Re:SoftBank’s $375M bet on pizza went bad fast by dragandj on Saturday February 15, 2020 @03:30PM (#22337764)
I would think that the biggest problem in this type of old commoditized industry (food) the biggest problem is how to sell. The cost of making lots of pizzas, with robots or humans, should be less in total than the cost of marketing, delivery, etc. Maybe that's the answer to this question. These robots are there to make these pizzas appealing to investors (hi-tech something something), and then prospective customers (a hi-tech pizza that doesn't taste like shit)...

Pizza in particular is fiercly competitive. There are tiny Domino's Pizza places in every city and all over the place. Their overhead is low and you can carry out a large pizza for $8. And it is not a bad pizza. It's not an artisinal pizza but it's not bad.
