a human that cares about what they are doing
Your typical fast food / short order cook does not care.
well yeah, thats what I mean - the "Waffle House" or generic sugar chicken from "Chinese Food" would be robotic. All the hamburger places? of course. And coffee. But there would be the stall or truck style that would still survive because it would still be something we'd want. Then the problem would be products - if the food is made robotically, it has to be provided uniformly. Thus industrial farming specifically for this.
it has to be provided uniformly.
And this isn't always a bad thing. Take McDonald's, part of the reason they are so successful is I can order on the West or East coast and I know exactly what I am getting.
You do make a good point, there is an art and passion to food preparation if done right and a robot will likely never be able to replicate it.
