Why bother trying to describe your perfect, nitpicky burger over the counter when you could just order one with your face?
Caliburger launched a new point-of-sale system on Tuesday that lets customers order using facial recognition technology. (This isn't the first time the American fast food chain has gone high tech -- it previously welcomed a burger-flipping robot called Flippy.)
The first time customers order using the in-store kiosks, they’ll be prompted to attach their face to their account using NeoFace biometric facial recognition software.

You still have to use your credit card for now, but the company hopes to replace this with face-only payment by 2018.
The machines are being tested at one store in Pasadena, near Los Angeles, but the company is keen to expand the technology across the U.S. and internationally, if customers enjoy the new service.

It may be a first for the U.S., but facial recognition point-of-sale kiosks have been up and running in China since September. A KFC restaurant in Hangzhou has been testing a "smile to pay" facial recognition payment system, developed by third-party mobile and online payment platform Alipay.
What a time to be alive and order a cheeseburger with no ketchup and extra pickles on a gluten-free bun.
