You got a summer job at a sandwich shop downtown. The shop sells different kinds of sandwiches, each consisting of a type of bread, a type of meat (or substitute), a type of cheese (if the customer wants some) and a type of vegetable. Each day, you have to go to the grocery store and buy supplies for the day’s sandwiches. Bread has to be discarded at the end of the day. Meat and cheese have to be discarded after a week. Vegetables are discarded after 3 days. You know that customers come in randomly. If a customer cannot have the desired sandwich, she will leave and there is a 0.5 probability that she will never come to the shop again. Of course, customers pay different amounts for different sandwiches, and you have to pay for the groceries. Having taken AI, you want to optimize, in a principled way, the amount of purchases you are making. Describe this problem using any AI technique of your choice. Explain all the components of your model. What algorithms could you use to solve this problem?
