> I can get a really good burger at dozens of places for less

This place is in San Francisco. Where are these "dozens of places" for a really good burger <$6?

Super duper has a 4 oz burger that’s 5.75, and is widely acclaimed.

I really like Super Duper.

But where are the "dozens" of places?

well there you go, proving my point. So not only is the buyer $6 I have to go all the way to San Francisco to get it. I will pass on that.

Even though this is a fast food, its more customizable, more of a "Counter" burger IMHO.

I mean a Wendy's double is $5, $3 is just crazy cheap.

It looks like a high quality burger made fast.

5 minutes isn't fast when there's 20 people in line ahead of you.

Presumably, the restaurant will be able to make more than one burger at the same time, just like other restaurants.

The point is that it's faster than a burger at a specialty burger restaurant, like Red Robin.

Unless they speed up the machine (possible with future versions) or add multiple machines (which increases the required retail space as well as capital expenditures), they're limited by the robot's 5 min throughput. Serially cooking is no way to run a restaurant.

A grill at Red Robin operates in parallel and can easily beat this thing at throughput.

> they're limited by the robot's 5 min throughput

5 minutes is latency. The article says nothing about throughput, but the video shows multiple burgers pipelined on the machine's conveyors.

I hope the beef's better than the crap at Red Robin!
