$6 is a lot for a fast food burger. I can get a really good burger at dozens of places for less and isn't made by a machine.
This place is in San Francisco. Where are these "dozens of places" for a really good burger <$6?
But where are the "dozens" of places?
The point is that it's faster than a burger at a specialty burger restaurant, like Red Robin.
A grill at Red Robin operates in parallel and can easily beat this thing at throughput.
5 minutes is latency. The article says nothing about throughput, but the video shows multiple burgers pipelined on the machine's conveyors.
