Tried a 36 inch griddle at a diner in Tulsa and my ticket times dropped to 4 minutes
Cook said the flat top was overheating on the left side so he ran the whole rush on the griddle. Flat tops hold heat longer but the griddle recovered faster, who else has swapped one out and regretted it?

Six months in and you'll be wishing you kept the flat top. That fast recovery comes at a cost you don't feel until week three, because a griddle loses its heat the second cold food hits it and you gotta keep feeding it gas. Flat tops bank all that heat in the plate itself, so yeah they take longer to bounce back but they don't crash near as hard when you load them up. Your 4 minute ticket times on a diner rush are cute, but try that on a Friday night with a full rail and see if the left side doesn't die on you too. Every guy I know who swapped to a griddle for the speed ended up buying a second one or going back. You traded steady for fast and that trade usually bites you in the ass when it matters most.
