Fair enough. Still, we've seen ordering kiosks being threatened decade after decade after decade after decade, and I see zero in the wild. My guess is that ordering may be where automation can take over, but it's not where the costs are. I wouldn't've minded ordering kiosks at fast food places back in the Eighties when bank ATMs took off, but at some point I stopped expecting them any day now. I'll grant you that I'm maybe a bit jaded in my old age, but to me the giveaway that this tarted-up press release was advertorial was when they wet their pants over Apple Pay. Not even Apple gives a shit about Apple Pay. It's just their brand of NFC.
