Table for 6,014, please...

A new 6014 seater restaurant has opened in Syria. According to the BBC,

During the busy summer months up to 1,800 staff are employed in the 54,000 sq-m dining area and 2,500 sq-m kitchen.

There is some nice economics in the short article:

“The secret of feeding so many people is to divide up the restaurant into smaller sections and every person in the restaurant has their own task to fulfil,” Mr Samman (the owner’s son and the general manager of the Damascus Gate) told the BBC. “The kitchen is a like a production line, he says, where one chef can prepare 25-30 helpings of popular dishes, such as hummus, in one minute - that’s one bowl every two seconds.”

The division of labour in action - Adam Smith would be so proud!
