[Los Angeles] – AVT Inc., a leading manufacturer of automated retailing systems, self-service kiosks, and custom vending machines, commented on McDonald’s announcement that they are going to implement self-service kiosks in over 2,000 of the fast-food giant’s restaurants.
McDonald’s and other large businesses and franchises are part of a growing trend to use kiosk technology to enhance consumer experience, reduce costs and improve service.
James Winsor, CEO and Chief Engineer at AVT, who was part of the early development of kiosk technology in airline industry, sees this as a step in the right direction.
“When you look at a cost-benefit analysis, self-service solutions provide multiple benefits and a rapid return-on-investment,” Winsor commented. “These benefits, which are also found in automated retailing systems, extend to enhancing customer engagement, broadening distribution, improving customer satisfaction, increasing sales, and accelerating the purchasing process.”
Companies as diverse as Redbox and Rug Doctor have changed the way people buy or rent products in everyday life. Entire business models have been built around automated solutions, and now, with giants like McDonald’s joining the club, the number of businesses and brands seeking self-service solutions will only grow higher.
Wayne Salvino, President of AVT, Inc., said that AVT is well-positioned to help large corporations develop enterprise self-service solutions. “We have a track record of creating high-performance systems using our patented technologies that deliver award-winning design and industry-leading quality,” Salvino said. “When you look at the most innovative, technology-rich automated retailing systems of the past 5-years, many if not most of them, got their start at AVT.”

I’m sure this has nothing to do with the push for $15/hr min. wage. How many people will this put out of work? Could the progressive left honestly not see this coming?
Finally my coffee order will be correct!!!
There is your answer to paying someone 15.00 per hour to serve you French fries
? please tell me this is a joke!
I just think nobody should eat there anyway. I don’t…..
Ha ha and they wanted 15:00 bucks an hour….. This will be a lot cheaper in the long run…fools and there money.
Hhahaha good luck with your $15
Considering that the food at Micky D’s will last for months, they won’t loose any money on wasted inventory. 5 second rule? Try 5 months….
The wage argument is hilarious, but valiant attempt. Also, it’s McDonalds. Let them burn.
So you don’t think this has anything to do with increased wages for a job a machine could do?ok buddy
Nope. I think it has to do with a greedy pile of a corporation finding yet another way to shove their vile and vomit inducing food down everyone’s throats. It ain’t political, it’s financial. Buddy.
Isaiah Talley Ryan Ellington it’s happening lol
I believe you will order and pay and pick up your food when ready.
Ewwwwww. Considering that a mcdonalds burger never goes bad.. .this could work.
