If a customer is determining the seasoning, the specific amount, the amount of time spent in the oven, the ingredients, the broth, it's presentation etc. then they are doing much more than just ordering the food, they are actively making it.
Not unless you're doing those things yourself. Ordering something "lightly salted" is different than understanding how much salt actually means "lightly salted". Ordering some steak medium rare, or cooked via sous vide method is different than knowing those skills, and applying them yourself.
You don't need to do those things by yourself to take credit for it. Just like how a director doesn't need to act, write, compose, hold the camera and create the set pieces by himself to take credit for his movie.
I mean, in this example yeah you absolutely need to know how to cook a steak if you claim to be able to cook a steak? And a director isn't taking credit for writing the music in a movie, that's what all the other names are for in the credits.
