Time-dilated kitchen

Here's a weird science-fiction idea: if the kitchen at a restaurant was on a different timeline, it might be possible to put an order in and get the food straight out again from our point of view. Inside the kitchen, time would be passing at a normal rate but the dining floor would be moving glacially slow. The main problem would be keeping the cooks occupied for the in-between times and paying them for weeks of work every night. I suppose the solution to that would be to run the time dilation device only when an order is up. So the cooks stand around waiting for an order, then zip through it on fast forward, and go back to waiting again.

PS - Now that would look very strange.
PPS - And probably the food in storage would spoil faster.
