i think it would be interesting to see more places lean into this. personally, I would gladly give up my apartment's kitchen in exchange for a staffed central building kitchen
the chefs there are probably better cooks than me anyway
- ghaff 3y agoI would find eating out all the time to get very old. Even a stovetop and refrigerator would help a lot. I'm fine when I'm traveling--though I like a refrigerator--but I have the advantage of knowing it's not an open-ended thing.
- ska 3y agoLots of these sort of rooms have a kitchenette, with at least a cooktop and small fridge. At least the more modern versions The are bigger also, and sometimes suites (e.g. a separated bedroom). I think some of the older ones had shared kitchens, more like a dorm setup.
- solatic 3y agoThe central dining rooms in such places are more like college, corporate, or hospital cafeterias, there's usually healthier options available and the focus is decidedly tilted towards cost-savings vs. offerings that compete with high-end restaurants. I'd dare say most people are better off eating from such a cafeteria for 80-90% of their meals, so long as they have the option 10-20% of the time to go out and get something different to switch things up.
