Honestly? Sounds awful. Industrialized, lowest common denominator fast food. Plus pretty much any time I've eaten at a big restaurant offering options from a bunch of different cuisines, the experience has been somewhere between mediocre and awful.

ADDED: As others have pointed out, you can put together something that's effectively managed like a high-end food court. But it seems as if the economics are tough.

My experience has been that the more things on the menu the worse the lower quality the food is, however it can be executed successfully. Wegmans, one of the grocers in the area has a huge variety of prepared food options. Despite the number of dishes, the quality is consistently high. They put a substantial effort into developing an entre before it goes into stores, and also own a few restaurants that probably help with this. Just one example of how it can be executed successfully.

Yep, sounds like one step above Soylent.
