Thu. Jan 31, 1957 Delaware County Times (Chester, Pennsylvania) CHESTER - Shooster’s Drive-In Restaurant, 9th, and Flower sts., has added a touch of automation to its carhop service with a “Fone-A-Chef system. Customers park by the two-car “station,” make their selections from illuminated menus and press a button on the two-way speaker. When an operator answers the customer gives his order. When the speaker is not in use as a communica- tions unit, it reproduces music from the high-fi- delity record player that functions automatically. the car hop delivers food in one trip. When fin- ished, the customer puts the tray on the stations’ chrome rack, restores the speaker to its holder, and leaves.
