The time taken to take your order and deliver your meal is inversely proportionate (ie much greater than) than the time they allow you to eat and digest your courses before you get the hell out of our restaurant, we need the table.

And don't forget: when in immediate need of food, light up a cigarette (whether or not you smoke) and everything you ordered will suddenly appear.

The time for food to be ordered, served and consumed in restaurants is also logarithmically proportional to the number of people in the dinner party. Typical values are:
1 person = 30 minutes
2 people = 45 minutes
4 people = 60 minutes
8 people = 75 minutes
and so on.

Unless everyone orders salads first, of course, in which case the main courses should be ready 25 minutes BEFORE the salads.
