Baristas also deserve to be hand fed by an influencer looking to make 5 trillion views from charity porn.

      ok, so theres a restaurant where you can go up to the trough and grab food that you want and go to cashier and then they ring it up. thats one solution and was basically how all restaurants were ran in czechoslovakia during socialist times, they were run like cafeterias. sometimes in simpler restaurants the cook and cashier were the same. what is unnecessary is having 20 waiters to handle 60 tables or whatever when you could just have a cashier or two. its common for most big chains to have a lot of waiters like that.

      there are other methods, like you can just check in as soon as you enter a building and get the food yourself. this has become common in a lot of areas so you can spend your cash on kitchen staff to improve food quality. also common at all you can eats.

          in czechoslovakia cafeterias were super fancy, not typical cheap fare like you get in usa commonly. for allergies you could order direct but most people are fine with what is on the bar so it cuts down on work for the kitchen staff. had a long talk with my grandma about this subject once actually

          and yeah it is possible to order via phone, theres this one place i go to ran by a small family from rural china and you can call them up and theyll leave a box with your name on it near the door. you pick it up and leave cause theyre covid conscious. i asked them about how many meals they make and they said they get hundreds of orders per day and can handle it with just 2-3 people because they dont seat people

              yeah my grandma said she went to one cafeteria and it was sort of like a pub / cafeteria where you could hang out after work / on downtime and it was walking distance from the fertilizer plant she worked at. built a sense of community. was extremely fancy, had nice lighting, hardwood floors, you can get to know the chef and staff because they arent working all the time because they make most food in bulk not to order. people would buy the staff alcohol all the time at the end of the day in the pub part because it was cheap. stops alienation from happening, food was good and affordable. it was built inside a nice scenic little park with a pond and a bunch of picnic tables. very popular with the workers nearby and my grandma was on a first name basis with maybe 200 people because of this?

      I've been to restaurants where you go up to a counter place your order and then later they yell when your food is ready for you to get it
