its highly unlikely any restaurant uses teflon coated pans. Most use carbon steel or stainless. Teflon just won't hold up in daily use at a restaurant.

cost is also gonna be a factor. you can get bulk stainless pans in bulk at reasonable prices and they'll last forever

restaurants also love high-heat and that's a no-no for teflon
