The most painful part is the founder lingo all this technical superlative 6-axis factory line robot [0] and laser triggered faucets just to make your sad blind ambition sound valueable. Also patenting ovens in a van. Icing on the cake. Or should I say robotic top filling on the automated dough.

To honest though, they look like fresh pizzas. And if by some chance, the system yields stable long term value (happy employees and eaters) then.. why not.

That said anybody gets depressed by the dehumanizing aspect of this era ? drone delivering robotically made pizzas.. it looked funny in the jetsons but in reality I'd like to keep the good'ol restaurants with noisy people in it.

Yes, that's nuts. That super expensive 6 axis robot is for what? If they just moved the oven, the pizza could transition to a wire conveyor right into the oven.

yeah but how do you patent good sense ?

Same way you patent someone else's robot arm that picks something up and outs it down, I guess.
