McDonald's is hiring a new kind of employee

Yahoo Finance reports:

The McDonald’s (MCD) of the future will have fewer people behind the counter taking orders as the fast-food giant modernizes its restaurants by incorporating kiosks, table service, increased mobile app functionality, and curbside delivery into its locations.

On the company’s first-quarter earnings call, CEO Stephen Easterbrook was asked if the so-called “Experience of the Future” initiative would require additional labor or more training.

“Additional labor? No, we’re not seeing additional labor,” Easterbrook said.

No word yet from the $15 minimum wage crowd on this story.
