Efficiency is paramount at kura : absent are the traditional sushi chefs and their painstaking attention to detail .
在库那餐厅,效率摆在第一位:这里没有传统的做寿司的厨师以及他们煞费苦心的专注于细节。
Absent , too , are flocks of waiters . They have been largely replaced by conveyors belts that carry sushi to diners and remote managers who monitor kura 's 262 restaurants from three control centers across japan .
" If you look at the restaurant business , consumers are still holding back because of employment fears and falling incomes , and there 's no signs that will change , " said kunihiko tanaka , kura 's chief executive , who opened kura 's first sushi restaurant in 1995 .
