Factors Driving AI and Robotics Adoption in Food Service

Rising wages and a need to keep prices low have given several fast food companies a strong incentive to develop technologies to increase efficiency and reduce labor costs. Wages for fast food companies seem to be being pushed up by two primary causes:

1. The end of the great recession is resulting in a tightening of the labor force pushing up wages.
2. New state and local minimum wage legislation that particularly impacts fast food companies.

At the beginning of the year the minimum wage increased in 19 states. For example, a recently approved initiative in Washington State will raise the minimum wage to $13.50 an hour by 2020 and last year California adopted a law that will bring the minimum wage to $15 per hour by 2022. Former McDonald’s USA CEO Ed Rensi told Fox Business that, “It’s cheaper to buy a $35,000 robotic arm than it is to hire an employee who’s inefficient making $15 an hour bagging French fries.”

As in any industry, fast food also has a tendency to follow the leader. The stock performance of Dominos over the last 7 years has gone from about $13 to well over $200, and it’s hard for competition to ignore. Companies that weren’t technology companies suddenly are, and nobody wants to be left in the dust. The giants of the industry (like the giants in the stodgy automotive industry) are all aware that technology will be a critical edge in the years ahead, and R&D budgets in automation and new customer interfaces reflect this change in attitude.
