It is amazing how any change you could make to the system would make it work better. Like, low paying jobs might not be able to stay in operation with wages increasingly like this. Good, we don’t need another shitty resteruant that underpaid their workers
Restaurants all just need to be publicly operated and subsidized so they can keep in business even if they run at a loss, it’s the only way to ensure fair wages to the workers while also not forcing them into a situation where they have to be 100% on costs and food waste or they’ll get run out of business
Restaurants don’t need to be profit making engines, the important thing is keeping people fed
100% this. Restaurants are good things actually. They free people of the domestic labour of food prep and clean up. For many this may be a pleasure activity, but for many others it is just another task, which across society falls disproportionately on women. And is a difficult task for many less able individuals. (For example I injured my leg and had to cook sitting down for a while - it was eye opening to see how difficult the simple act of food prep had become for me during that time) In an ideal society we would be able to visit restaurants (canteens) regularly and get good quality cheap nutritious meals made by staff who are fairly compensated for their labour - not exploited for it by petite bourgeois business owners and giant multinational corporations.
I know soviet did cafeteria like that in some places. I think the resteraunt is just not sustainable as a form of eatery. I want like automats to come back
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.
True, though, I wonder what it’d feel to have like… different restaurants with different ‘specialization’? Like, for example, there’s the chicken focused one, the vegan focused one, or a general one and what that’d look like in branding and stuff…?
Think mall food court, but not owned by the shittiest landlord in town. Or centralized stalls for food trucks that can all serve at one central court, or dispatch to events or other locations to serve food.

Honestly I’ve learnt this naturally because of my AuDHD, and that when I’m actually trying (which is very rare) I know how my body works and can plan (like the 90 minutes work, short break, repeat) somewhat, it’s just… maybe I’m a little too loose on what I do in some aspects? Maybe I just haven’t had time to ‘test’ it? I still am at school nowadays, and while before, I struggled to manage time due to… personal stressful reasons and so got agonizingly good at ‘keeping up’ with school work. Once I had to actually make my own plan and actually plan long-term, which is kinda now, the thought of ‘regaining time lost’ (in countless what I’d call ‘emergency burnout cramming measures’) is tempting and I’ve been doing it… But I’ve tried to also revert to a schedule I’d feel more productive in, and its been conflicting and… uh… yeah a struggle, and this is why 4 hrs should be default so I don’t have to think about it lol
TLDR: 4 hr workday cool, but I struggle in following it but hope to continue in it.
