I feel like there’s a good spoof restaurant to be made around the theme of bureaucracy or, more specifically, dealing with vendors in the corporate world. Experiences one might have at such a restaurant:

• Conventional menus would be replaced with brochures with vague descriptions of products and services in fuzzy marketing speak (e.g. “has been an industry leader in culinary solutions for the past ten years”).
• Prices will not be listed in the menus. Customers will need to request quotes. Preferably by fax.
• Ordering would have to take place by way of purchase orders and elaborate paperwork. Again, faxing is preferred.
• Different vendors/waiters could offer basically identical food/service at radically different prices and lead times for no apparent reason.
• There will never be a centralized source of information for anything. Customers will be deflected from manufacturers to distributors to local representatives. Local representatives will be absent for random intervals with no warning.
• Similarly, it should be basically impossible to get a straight answer about anything. “Local representatives” should insist on scheduling sales presentations instead.
• There should be as many people involved in the ordering/delivery process as possible to minimize the probability of the customer actually getting what they ordered.
• Orders might sometimes be outsourced to neighboring restaurants.

I’m not sure how much of the world has exposure to this process, but I’m hoping the restaurant experience would be entertaining for those who do.
