Thought some people might get a kick out of this. It kind of reminds me of those sushi-boat restaurants. Thoughts?

Very interesting! Two questions spring immediately to mind though:

1. Can the "delivery" system target individual diners or just tables (I assume the latter, and the coloured sticker allows everyone at the table to figure out who should get the food)

2. What do you do with your dirty dishes?

Anyway I'd love to try it!

LOL, everything old is new again.

Reminds me of the department stores back in the 30s and 40s that had a central accounting office / cashier. You'd pay for your purchases at the counter, and a hyrdrolic type roller coaster would wisk away your money in a tube on a track only to return the tube a couple of minutes later with your change inside. Sometimes you can see evidence of these in older department stores (there is one on the Montreal West Island, although no longer operational) or in the movies.

What do they mean by ONLY bratwurst?!! :)
