I feel like the food court queue would move way faster if 1) they kept a buffer of 5-6 assembled hotdogs ready and 2) the employee managing the order slips would just reach over and hand out hotdogs whenever a hotdog order appears in the queue.

Like, while waiting for the other employees to make the chicken tenders or ice-cream cones etc, the employee at the front could be scanning the order queue and handing out hotdogs.

Then once people see that hotdog-only orders get served faster, more people would just get hotdogs and this would in turn speed up the queue for everyone else. A virtuous cycle!
