Haha, can you imagine a restaurant trying the 'chase' strategy? They'd be running around the kitchen all day trying to keep up with orders. That's a recipe for disaster!

Chase strategy? For a restaurant? That's like chasing your own tail. You need to be proactive, not reactive, in the food industry.

Subcontracting? For a restaurant? I don't know, that seems like a strange choice. Maybe if they're outsourcing their catering or something.

Definitely going with hybrid. Restaurants need to be flexible and adapt to changing customer demands, so a mixed approach makes the most sense.
