Experts have warned for years that robots will replace humans in restaurants. Instead, a twist on that prediction is unfolding. Amid the lowest unemployment in years, fast-food joints are turning to machines—not to get rid of workers, but because they can't find enough of them.⠀
⠀
For @caliburgerusa, the solution is Flippy, a robot that turns its burgers and cleans the hot, greasy grill.⠀
⠀
The chain plans to install Flippy in up to 10 of its 50 restaurants by the end of the year, but it doesn't intend to kick humans to the curb as a result. Flippy will handle the gruntwork, freeing employees to tidy the dining rooms and refill drinks—less arduous work that might make it easier to recruit and retain workers.⠀
⠀
"We're a long way from teaching a robot to walk the restaurant and do those things," said John Miller, CaliBurger's chief executive and founder.⠀
⠀
The hospitality industry had 844,000 unfilled positions in April, a record high, according to the @usdol. That accounts for about one out of every eight jobs available in America. ⠀
⠀
And while the rise of machines in theory should lead restaurants to employ fewer people per establishment, so far that's not happening. Nationwide, employment is up at individual quick-service restaurants, to 18.4 workers per establishment last year, from 17.4 before the recession began in late 2007.⠀
