I worked at Chuck E. Cheese's, and I remember that the order
displays were definitely raster B&W's there. It was a
different chain from Showbiz, though.

The letters were big and very blocky, and did not rotate.
When a new order would come in, it would flash the two digit
number on the whole screen, otherwise they would just sit on
the screen about 6 or so in a row, and about 4 rows.
These were packaged in black boxes.

I wish I could remember the Showbiz monitors :)
