Do food courts with multiple restaurants share food? e.g. is there a common shipping and storage area? I've never walked behind the food court in the mall. But just wondering if, behind the restaurants fascia, the individual restaurants are receiving incoming food shipments together. e.g. is there a common freezer and storage area? Or does each individual restaurant do their own thing? e.g. order and separate and receive their food independently.
Can you imagine McDonald's sharing space with Burger King, or KFC?

I wouldn't even be sure they'd be allowed to even if they wanted. Each establishment would need its own compliance &amp; hygiene certificate, which would be confounded if they shared space. Whose responsibility is each shared fridge in such circumstances? Who handles correct stock rotation? What happens if a KFC employee accidentally takes a bag of McDonald's fries?
