From the July, 1903 Scientific American magazine:
“To the American, who is now so accustomed to mechanical contrivances that he no longer is astonished by them, the automatic restaurant is but the logical development of the vending machine. This establishment, in New York City, is fitted up elaborately. Its electric lights, its dazzling mirrors, and its resplendent marble outshine everything on Broadway. On the upper floor the patrons purchase what they desire; in the basement the food is cooked, and lifted to the floor above by means of small elevators.”
