The Rain Cafe aims to launch its first drive-through. They decided to
have two drive-through lanes (servers are identical; assume there is a
single queue for both servers). The service time for each drive-through
lane is exponentially distributed with a mean of 3 minutes. The arrival
rate of customers to Rain Caf is Poisson with a rate of 30 per hour.
a. Using Kendalls Notation (A/S/c), what type of queueing system is
this?
b. What is the average customers time in the system?
c. If Rain wants to keep the average time in the system for all
customers less than 5 minutes, do you suggest they increase the
number of lanes?
