Worker shortage and a $15.00 an hour minimum wage? No problem. Bring in the burger flipping robots!
NEW YORK, NY – APRIL 12: An exterior view of a White Castle restaurant, April 12, 2018 in the Queens borough of New York City. White Castle has introduced the meatless ‘Impossible Slider’ burger. The burger, which sell for $1.99, are about twice the size of White Castle’s regular sliders. The patties, made primarily of wheat protein and potato, are the first plant-based burgers sold in an American quick-serve restaurant.
White Castle has been trialing robotic fry cooks since September 2020 when it installed its first “Flippy” robot in a Chicago restaurant. The company upgraded to a “Flippy 2” model at the Chicago location in November 2021 and has since decided to launch a larger version of the program nationwide. The 100 restaurants receiving Flippy 2 robots represent about one-third of the company’s 350 restaurants throughout the midwest, southwest, and New York.
White Castle isn’t the only company to attempt to integrate new technology in its restaurants, McDonald’s has been using automated cashiers for some time and is working with AI firms to streamline its drive-thru order-taking systems.
