Sorry Andy, but that's tacky! More like an upscale burger joint. I
remember a place in Memphis called 'Round the Corner' in the 1990's where
you would phone your order from the booth. The light would flash when your
order was ready and you had to go pick it up at the counter. It was a
decent place for burgers and sandwiches, don't get me wrong, but a gimmick.
Really nothing spectacular for a sit-down place. They'll do the same thing
at Burger King or Hardee's except they call out your ticket number,Kind of
like going to the DMV It's really not a great business plan.

So they don't have a coat check room if it's summer and raining?
