Man visits McDonald’s first-ever automated outlet in US, documents his experience

From machines handling orders to robots bringing food, McDonald’s outlet in Texas’s Fort Worth is almost entirely automated.

Fast food chain McDonald’s opened their first-ever automated outlet in Texas’s Fort Worth last year, and it has since created a buzz on social media. From machines handling orders to robots bringing food, the facility is almost entirely automated. It is designed as a ‘grab and go’ facility with no arrangements to dine inside it. Recently, social media influencer Kaansanity visited the outlet and documented his experience. He even shared the video on his personal Instagram account. Expectedly, it attracted the attention of many.

“What do you guys think about this?” reads the caption of the video shared on the Instagram handle @kaansanity. It also accompanies a flushed face emoticon. The video begins with Kaansanity informing viewers about McDonald’s first automated outlet with no employees. As the video progresses, he gives a walkthrough of the small outlet and places an order through a kiosk. Guess what? A robot delivers it. Towards the end, he places an order online and picks it up through the drive-thru.
