    Wendy's 'hires' 1000 new robotic workers

    Wendy's to introduce self-ordering kiosks at 1,000 stores - The Wendy's Company (NYSE:WEN) | Seeking Alpha

    Wendy's to introduce self-ordering kiosks at 1,000 stores
    Feb. 27, 2017 1:42 PM ET|About: The Wendy's Company (WEN)|By: Clark Schultz, SA News Editor

    Wendy's (WEN +0.1%) plans to install about kiosks in about 1K of its high-volume stores to allow customers to place orders by themselves.

    The roll-out is expected to be finished by the end of the year.

    The self-ordering kiosks are popular with younger visitors and help the company save on labor costs.

    Earlier this month, Wendy's guided for labor inflation of 4% for 2017.

      It was only a matter of time... They wanted to be paid more and more until a certain point it's cost effective to replace them with this.

          I always order at the McDonalds self service kiosks nowadays, if I ever walk in there to eat at all. I don't want to talk to "these people"...

              That's what happens when you think your skills are worth more than cops, fireman etc that put their life on the line daily. Go Technology!

                              I am quite sure how that would be introduced regardless of that situation. Every company will go with route to cut employee cost no matter what.

                                          Those were all your potential customers and now some of them will be your financial burden...I find it amusing that some are calling the shrinking of their own market and rise of tax spending a good thing LOL

                                              My customers are not the menial workers being replaced -- they are the guys buying the robots. The stock markets are up and my business has increased dramatically.

                                              To some degree these displaced workers will be spending less, and this, in aggregate may effect sales in some way.

                                              No one can afford a $6.00 ratburger anymore.
                                              Wendy's will sell less product if they do not contain prices somehow.

                                                          I find it funny when people say that or I hear I have a degree and thats what I make. No 15 is not too much for the fast food worker in 2017,its the others are being grossly underpaid.
