C1 Espresso
Christchurch, New Zealand
We're not typically big fans of gimmicks, especially when it comes to food — we want our stuff to be fresh and taste good, and that's usually all that's required — but the new food delivery system at C1 Espresso was simply too outlandish to pass up. Instead of relying on waiters or waitresses to bring you your goodies, this Christchurch spot will soon deliver stacks of sliders and fries in stainless steel canisters that fly above and/or below your table in pneumatic tubes at speeds of up to 87 mph. Insert poorly conceived fast food pun here. Housed in a former post office, the place also boasts a secret bathroom door and arcade machines — but it's the high-speed snacks that are the real draw.
