I was wondering if someone was going to say Automat.

>whatever that conveyor-belt concept is

I know the last one you might think is Japanese if you're young or a weeb, but I'm old so I remember going to an actual restaurant like that.

It had mechanical push-buttons on a little turret at the table, and you pressed the Bakelite buttons then the food came by on a tray with your table number on it.

I've never been to an actual Automat, but I've seen an abandoned one.

Cafeterias are the easiest concept because no machines and people don't need to be educated to stand in a line with trays. Plus you can see the people make your food in the ones I've been at.

I've been thinking of trying to start a business like that, I think the concept's time has come back.
