The dining halls are kinda making a comeback in a lot of places. That’s also the food truck model. We have tons of places in my town with smaller kitchens in a centralized dining hall, that are basically just local versions of a mall food court.

Turns out it’s a lot easier to maintain when there’s a dozen or so restaurants sharing resources and centralizing customers.

Food trucks are great too because they can go to their customers and prevent people going to them. Also really good to have in emergency situations, since they basically just need gas and a generator and can cook food. Plus you can move them away from floods and danger.
