Compare the customers waiting for seats with the orders waiting for stoves, then choose the next action using only what your current shift shows.
Use this working form to rank visible seating and kitchen pressure, then optionally check an observed upgrade cost against your cash for affordability.
Enter the four required counts, then analyze. Empty fields do not produce a pretend recommendation.
Seating pressure = max(customers waiting − open usable seats, 0)
Kitchen pressure = max(orders waiting − active stoves, 0)
The larger score determines the recommendation. A positive tie means reassign and observe; a zero/zero result means no active pressure.
If 7 customers wait while 3 seats are open, seating pressure is 4. If 2 orders wait while 2 stoves are active, kitchen pressure is 0. The visible bottleneck is seating.
The tool does not estimate cook speed, customer patience, profit per minute, payback time, star gain, or a guaranteed outcome. Those values are not stable enough to claim. Use the result as a shift check, then compare it with the current shop and your restaurant layout.
It compares two visible workload gaps: customers without open seats and orders without active stoves.
No. It is a transparent operational heuristic based only on the counts you enter from the current shift.
No. Price and cash fields are optional player-entered values, so the site never invents a current cost.
Clear or reassign work at both stations, observe which queue returns first, and delay the purchase until the stronger bottleneck is visible.
