The robot bartenders at the Miracle Mile Shops and champagne-dispensing vending machines at the Waldorf Astoria might lead one to believe that conveyor belt restaurants are just another automated dining trend, but the idea has actually been around for decades. In 1958, restaurateur Yoshiaki Shiraishi opened Genroku Sangyo in Osaka, the first-ever kaiten zushi (Japanese for rotating sushi) restaurant in the world. Inspired by the recent sight of a bottling line at a brewery, he adapted the idea to provide diners with an efficient, affordable sushi delivery system. Genroku Sangyo went on to be franchised all over Japan and eventually led to the appearance of conveyor belt dining options across the world — many of which serve more than just sushi. Diners interested in experiencing this futuristic concept with a surprisingly long history can find conveyor belt restaurants at these Las Vegas establishments.
