In 1951, Peterson opened a restaurant with the head of a clown giant at the top of the building, imitating a box of surprises. The owner called the local Jack in the Box, and soon introduced the name in its other locations.

The restaurant was succeeded by his order service drive. To expedite the preparation of menus, the consumer had an intercom and you order your food and a stop order to collect, rather than a single window. The efficiency of this service had commercial success was emulated by other fast food restaurants, and allowed Peterson could open up to 180 locations in different cities of the West Coast. Instead of implementing a franchise system, all local Jack in the Box were controlled by a conglomerate run by the founder, called Foodmaker Co. More
