1.(a) Given the current number of customers per hour, what is the amount of excess capacity in the bar, dining room, parking lot, and kitchen? (b) Calculate the expected total throughput margin for the restaurant per hour, day, and month (assuming a 26 day month).
2.(a) Given the expected increase in the number of customers, determine if there is a constraint for any of the four areas of capacity. What is the amount of needed capacity for each constraint? (b) If there is a constraint, reduce the demand on the constraint so that the restaurant is at full capacity (assume some customers would have to be turned away). Calculate the expected total throughput margin for the restaurant per hour, day and month (assuming a 26 day month).
3. Taylor has obtained construction estimates, and to increase the capacity of her bar to 80 seats and dining room to 120 seats and kitchen to 25 meals at the same time would cost $250,000 which she could finance for $5,000 per month for the next five years. Given your analysis above, prepare a brief recommendation to Taylor regarding expanding the restaurant
