The big problem isn't keeping cheap sh*tty food cheap, it's keeping the restaurants clean enough you don't feel dirty when you leave. That is a social and managerial problem, and you don't fix it with magical meat grinder machine.

The conveyer belt would have to have a wax paper or laminated sheet wrapped around the belt and affixed in place.
The only thing that would have to be cleaned is the cooking surface and grinding mechanism, which should be trivial.
You basically would need one employee to fill the device hoppers with fresh ingredients in the morning, babysit the device for the day adding more ingredients as necessary and then break the machine down at night and set it up again for the following day. I estimate 20 minutes labor in the morning and 40-60 at night. A huge savings for the ability to pump out 3600 decent burgers over a 10 hour work day.
