Question $1.$ Queuing in Fast$-$food Restaurant Operations $(6$ marks$)$

The district manager of a fast$-$food restaurant chain has been receiving numerous complaints about

long wait times at the counter for placing and receiving orders. During a peak hour, an audit team

found that customers were arriving at an average rate of one customer per minute, following a

Poisson distribution. The standard service time for each customer was $2\mathrm{.}5$ minutes, following an

exponential distribution. The store had three cash registers $($service channels$)$ open during the

audit, though a fourth cash register was available but not in use due to scheduling constraints.
