Sueshiro, which made headlines earlier this year for suing a teenager who posted a viral video online that showed him committing unhygienic acts at one of the chain's outlets, such as putting saliva on a dish of sushi before it was served to another customer, has introduced a large touchscreen to virtually showcase its dishes instead of having plates of actual sushi parading past diners.




 
That's a good idea. I bet it helps with the impulse purchases. Easier than drilling down in a menu.
 
We go to this place now and then. It says conveyor belt, but it's always been different than that. At the tables you order via a touch screen, and then several minutes later your order is delivered on a 'shinkansen'. From where it was made, it zips right to your table, up to four plates on two cars, then push a return button when you've offloaded it. There are two levels to each table, serving multiple tables that way. The cars move fast, it would not be possible to touch one coming past your table to the next group--it would knock things all over.

Larger orders (sets, various soups) are delivered by hand. Their takeout is also good.
