> Why does a restaurant company like Chick-fil-A want to deploy Kubernetes at the Edge? What are the goals? That, we can answer.

I like their priorities. I've had too many experiences at other fast food restaurants where they're having some kind of computer issue and can't take any orders, so everyone is made to wait.

I also like the reliability-focused thinking that acknowledges that the internet isn't always there and designs for it.
