Right. The customers should waits for a least 10 minutes while they are cooking the foods and I didn't have any complaining at all. I decide that I order a meals at dinner or lunch that we can choose. If the restaurant is too extremely busy and they should have keep patience while the server is busy with others customers and they should keep concentrate on the customers to asks the server for what they want to eat for dinners tonight. They should have to keep aware of the customers who likes to eat Italian or Chinese and any kind of those stuffs.

What kind of meal/course? Why do you ask? There's no generally. It varies 100% based on where it is, what it is, what you ordered, how busy they are, who you are with, etc.

For a server coming to your table to get you drinks, I agree, but for food, no. Different menu items have different cooking times. If a table that was seated 10 minutes after you ordered two wraps for example, or rare steaks, that will be ready a hell of a lot quicker then your well done steak or chicken breast.

If I don't have a drink order taken in 10 minutes I'm leaving.
Food takes as much time to prepare as it takes. Depends on what you order, no ?
An experienced diner knows that a Caesar salad is faster than a Chateaubriand.

But the difference is less if you prefer your Chateaubriand cooked rare.
