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.

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