Depends on the place and the dish because prep should be done for everything and most ingredients are pretty readily on hand it often doesn't make much of a difference. If you're a place that doesn't do a lot of deep frying then a bunch of slop orders that have to go through the sole deep fryer in the kitchen can thrown things off. There are simple slop meals that are a pain and seemingly fancy shit that's deceptively easy to throw together if you're going through enough to prep components in bulk. Overall it basically breaks even and I do genuinely want people to have a solid meal and get their money's worth, it's expensive as fuck.
I feel like most of this stuff is actually easier to cook, in which case they would be glad when someone orders from it
