What is the slot machine?
The slot machine was really the first fast food served in a different way than a modern fast food restaurant. Instead of placing an order with a treasurer, customers face ranks of sales vending machines where they could drop their nickels and get freshly prepared meals such as Potpia or goulash. People preparing food supplied meals. The machine usually contained the kitchen behind the series that held for supply. The first popular in Europe, slot machines came to the US in 1902 with the first opening in Philadelphia.
There were many differences between the automatic and today's fast food restaurant. First of all, the use of real meals, glasses and cups that serve food instead of today's paper package or cartons that most fast food restaurants employ. The choice of food in the US tend to reflect traditional comfortable meals. In addition to meals such as goulash or chopped, sandwiches and soup were also popular. The earliest slot machines contained a cashier that took the nickelY for each item, but as the coins operated by the slot machines have become popular, the treasen were gradually eliminated.
competition from fast food restaurants eventually led to the demise of the machine. However, there are several other reasons why these comfortable restaurants in the US have become less popular. First you are driving in restaurants and the windows ride has become a popular way to get food, and you didn't have to leave the car or with others. In addition, food has become too expensive to buy nickels or even quarters, and the ability of sales vending machines not taking dollars was not widely available. The last original automatic in the US closed the trade in 1991.
In Europe, there were also vending machines in popularity, but remain popular in the Netherlands. The most successful of these is the FEBO vending machine, which combines the counter -service service with sales vending machines.Standard available options include things like hamburgers, croquettes and fries. You will find FeBo -distributed machines throughout the Netherlands with more than 100 seats.
The success of FeBo and the Netherlands in general and nostalgia for these comfortable restaurants in the US have forced Robert Kwak, David Leong and NEBU Nguyen to try to reopen the US. In 2006, restaurant, Bamn! The machine was opened in New York. Food is not provided for dishes and there are no tables in this modern interpretation. Most foods are portable "snacks" items such as fried mozzarell bars or chicken nuggets. The treasurer is at hand to serve food such as ice cream with soft service and French fries.
