red_is_ash 2 days ago#1 All of them to be exact. Currently, I pay around $250,000~ for them every year. I make decent money as the owner operator of the store, but, imagine if I could save $250,000 every year. I am thinking of making everything automatic. Why do I need a cashier or someone to make the food? A company I discovered online allows a lot of what my workers do become automated. I can replace the cashier workers with ipads and the cooking stuff becomes automated with machines. The machines cost like $250,000 themselves but, they last longer than that and I get free support if I make the purchase. Clean up of the restaurant is my hardest thing to automate. Maybe I'll keep an employee around just for that but seems like a waste of money to be honest.  But yeah, I am excited about automation. reportquote

As an employer, employee expenses does not just cover salary. There's also benefits and other tax related expenses (e.g. pay half of social security tax). There are also other non-employee-specific expenses, like payroll. reportquote

Balrog0 23 hours ago#25 the cost of an employee is typically 1.5-2x their salary as a rule of thumb guys He would make his mark, if not on this tree, then on that wall; if not with teeth and claws, then with penknife and razor. reportquote

That is not something that you can add as an added cost to automation. --- MaverickXeo --- reportquote

If someone can get physical access to the machines, they can get inside them if they were really determined enough. You'd still need proper security measures in place to prevent these kinds of attacks. Many Bothans died to bring you this post. reportquote
