Restaurant management has both similarities and startling differences with startup management. The military command-and-control model Anthony Bourdain discusses here probably wouldn't work for software, where more time and more creativity is involved. But the esprit de corps is something to admire and emulate.
My daughter, who is making a career in the kitchen, has one big criticism of this approach - the rampant sexism of the "politically incorrect" atmosphere. Women put up with a lot of crap in the kitchen that they'd never have to deal with in other industries. Her dream is to take the effective structure of the kitchen, but make it a safe, calm space.
