That depends what you understand by “start fresh”.

It’s like when you get a takeaway pizza. They don’t start chopping veg and grating cheese when you order. That shit was done hours ago, so all they have to do when you come in and order a pizza is a bit of assembly, and they can have your pizza in the oven within a minute or so.

Most restaurant kitchens try to do the same: they spend mornings and afternoons setting everything up so they only need to do the last couple of preparation steps during the lunch- and dinnertime rushes.
