As promised, the pictures from JFK Terminal 5. Here's the asian place:
And a close-up of the POS terminal at Cheeburger Cheeburger:
What's odd is that there is no obvious instruction poster anywhere informing you of the procedure. It's actually very simple- you place your food order on the terminal after which it tells you your order number (but does not give you a printed receipt.) They make the food and call your number. You pick up the food and go to the drinks counter in the middle, get your drink, and then go to the checkout counter behind that. Still, every time I've been through there (about a half-dozen) I've always had to explain to at least one confused-looking person how the system works. I imagine these are the same people who waited in line for a half-hour to get their tickets despite the fact that there were a dozen self-service ticket machines available. "Yes, you can use the machine even if you have luggage. Yes, you can use the machine even if you didn't book your flight online." The fact that you can pick your own seats from a graphical view of the cabin makes it worthwhile and then some. Second exit row aisle FTW.

Hmmm... WAWA has had you ordering at a touch-screen for years. Run in, order your sandwich, run out, pump gas, run in, pick up sandwich and pay for gas at same time. Genius... except for the douchebags who leave their car sitting at the pump for 20minutes and wait until after getting gas to go order their sandwich... I ******* HATE THOSE ********!

how italian are you?
the Arbys in california had touchscreens back in the early 90s. They were absolutely pointless because nobody who eats at arby's had any idea what they were so the staff would just reach their asses over the counter and type in the **** upside down. very high tech.

Now if fast food used a fleet or robots to make the food I would be happy. Perfectly made sandwiches every time. No thrown together **** that looks like they threw the stuff on the bun from across the kitchen.
