A small neighborhood restaurant is staffed by a hostess, five wait staff and four cooks. The hostess seats the guests and hands out the menu which takes 3 minutes. Then a waiter takes the orders and sends them to the kitchen which takes 5 minutes on average. It takes an average of 5 minutes before one of the cooks picks the order and starts preparing the meals. Once the cook starts the order, it takes an average of 15 minutes to prepare one customer order. When the meals are ready, the waiter brings the food to the table which takes 4 minutes. The waiter also brings the check and processes the payment which also takes 3 minutes.
