I mean, most food doesn't take too long to cook, and the bulk of the work is just prep, which is amortized by the kitchen.

As a specific example: at a place which only does burritos, they batch up a big pot of rice, a big pot of beans, lots of lettuce, big pots of various different meats, and so on. Then it takes you about a minute from walking in to paying, as they just semi-toast a wrap and then fill it with all the pre-made ingredients. The ingredient preparation can be done in parallel with service, too.
Also, we've found preparing the meals to be a great couple activity. Normally, I wouldn't say this about cooking - my wife and I tend to run the kitchen alone when the muse strikes - but having clearcut instructions and not worrying about shopping makes cooperation fun and easy.
