I saw a fry cooker can doing 5 cooks job simultaneously on a shopping site recently,that kind of stuff got great reviews like:I fired 2 cookers since I got the machine!!!

A part of law enforcement is not safe .

I didn't realize running a deep fryer was all that labor intensive, and I worked in the food service industry for several years.

As for food assembly, I can understand that it's a mechanical process, but when I think of machines doing all the work, I can only imagine the machine would get incredibly dirty, which grease splatter, gunk buildup, erant crumbs and sesame seeds, and dried up liquids around nozzles, in addition to having to be constantly restocked. Also if you get a lunch rush, you can have additional people work the line, but a big machine would probably have a fixed capacity. I have a feeling that food prep automation is still realistically a ways away.

On the other hand, I will applaud then the drive-thru operators are made obsolete, because they mess up my order so often, I'd rather just interact with a kiosk.

I guess that would be a big deal in Eastern cuisine, incidentally their human labor costs are a lot cheaper anyhow.

Even the labor costs are lower there, they still really want to fire them.
