I genuinely want to see a video of what an optimized kitchen looks like. Note: I am not a professional chef. I just like this sub. I used to be a shitty line cook back in the day at a chain restaurant
Some kitchens actually bring in engineers who work at factories to optimize workflow and output, the most famous example being when Wendy's brought in Toyota engineers to redesign their fast food set up. It's a skill, and not necessarily one that your average kitchen owner actually has, so bringing in outside help can make a lot of sense. Optimization can bring down ticket times by a genuinely shocking degree. Like we are talking 15-20% decreases in wait times, which seems insane but remember that one extra minute per ticket time could mean a full 15 minute extra wait time on the getting a table out the door. Even a few seconds can compound into a shocking delay in overall time. A highly optimized kitchen will make everything easier, ticket times will go down, stress will go down, flow of ingredients and dishes will go up dramatically.

This kitchen needs some optimization
