Gilbert Huiit, director of in dustrial design for the com pany, said diners will sit at a semi-circular table and order their meals simply by push ing a button. Anyway from a cup of coffee to a five-course meal will appear out of the wall. For single diners, the table, complete with food, dishes, sil verware and all, will pop up with a push of the thumb. About the only person in the restaurant will be the cash ier," said Hunt. "And the set up can be arranged so that customers can pay electroni cally by credit card." . . .At the other end of the push button, about 250 frozen pre cooked meals will be stored in the kitchen: When the custo mer orders, the meals are moved into radar range and within seconds are ready to serve piping hot. ... An electronic brain will keep track of food supplies and only one attendant will be required to fill the empty racks to feed 32 diners at one -time. ?
