A customer orders x.. The kitchen starts preparing it.. But in few seconds another guy orders the same dish.. Do they start fresh for the next order? Chime on the previous order . What’s the strategy?

Cook that does exactly this here: it’s pretty much exactly how you describe it. Cooking things ahead of time that won’t likely be ordered will just result in wasted food, so we only start the final preparation of the dish (grilling meat, plating) once the order comes in.
Under normal operation this means for every new bill you’ll begin cooking the new dish(es) independently of the previous ones. If you’re backed up however you might bundle multiple orders together to save on trips to the cooler, space in the oven etc.
Note that this only applies to the final preparation of the dish. Everything that can be done without having to throw (substantial amounts of) it out if not many people order it is made ahead of time to a certain quantity determined by how much we expect we will need, with some extra in case of anomalies.
