Trivia: I will never forget the moon landing, mum let me have the day off school to watch it at home, I was so enthralled by the broadcast that I accidently sat on a plate of spaghetti.
One small sitting for the boy, one giant mess for the mom.
I've read on the website that the battery cannot be replaced or recharged and that the life expectation is around 1000 button presses.
It's fine if you only push the button once a week to order something regularly (lasts a bit over 19 years) but for IoT usage it's not going to last nearly long enough for anything useful.
You can write whatever you want in your EULA, even with "user consent" (i.e. nobody reads those damn things, they're 20 pages long and requires you to be a lawyer to understand half of it) it cannot overrule the existing laws of the country.
Replacing people with machine does allow to run the "restaurants" 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, with no "closed for holiday XYZ" downtime. Even if you only get a few dozen customers overnight, it's still only the cost of having the lights on. And with LED lighting it's now a negligible cost.
Annoying people to force them to NOT pick something is the worst possible idea. A 5% click rate might be good for ads on the Web but it would mean annoying 95% of your customers for a fast-food place.
What you need to do is display those options all the time, maybe on the right of the display so that people may add easily add them at any time during their ordering process.
I’ll never understand this obsession with accumulating material wealth. You spend your entire life plotting and scheming to acquire more and more possessions until your living areas are bursting with useless junk. Then you die, your relatives sell everything and start the cycle all over again. - Odo
I really, really hope at least one company is going to add that "Share and enjoy!" bit to its automated registers/whatever. Bonus points if it's the company that manufactures the registers and sells them to lots of fast food joints and adds that bit by default after whatever the chain wants the machine to say.
Replace neurons/neuron bundles with electronic equivalents one by one, as they aren't being used and you will find that "you" can transition from a wetware brain to an emulated one smoothly and with no interruption. No philosophical zombies.

How about TheRealPirateBay.org?

Oh, I love that movie too! Paul is really funny!

My CAT could crush your puny car.

And mega bonus points if there's an option that reads "Liquid that is almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea".
We're talking about fast food joints here, do you really think those kinds of things happen in Wendy's, etc?

And by "Sophisticated Malware Attack" they mean "a photo of a cute kitten or puppy".

Corporate accounts payable, Nina speaking. Just a moment!
I don't even know where you are (anywhere but the USA or Canada) but I bet your basic service would still have a pretty decent monthly cap too.
Either because the minimum wage "cook" has access to better equipment than you do or because you just plain suck at re-heating pre-made food.
And funnily enough, machines can measure things with much more precision than humans. Moisture and weight is pretty much all there is to it.
"A bunch of mindless jerks" does seem to describe a lot of power-hungry CEOs though.

To be honest, in the end I wasn't sure about this guy either. I mean, he even made a song about it!

Machine: Here is your order! Share and enjoy!

Machine: Here is your order!
Me: I'll be back... for more food, someday.

I guess we'll only really know once we're able to try it.
