Horn & Hardart opened its first Automat eatery in 1902 to serve good dishes cheaply. Three nickels inserted in slot, a twist of the knob, and presto! — the glass ..
These Restaurants required no counter help.
You picked the food you wanted behind Glass enclosed dispensers by putting your money in a slot and the door would open and you would take you food to your table.

Who is going to cook the food and put it behind the glass door?
