摘 要：However, after our observations for a couple of weeks, we discovered a surprising fact: In many restaurants, there is always a constant number of staff throughout the day. Yet the number of customers coming in fluctuate greatly with time. For example, there are on average two transactions made per minute at La Vals, the pizza place, around 12pm, while there is only one transaction made in three minutes at 3pm. Number of staff, however, remains eight at any time in the day. In other words, restaurant owners are either over or under staffed most of the time. While labor cost is a burden for all restaurants but surprisingly, nobody is solving this problem. That’s why our capstone project is important.
