In 1888, Joe Horn and Frank Hardart opened their first Horn & Hardart restaurant on 13th Street near Chestnut in Philadelphia. Fourteen years later, the H&H location at 818 Chestnut St. — which still bears a neon sign — was outfitted with an Automat, a German-engineered tech marvel that turned H&H into a “waiterless restaurant.”USD. Horn & Hardart was a food services company in the United States noted for operating the first food service automats in Philadelphia, New York City, and Baltimore. [1] Philadelphia's Joseph Horn (1861–1941) and German-born, New Orleans -raised Frank Hardart (1850–1918) opened their first restaurant in Philadelphia, on December 22, 1888. Although Horn & Hardart operated in just two cities, the firm was one of the world's largest restaurateurs well into midcentury. But management was slow to respond to changes in America’s eating habits. Horn & Hardart clung too long to their old downtown locations while their former customers moved out to suburban malls.
