How do restaurants and food establishments prepare food so quickly?

Question

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)

Answer 1

The restaurant I worked at started prep at 10 am, we did not open until 5 pm. The food takes a long time to make but most of it is done beforehand.
