    For me, a community kitchen would be just a big industrial kitchen with all the basic ingredients and kitchen equipment. Anyone can come in and cook whatever they want and share with others. Leftovers go in the walk-in and are available to anyone.

    I love to cook but I despised being a line cook and making things to order. Being able to cook a big batch of whatever I want and share with others, anyone free to help with prep, trading recipes, etc without the pressure of constant tickets rolling in would be a dream for me.

      There will absolutely still be made to order restaurants. Not everyone is into cooking or knows someone into cooking. And people definitely want to be able to go out somewhere and order something.

      A big part of that pressure comes from capitalism. To maximize profits they must maximize customers served while minimizing labor expenses. Without profit motive a restaurant could have less seating and/or more cooks.

        I think it would be a little more like a cafeteria style food hall (which often includes areas where you can order something)

      nobody wants to cook in a community kitchen that sounds like it would suck.
