Follow the Europeans and let McDonalds do it. Subcontract it out to
them and then they are the ones who worry about how it can be done.

Not such as silly idea as it might sound. Who would have thought ten
years ago that the long distance QR and Indian Pacific [I think?]
catering is or was contracted out to Qantas or it it P&O?

McDonald's bacon & egg Mcmuffin or their scrambled eggs "big
Breakfast" or even those hot cakes are ok compared to the microwave
reheated bacon & egg rolls offered on some trains now?
