I've been enforcing this for the past two years with no problems. Except to keep the electricians up to date that it is required.
Most of the chain resturants use the same guys year after year and just because they always did it one way they are slow to pick up on the changes. This is complicated by jurisdictions that are still using older Codes.
The big food coolers and freezer are hard wired no GFI required. The smaller plug in units should be emptied daily with the food moved to the bigger ones. For a church or other small user the kitchen outlets could have a simple night light plugged in to show when it is tripped, as well as the indicator light.
Compared to in use covers and tamperproof receptacles this rule makes sense.
