"Computer gets top job at fast food joint"

http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=33583

"A computer has been appointed manager of a US fast-food restaurant chain."

"The AI computer system takes orders and gives them to staff working at each restaurant.

It uses robotic vision to count the cars in the parking lot, gathers feedback from employees and collects point-of-sale information in real time.

From a management view it can look at historical data to learn about each restaurant and can work out when each one needs staff and other resources. Employees are told how much of which foods to cook and when the food is ready, they tell the computer."
