12 years ago I was in Japan working
At night we used to go down the slop shop to eat with the locals. There was a ticket machine outside next to a huge table laid out with plastic model of every plate on the menu. You inserted your Yen and pressed the corresponding button and received a ticket. You took the ticket inside to the counter and sat down.
After watching it being cooked a bell rang and you were given it to eat.
They were/are very popular (cheap and nutritious).
[they think westerners are mental BTW]
Oh and they had ISDN ports at the tables in Macky Dees (Usually with the end of a french fry sticking out of them)
