they now have a potential to have a rack of ordered food waiting for pickup.
Don't they still have people handing out food? Just no one is managing the ordering. Cooking maybe? Haven't been to one overseas as I don't really like McDs.
Yes, someone still hands you the food, for now.

Of course, but when you're inside, they just hollar out numbers and you come get your food ASAP. In a drive through setup, it's likely that you could place your order before leaving work, then drive there and hopefully go through the window - tell them your ticket number/name/identifier... they hand you food and you leave.
But this means the food has to be on a rack, waiting there for you. it kinda breaks the speedy system, because now you need completed order storage - perhaps breaks is to harsh - it requires another step or more in the process.
Panara started doing this a few years ago. They put a set of shelves by the front door. You order online, when the order is made it's put on this public place that everyone/anyone has access to, you park, you run in and look for your ticket grab and go. I wonder how much stolen food they have issues with?

They deliver to tables now, at least in Europe.

I saw this at Panara a few days ago. It seemed like someone would take advantage of that system in a heartbeat.

I'm guessing they will monitor it when the expense of lost food outweights the cost of an employee monitoring it.

I used the kiosks in Orlando earlier this year. No table delivery there. Who knows.. it might happen at some point.

I couldn't use the kiosks in Europe because I didn't have a pin number associated with my CC. US CCs could only be used at the counters in Germany.
A few different cashiers in Germany told me that the use of Chip/pin were declining, people weren't happy with them for some reason.. no idea if it's true, just what they said.

Seems like Monday will be a good day to call in sick... I just found out we're going to have somewhere between 200 and 250 tickets created by HR over the weekend...

I kinda like living, so, I'll take the sick day for $200, Alex.

Over a weekend? Is this a 24/7 place that HR would be working weekends anyway, or special circumstance?

I'm sensing a mass hire event.

Want some temp help to get new equipment in place? Or permanent full time for that matter.

Actually, this time, it's a special circumstance combined with a mass (re)hire. We switched payroll processors at the end of June / Beginning of July.
But, being a college, we also always have a bit of churn at the beginning of Fall and end of Spring. But this round could easily be described as a fuster cluck.
