The Problem: Restaurant Price Inflation
According to Finance Buzz, restaurant prices increased by an average of 60% between 2014 and 2024—nearly double the national inflation rate. To make matters worse, service quality has declined. CNBC reports that 25.9% of Starbucks customers experienced longer wait times, reflecting a broader trend of labor shortages in the industry.
Why is the labor shortage happening?
Many workers view server or barista roles as unsustainable long-term careers, especially on minimum wage, leading to high turnover rates, such as 130.7% in 2020. This forces businesses to incur additional expenses for hiring, training, and maintaining staff while overburdening existing employees to stay profitable.
Their solution
Yummy Future is here to change the game—making businesses profitable while ensuring workers find satisfaction and sustainability in their roles.
Their system is a high-throughput, modular, and reconfigurable solution, designed to serve as a flexible multi-category food and beverage assembly line. By automating routine and production-heavy tasks, it reduces the burden on human workers, allowing them to focus on building closer connections with customers—answering questions, addressing their needs, and fostering meaningful interactions.
