How do restaurants and food establishments prepare food so quickly?

724 viewsOther

And I’m not talking about fast-food joints like macdonald’s. I’m talking about your everyday restaurants, especially asian restaurants where they have many dishes. How do they take your order and have it cooked and out in a reasonable timeframe? (Less than 10mins waiting time)

Constantly cooking and prep cooking. Different items are always in different stages of cooking during lunch and dinner rush. Things like veggies take less than a minute in the microwave in steamer bags. Mashed potatoes and the like are kept hot and ready in big “steam” water baths. So nothing really takes more than 10 minutes from the stage it’s in to make it to your table, but many chain resteraunts have built in timers to space out the order just right: Apatizers, Salads, entrée. At a local kitchen they may not have this but the servers and kitchen work even better together to maintain a flow.
