Question 494743: PizzaTime Restaurants is building a new pizza place and needs to determine how big to make the various parts of its facility. It wants to be able to accommodate a maximum of 640 customers per hour at its peak times. PizzaTime has collected the following information: the average time to place and receive an order is 1.2 minutes, the average time spent in the restroom is 0.5 minutes (50 percent of customers are men and 50 percent women), 30 percent of the customers have cars and require parking spots, and the average length of time at the restaurant is 20 minutes per customer. Assuming that PizzaTime wants to maintain a 20% capacity cushion for each area, determine:
(a) The number of cash registers required. Assume an average of 4 customers per order. (Round up your answer to the next whole number.)
Cash registers____?
(b) The number of toilets/sinks needed for the restrooms. Assume 50% time is spent on toilet and 50% at sink. (Round up your answer to the next whole number.)
Toilets required___?
Sinks required____?
c) The number of parking spaces needed. (Round up your answer to the next whole number.)

Answer by richard1234(7193)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! a) If 640 customers per hour arrive, then on average, 160 orders per hour will be placed, each one taking 1.2 minutes. In one hour, roughly 60/1.2 = 50 orders will be placed on one cash register, so about three cash registers is enough.
b) What percentage of customers use the restroom?
c) If a maximum of 640 customers are there and 30% of them park, approximately 640(.3) = 192 parking spaces are required.
