I have a restaurant near me that was refurbished with an open view kitchen and with a very much modern take / new style Indian feel about it. The menu also includes many thing not usually found on a BIR menu. The old favourites are still available but this makes the menu quite sizable.

The problem with having such a large menu is much of it will have to be pre-cooked in order to be able to serve it when busy. This is quite a large restaurant too and despite it's fairly large open kitchen, sadly, you can clearly see dishes being microwaved!

Of course it begs the question as to why they have an open view kitchen when they are clearly microwaving dishes. How many I do not know but I never go there anymore.

 

wfo Jerry?

But I don't necessarily agree with this.ses.

Can I ask you to re-read my comment, I think you'll find we are on the same track.

Phil, I didn't mention supermarkets, just your regular BIR/TA I am sure there are exceptions. 

I haven't tried, but i'm sure you could make a flat version keeping in mind the points I made above. Having read back my comments, I am embarrassed at my dyslexic typing, it seems to be getting worse.
