Calculation Of Restaurant Capacity

Question

Consider a community dining style restaurant such as Benihana of Tokyo.
Assumptions are as follows:

When you admit a customer to the bar, the customer is assured a seat in the bar for 30 minutes (15 minutes a drink, 2 drinks). Each dining table seats 8 people. As soon as a dining table is empty, a group of eight who have spent 30 minutes in the bar is assembled in the bar and is taken to the dining table by a hostess.
These 8 people spend 90 minutes at the dining table. Thus, if a group of 8 people start dinner at 6:30 PM, they will all be done at 8:00 PM.
Consider a steady state system. Assume that the restaurant is open for 24 hours.

Also assume:
(i) A large inventory of people who are eager to get in to the bar
(ii) There is no set up time lost in assembling 8 people in the bar or in the dining hall.
Answer the following questions. Assume steady state.
Design X: Restaurant Bar Space = 8 people
                 Dining Tables = 4
a. Restaurant Capacity (dinners served per day, day = 24hrs) = ?

Design V: Restaurant Bar Space = 16 people
     Dining Tables = 4

b. Restaurant Capacity (dinners served per day, day = 24hrs) = ?

    Hello Allison,I love the 2nd image that you did! I also, had never heard of SumoPaint, is something that I will have to exolpre a bit! I understand completely the 52 (or so) youtube videos that you probably watched. Sometimes they have what you want, sometimes they don't! However, it is always satisfying when you are able to produce something that you have taught yourself. Great job!Debra 0 likes
