Diners and quick-service restaurants in Ottumwa, IA: kitchen and payroll funding
A sit-down restaurant pays servers and hosts as well as cooks, and its dining room needs booths, tables and a host stand; a counter-service kitchen spends its money on fryers, a griddle, a walk-in cooler and the order screens.
