Kitchen vendor - Free stock and paid ingredients.

This is a great idea.
Insted of bothering cargo, botany and such.
It's just more fun for these civilian jobs to buy more supplies.

I already recommended this for a "Farmers market" approach.
Where the chef can buy ingridents and sell finished food.

I don't see why we can't have this for both bartending and kitchen. Just ways for chefs to be able to cook what they want when botany and the ranch cannot provide what they need.
Less dead time and more money spending and obtaining!
