A fast-food restaurant offers a variety of products: from pre-made packaged sandwiches to milkshakes with different flavors. Many customers order one item time, other customers order multiple items. Sometimes customers buy the pre- made items, and some customers actually ask the restaurant to cook their food while they wait. The restaurant manager has kept careful records of some queuing statistics over several weeks. According to this data, the staff needs 4 minutes on average to serve a random customer. On average, the restaurant served 120 customers on a given day. This restaurant is open from 9 AM to 9 PM every day, and has a single service counter. If you want to help the manager measure this restaurant's waiting line performance, which of the following should you use? Exponential Service Rate Model The Finite Source Model Constant Service Rate Model O The multi phase single channel model
