When people ordered takeout Chinese by phone by talking to a real human, no matter what you ordered they would commonly conclude the call with "Ok, 10 minute."

The Chinese restaurant menus looked much the same across many states and cities too. I'm pretty sure there was a business or organization helping Chinese people open their own restaurants and teaching them common English phrases.
