Not only that, we'll be seeing automation come to fast food sooner rather than later. I'll bet the technology already exists to make a burger to order from cooking it to putting the condiments on it.
There is a touchscreen machine that takes your order for you at some of the Jack-in-the-Box restaurants here. It's a start...
Also, Hertz has some cool technology like that too for their front counter. No more dealing with those cranky union workers. And my husband is testing something really cool for Hertz where you won't have to talk to ANYONE anymore when renting a car. He is one of them people testing it out. Not sure when it will go live though.
