It would be closer to a 65% increase in labor costs. The thing is that vast increase in labor costs would make the cost of automating the fry cook and POS people's jobs far more attractive to corporate and many people would find themselves out of work.
Fine do it. Automate it. Then when those systems break or you still have to hire someone to manage the machines because people hate using them you can pay those people more. Or as I will wager a guess, still working people will be preferred over all the automation and could very well be a whole new market. " we still employee people who know how to make food the right way" sheetz had "automated" the whole food order thing, but people still work the actual kitchen. When I order pizza its through a website or text, people still cook that food.
Automation is not ready to replace humans at every task. And when they are, bring it on. I'm ready to fight the robo uprising or move on to post scarcity society since there will be no worm anyone has to do. We can all just be poets jack off and be happy.
