This is not a typical apples to apples comparison.
The ones at BJ's are meant to be cooked at home in an oven at 400 degrees.
The food service ones are meant to be cooked in a commercial fryer, sold to paying customers, and designed to retain their crispiness for a period of time which is critical when food is not sent out promptly, or even worse the onion rings are a takeout or delivery item. The commercial formulations use additives like Evercrisp for those particular applications, and it absolutely adds to the cost.
