Couldnt they program the robots compartment to lock itself until it reaches the destination? Then require the person to scan a QR code from when they placed the order to unlock it and get their food.
People will still be able to knock over the robots, disabling them from reaching their destination.

I want to say just have somebody escort the robot and if somebody knocks it over and steals the stuff beat the shit out of them, but they'd be better off with that guy delivering.

But itd at least stop people from stealing the food. Have it automatically contact the police if someone flips it over.
Then the idiots that flipped the thing will just smash it with rocks or whatever they could get their hands on.

When the cops comes, they will probably be back on the street before the night is over.

This kind of automation is going to need a lot more security measures before it's viable.

Maybe a top-mounted gun turret full of pepper balls, or something. But if the thieves are crafty, they might just hold up a plate of free hot wings and get extra pepper sauce by using them as a shield.

The security exists. Corporations just need to be willing to spend some money on it.

This is a false narrative. It crossed a few states before it got to Philly in Pennsylvania, and through Pennsylvania itself.
It was only in Philly where it ended up headless, and wireless in mere hours.

I'm surprised they're that easy to open up. You think having a secure locking system to prevent people from accessing the food, thus minimizing vandalism, would be one of the key points. You'd still have assholes and crazy people messing with them, but definitely not to that extent.

You think that's weird, there's an E-scooter business in my city that doesn't have any pick up or drop off points. You see them litered all over the place. They run out of juice because they have a built-in solar panel that's supposed to charge the battery, but it's so small it doesn't work very well. I have also noticed that they are slowly disappearing... Shocking, I know.

You understand there's are a TON of people who can afford to eat but can still be struggling and want free food right

Also I guarantee there are rich assholes who would do this in a heartbeat if they were hungry
