Maybe someone with economics background can chime in. What would be the long term ramifications of the unemployment % if all restaurants went this route? Assuming the government doesn't step in in mess things up or 'create' jobs would unemployment increase? My thought is that first you factor in the increased jobs in machine manufactoring and tech support. Secondly if you factor in the money saved by the consumer, wouldn't those saved funds just be used somewhere else, and in turn create other jobs in other sectors? I just don't understand how automation means less jobs.
