Today’s picture captures the Orange Drive-In’s snack bar and staff (circa late 1940′s?). As with most drive-ins, the Orange operated a cafeteria style snack bar, with patrons passing along a stationed service line, before checking out at the register; another, larger, stand was built when the venue added a second screen in the late 60′s. A big money maker in it’s day, your typical drive-in snack bar could pull in as much as 40% of a location’s gross receipts, despite the viewing format’s relatively loose outside food/drink policy.
