A median food ticket is on screen 5:53 = 2:05 waiting + 3:58 cooking. Cooking is roughly on target across most stations; the drag is coordination/wait.

Cooking = start-button to bump. Waiting = fired to start-button. Start-btn = share of tickets where a prep start was logged; low values mean the split isn't reliable and the button is being skipped.
