I think this was a bad initiative. It was ill-conceived. Departments were asked during DRAP—and these were austerity measures, which I am assuming were legitimate—to provide some savings. This is one where the status quo would have been much better.
I am very skeptical that there were any savings, based on what I have seen. It was highly disruptive and had negative impact, including cutting down on the employment opportunities and job opportunities that a regular kitchen would provide. It's very unfortunate, I would say.
