00:00While the robots have arrived, at least in Pasadena, California,
00:03that's where the world's first ever fully autonomous AI-powered restaurant has opened,
00:08complete with burger-flipping bots.
00:11We sent CBS's Joy Benedict on a taste test.
00:16Flippy the Chef makes spuds spectacular.
00:19This automated grill gives the meat its sizzle.
00:23As this restaurant goes robotic.
00:26For this burger, it would take about 120 seconds.
00:30Cali Express by Flippy is the world's first AI-powered eatery.
00:35There's new technology outside the kitchen, too.
00:38A cheeseburger.
00:39Order kiosks, use facial recognition to remember you, your favorite food, and how you like to pay.
00:46Then watch the robots work, no humans required.
00:50We can't get enough people to come out to work on fryers and grills.
00:55They're dangerous jobs.
00:56And this automation helps solve a lot of those issues.
00:59Hello, I'm going to have someone.
01:0062% of restaurants report being understaffed.
01:04Industry experts say most of those unfilled jobs could be done by robots.
01:09And in California, where the minimum wage for most fast food workers will soon be $20 an hour, fewer workers
01:16equals cost savings.
01:18Dan Ives is with Wedbush Securities, a wealth management firm.
01:22Once the minimum wage went to $20, that's the bell going off.
01:26More and more focus on spending on AI.
01:29Please ask me for more?
01:29Have a great day-� HUR.
01:29Have a great day.
