What could go wrong with a touch screen fryer you asked? Well a lot more than the screen not responding to touch. This one has a sensor that can tell when the oil is low and will automatically top it off but because the sensor was reading so far off, the fryer didn’t think there was oil in the fryer. No way to bypass the sensor so they’ll be down until I can get back with the part 😔

Wow that’s a genuinely terrible idea
Black Mirror: Restaurant Edition
Wtf. Why would they put a touch screen there of all places.
This would be my undoing.
Who the fuck thought that was a good idea?
Making simple things complicated.
Always a good idea. /s
I would quit if 5 minutes before shift, it required 15 mins update then after the update, all the commands are changed.
Yeah can I get a chips and cheese and some jalapeno balls please
Sorry no the fryer is in the middle of a windows update
No way this helps drive thru times😂😂😂
Just why, such a simple machine
Oh God why, what kind of moron who has never worked on the line thought a deep fryer filled with software and sensors is a good thing
OP, are you working at a chain or an proprietary establishment?
That’s possibly the worst idea I’ve ever seen implemented
I hate this. Passionately.
SUCK IT, JIN-YANG!
Is this fast food? They always seem to try and over-simplify fast food equipment and techniques and end up making it worse than a slightly more time-consuming, widely accepted alternative.
finally, a way to tell when the oil is low
Hate them shits , got to find a way to bypass and share it with everyone on the line because things get technical with those
Creating issues that never existed.
“Sorry customer, your french fry order is delayed due to software updates and patches”
That is quite possibly the worst piece of kit I’ve ever even heard of, I’m actually genuinely in awe
Does it have games? Lol
Imagine getting a BSOD on this thing… The irony…
For the love of food, please stop putting touchscreens on commercial kitchen equipment. Between the vector and combis, I would legit freak out if my fryers had them too
Are you saying there’s no manual backup where you can just use it like a normal fryer if something fails?
i know your not supposed to touch the fryer oil but
touch screens and oil are one of the worst combinations to work with EVER
Imagine dropping fries while your fryer gets an OS
update mid service
What in the C-Suite decision making?
Anybody who buys anything but a simple milivolt fryer is an idiot.
You don’t need built in recipies or timers. You don’t need a screen.
You need a knob for temp and proper training for your crew.
If this ain’t self filtering, then whoever purchased this should be fired.
That screen will get so greasy
Whoever does your purchasing needs the company credit card taken away
Solutions looking for problems.
All taco bells have this kinda fryer. Then they make us make Nuggets and Fries, at a TACO BELL. FUCK THESE FRYERS
Ah yes, please allow me to bend over the fryer so that I can manipulate the grease covered touchscreen in gloves.
Any big kitchen appliances should NOT have a touch screen, especially not one filled to the absolute brim with burning hot oil.
“Sorry sir we cant make fries today we are waiting on a firmware update.”
fuck touch screens all my homies hate touch screens
We have a touch screen dishwasher. Thing is a nightmare.
I have this problem with the dishwasher machine.
And it’s even more stupid there because it’s over the door so everytime you open it to take the load in or out it gets wet from the steam.
Sure, you can fry whatever….. but you gotta replace the magenta cartridge first.
What was wrong with a couple simple lights
Oh let me click this screen with my greasy hands and gloves trying to figure out what to do
How do I make this fryer more dangerous? Make it harder to use and add electricity.
This will work out amazing. /s
We are in the process of switching over to toast. We’re gonna have touch screens in the kitchen.
I never thought I’d miss and old dot matrix printer, but here we are. 🙄😢
What a stupid invention.
At the top of the list of products designed by someone that will never use it!
As a former Frymaster rep let me add my own good GOD this is a terrible idea.
Who on Earth thought this was a good idea?
