How much prep time did each one take? And are the chefs kept busy so you have economy of scale, or are they spending a lot of time waiting for the next order? | |

| Apr 3, 2013 at 21:46 | comment | added | SAJ14SAJ | The only way to answer this would be to poll a statistically significant number of restaurants of both types, and get them to give their average food cost per seat. Since restaurants are unlikely to disclose their food cost (since it tends to be about 1/4 to 1/3 of the menu price), and since small restaurants may not even have the accounting to know their food cost on a dish by dish basis, it is unlikely to be possible to produce a true answer to this question. | |
