It might have to do with a patent they own…Despite bad reviews, robotic pizza maker Zume is now valued at $2.25 billion, according to the Wall Street Journal. Zume’s latest investment came from Japanese conglomerate SoftBank. Other investors include co-founder of Yahoo, Jerry Yang, and the firm Maveron, whose co-founder made Forbes’ Midas List.

hydraulic fluid in the food
beep boop. I was invented to steal American jobs.
Neck tendons, that is all.
Good. No tipping .
(((funny money people)))
Bad Mexicans taking over our jobs!
Money laundering 2.0
Mexicans spit in your food.
Machines taking the jobs while population is booming. And there’s still idiots who saying that immigration is good and helping the economy.
Deep dish is where its at!
+1 Lori
+1 Pizza
How dare you talk about pizza cooked in a wood-fired oven. You’re killing me!
I would dump that stock
Why is rt so against robots
This will NEVER EVER EVER come to fruition in local pizzerias!!! What a joke! You can quote me on this prediction!

her name is lori, she lives in brooklyn, she frequents tony’s.
tiny bottom here I come!
Theres one serious problem with Zume though. The trucks. The idea is novel and fantastic, but you cant really fit one of those box trucks down a crowded residential street. Oh, and theres also the age old issue of customers giving you incorrect addresses, living in apartments, expecting you to deliver to their back yard or to the pool…
I mean, Zume is a great idea, dont get me wrong, but logistically its not that great an improvement.

Let’s hope they don’t only serve the Jewish population.
White Castles has Food Trucks that services festivals, so i dont see why not. It will kerp door dash/grubhub services competitive as well. Already seeing inflation within delivery fees.
It is disgusting that everything has to be made into a capitalist endeavor. The robots should free us workers from jobs! Also, does anybody even try to NOT USE FOSSIL FUELS? AREN’T WE IN A CLIMATE CRISIS? SO WHY MAKE MORE FOSSIL FUEL DEPENDENT VEHICLES? I GUESS WE DON’T CARE ABOUT THE HEALTH OF THE EARTH. WHAT WE WANT IS BUSINESS PROFITS AND WHATEVER WE CAN CLICK ON AND BUY WITH MONEY.
How does the robot handle pepperonis. Its hard enough for me.
Farty ass pizza
Because we are gradually being programmed to accept what sucks as normal. It’s been happening for years but slow enough that people don’t notice the slow degradation of quality.
And at the end they will have a robot suck the discarded filth out of their holes and leave a good mark of lipstick for thanks.
What a garbage
Cool… Sophia do a blowjob for much less coming soon!
If a robot costs 1 million what’s the point in it making pizza, a human pizza chef would earn 800,000 on irish min wage in 40 years, let’s all sit at home with no jobs and no money because of robots doing our jobs, lol egg and chicken lol the robots would have nothing to do except use up carbon
Thanks for the update.
it’s not a robot pizza maker because it cannot by itself make a 1 pizza…
A human spreads the dough by hand, sauce, cheese and toppings all without washing their hands after they wiped their ass. This why I rarely eat out or get sick.
It probably makes pizza better.
I like the content but I absolutely have the snarky, immature, teenager-who-just – read-howard-zinn attitude. It’s cringy.
ummm
How can you have a patent for making good automatically enroute, far too generic to be enforceable it’s the same when words are owned by copyright etc it’s ridiculous.
