Yeah I mean what really is the "program" they are calling AI.
I assume a database where they log terms like double cheeseburger, and try to add as many various ways you can say that without overlapping another item then when that is recognized it runs and if statement that points to term names that are recognized as part of the double cheeseburger. 2 pickles, onions, ketchup, mustard, 2 patties, 2 slices of cheese, and 2 pieces of bread. If the user mentioned a term such as "take off" "hold" "remove" a function is used to change 2 pickles to 0 or 4.
Then that data set is aggregated into a program that tallies that -2 or +2 pickles changes the cost up/down by said amount. (McDonald's actually does lower cost if you remove items, I found that interesting..)
Order paid for... 2 patties automatically dropped into the burger making machine (I think that's still a carbon based meat sack), subtracted from inventory. 2 buns added.. dropped.
I assume the hard part is when someone says ,"can you remove the lettuce from the first one" after you added a chicken sandwich and add referring to the burger you ordered earlier... Idk
