Could you provide some sources on this subject?
In poland, "milk bars" were created, which were basically just cafeterias serving homely food very cheaply. The name refers to the fact you would not be served alcohol as in a "traditional" restaurant and the menu had a ton of dairy. Hell, even after the transformation, they continued to exist and were often a good way for students and workers to get cheap lunch.
But people still cooked at home. Cooking is part of culture after all, and I actually disagree with the take that cooking for yourself is some recent capitalist invention.
Sometimes I go to these remnant bars as they are the few places I can afford food. I can't even fathom where do students get money for McDonald's, shit's got extortionate pricing.
In Anna Louise Strong's This Soviet World (which you can find on libgen), she describes how the factory became a hub of life for the Soviet worker, far beyond just a place of work. From how she described it, they were practically small cities, with attached daycare centers for the workers' children, full cafeterias for the workers to eat their meals at, along with classrooms where people could take and organize classes of any subject they wanted, and large meeting spaces to conduct political business.
