I have a restaurant though I'm not a professional chef. In my restaurant we are planning to introduce onion rings with breadcrumbs as sides. Many recipe I found egg in batter but am confused the egg will get spoilt once we keep aside after frying a portion of onion ring. Please help me to find an alternative to deliver onion rings as fast as we are fast food restaurant?

You could always use a batter that doesn't use egg: http://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/onion-rings – ElendilTheTall Sep 06 '16 at 09:10

1I assume it is about storing and using the raw batter in bulk, not making the fried onion rings keep better when stored? Storage conditions/times that would readily make an egg batter spoil are not unlikely to make other batters unsafe too (probably in a way that they are not obviously spoilt but a food safety concern). – rackandboneman Sep 06 '16 at 09:21

2Are you sure this is an issue? If you partially cook an onion ring, the batter part is going to be cooked and set, while the inner part, the onion, will be left slightly undercooked. The part that is egg won't go bad any more than any other food would, I'd guess, but I'm not an expert. – PoloHoleSet Sep 06 '16 at 14:28

Something you might want to consider is to use your batter that you have and bread your rings and put on on parchment paper (not touching each other) and freeze. Once frozen they can be consolidated. They can be fried frozen. We did this at a hotel restaurant and had great results. By doing this you can prepare only the amount of egg mixture as needed.
I will share with you a recipe that does not even use eggs or milk. Using a slicer slice the onions thin and put in ice water. Toss rings in a seasoned flour and fry. Easy, and quite good. You will have to experiment on breadcrumbs if that is what you feel you really want to do.

A batter recipe that we made in a restaurant, had beer, flour, salt, and pepper. the more flour you used in the recipe the breadier it would be to the contrary with less flour you would end up with a crispier texture but less coated. First you would need to dredge the onion rings in flour. If fried and not eaten immediately it will get soggy. I've only seen people freeze breaded food but if it works for batters I would definitely give it a try. I have also seen cooks add cornstarch 1/4 ratio to 3/4 flour and instead of beer they would use mineral water. And these recipes can be stored roughly 3 hours on the fridge. Test and Taste good luck.
