Interesting article exploring the evolving food  and beverage service and offerings, particularly from the perspective of kitchen equipment and labor reduction techniques:

Really cool story. Thanks for sharing the link.

An in-depth insight into the current state of F&B at parks these days! I'd be interested to see more into how much farther some of these parks can go in food innovation. The ordering/serving/order tracking technology at the Six Flags parks is what I would like to see improved next. I can't tell you the amount of times I've been somewhere like Tom+Chee or Rivertown Potato Works and could not understand what order was being served. Put an order number on each receipt (make sure each customer takes their receipt) and have a screen showing order status at these dining locations, and that would solve most of the issues. Mobile ordering should also be (re)implemented across some of the dining locations in each park. Kings Island tried this out for a little bit, but ultimately it did not work because the necessary resources were not put into it. 

Hopefully any innovation will speed up the food lines at the parks.
