The document compares restaurant throughput and profits with and without a batching strategy. Batching groups customers from the bar into parties of 8 for dining, replicating a standard practice. Without batching, parties are seated based on size, potentially leaving empty seats. Batching allows serving more customers, increasing total revenue and profits from $−201.58 to $121.80 in one scenario by serving more dinners. Batching utilization of dining space is also higher, from 44.57% without to 57.11% with batching.

How does batching strategy affect throughput?


You may choose 'Use Batching' which will send customers from the bar to the dining room in groups of
eight, replicating Benihana's standard operating policy. If you choose 'No Batching', customers are
seated in the dining area based on the size of their party. This means (for example), if a group arrives as
a party of five, they will be seated as a party of five and completely occupy an eight-place table.
How many additional customers can Benihana service with batching? What is the impact of batching
during peak and non-peak periods?
