Talk about social impact is inevitable. I would just mention that far more people are affected by timely safe food preparation, than are 'put out of a job'. Maybe 10X?
Tough to believe, but places that sell a LOT of burgers have to calculate how many slices they get out of a tomato and how many tomatoes go on each burger. But the people making the burgers are not as consistent. This all comes into effect in ordering and budgeting which won't be as much of an issue if a machine is doing the work.
I've never had to do it, but a friend ran the food ordering for a large group of restaurants that sold millions of burgers a year, and it was there job to figure out how many tomatoes to buy in a quarter.
