Assuming the original times listed in the initial description, Chic$-$ken Rulez now wishes to improve the process by reducing the time to deliver a meal box. Customers often place an order and leave the counter area to find seating.

This is the root cause for delivery times being so long because on average a customer's meal order is called $3$ times before it is actually picked up$,$ completing the delivery process. To reduce this process time, Chic$-$ken Rulez is going to provide customers with a GPS tracker at the time of the order.

The order process is the same except now the box and delivery activity will be two separate activities. Delivery is now performed by food runners that use a handheld device to locate the GPS device and deliver a customer's ordered meal box. It now takes $2$ minutes to box a meal. Based on preliminary tests, the average time to locate a GPS device and deliver a meal box in the food area takes $7$ minutes.
