Taco Bell tried to do this in the 90s.
This article is light on the details of the failures, but basically the little bits of lettuce, tomato and cheese would slip out of the various holders and get smashed into the moving pieces and jam everything up while starting to rot. It was broken more often than not, and even when it wasn't it was a pain in the ass to keep sanitary. Far more trouble than it was ever worth.
Building these machines and operating them won't be the hard part. Keeping them working will be more expensive than paying people to make food for a halfway decent wage. The necessary logistics system just to supply replacement parts for the machines will probably break the bank, and never mind all the technicians they'll need to make repairs.
Something something McDonalds milkshake machines.
The difference os that yhe milkshake machines are an actual gift because Taylor gets paid to repair the things. Some exec at McDonald's is getting massive kickbacks to force everyone to use shitty machines that need to be professionally maintained.
