Fascinating insights into an abstract idea, as you said, it is rather like a precursor to touch screen ordering. I don't think it would make a comeback, as pretty much the same thing exists with people ordering their meals over smartphones. Thank you for sharing!
Last year i stopped by a diner in a tiny middle of nowhere town and they had this system! Thought it was a cute gimmick, had no idea this was a surviving dinosaur lol
wowowowowow!! great video!! I like the idea and the editing is nice. one thing tho I think you should have on screen subtitles for the interview sections of the people talking about the restaurants but that's a personal thing lmao. great video!!!! :D
I thought about it!! I was just lazy and I knew the interviews were fairly small LOL. But I'll probably do that in future projects with low quality phone calls.
There used to be a Sonic near me with one of these systems. I kinda figured it was just another gimmick since this location didn't have the usual drive-thru setup you normally find at Sonics. It was kind of strange because the only times I remember seeing employees were when they were bringing out food. They didn't have an order counter or anything, just a single door leading to the kitchen. The phones had only a single red button that you pushed to order. No fancy hold music, just a dial tone until someone answered. Unfortunately, they remodeled the place recently and took out all the phones and made it into a more traditional place like a McDonalds.
So it’s exactly the same as modern places with an iPad to order in the table (I see them a lot in sushi places). Good that the phone version didn’t last, I can’t imagine a worse hell than having the customer being able to call you directly when you’re trying to cook

I've seen this at an indoor Sonic burger place. Phones at tables.
