The standard joke is what does a
liberal arts graduate say after graduation? Would you like fries
with that?
Not for much longer!
Labor costs are a significant part of
the costs of running what is now known as a QSR (Quick Service
Restaurant) formerly a fast food restaurant. Labor costs can run up
to 40% of total sales
Auto assembly workers were replaced by
robots, the same trend is coming to a QSR near you.
But
change is coming. Momentum
Machines has designed a robotic burger manufacturing system
which can replace line cooks and allows
custom built burgers.
So,
maybe it's time to reevaluate that $80,000 liberal arts degree or
look at more viable career options.
Maybe we all should begin thinking how we can become more valued in the changing economy!
