McDonald’s has begun testing its first-ever robot restaurant in Texas, sparking debate and intrigue in equal measure.
In Fort Worth, Texas, the branch is fully automated and requires no human contact to order and pick up your favorite meal.
The introvert’s dream gained viral attention online after TikTok and Instagram user foodiemunster shared a video from inside. With 1.2 million views, the video shows how customers can use automated screens to order fast food and collect it via a machine.
McDonald’s explained in a statement that the restaurant includes new features including the “Order Ahead lane,” where customers can receive their order on a conveyor belt.
The restaurant is the latest move in McDonald’s “Accelerating the Arches” growth strategy, which is working on innovation to improve customer experiences.
