I think getting the location right has always been the biggest obstacle to being a successful restaurant. And there's only so much you can change the menu and "ambience" when you're supplying self-service burgers.

Plus the article does hint the robo-restaurant still has employees to manage customers, clean, load the machine and presumably sort out issues with it on a not-infrequent basis...

Restaurants fail because of 1) poor location, 2) undercapitalization 3) poor QSC (quality/service/cleanliness).
