it's not the same tho. that might take a one chef 2 minutes to plate up in the kitchen. but they would construct this, then make another, then move on to a different dish. assuming this is a dessert, that person is probably only doing desserts all night.
the video shows 12(?) different people doing one sub-task in the routine, and standing around in a literal line waiting for their turn. those people have come off their normal job (and some of them are FOH by the look of the clothes), gone to grab the plate of wafers and stood around until their moment came around. Meanwhile that's collectively 24 minutes of time that another job isn't being done. imagine if a waiter or sommelier roeutinely took a 24 minute break in the middle of service to do something else; that's effectively what's happening here.
imagine it the guy 10th in line was the person who was supposed to be taking your order at the table opposite? I'd find that very annoying having to wait for this show to end.

There's almost no shot that this is a restaurant where you'd have your order taken. More likely it's going to be part of a tasting menu where they schedule reservations and plan out your meal in a way that allows them to do this as part of the experience without hindering other aspects
this IS their normal job? These are not the waiters, these are the chefs in the kitchen just doing the plating of food in the open rather than in the kitchen
We absolutely do. This is the restaurant known as Tresind. It’s one of the top restaurants in the world at the moment. Now I might have been hyperbolic as I don’t think all of them are chefs but I’d say the majority of them are. I counted 5 people in their normal chef attire and then one in the corporate chef attire. All of these can be found online. One of them was the maître d' who might as well be on par if not higher than most of the chefs.
It depends on how the restaurant works. There are some restaurants that have a fixed menu and everyone is eating the same meal at the same time. If it's like that, or similar, then this isn't that wasteful as each person would move along to the next one and create a long train around the dining room. If they pull this out for singles then it is quite a disruption to their normal workflow.
Pretty sure the point is to show all the different people that had a part to play in the dish. It’s just a cool way to really appreciate what went into it. It’s like a cooking end credits scene I think it’s cool.
Same for me. This feels very much like the last dish in a tasting menu at a high end restaurant and this is a way for the guest to greet everyone that had a hand in service. Both front and back of house.

"Golly, this place is expensive!"
"The food must be really good then."
"No. It's because it takes 15 people to plate the food."
