but certainly having one or two humans at the restaurant, with almost full automation would be cheaper?

If you believe this, why don't you raise some money and start a company to out compete traditional restaurants? If it's really so easy to automate as you think it is, you'll be raking in the dough.

I very well may, although that's only one example of what I view as a much larger issue. I currently make less than 10K a year though, so I'm sort of focusing on that first.

EDIT: Clarification.
