Currently, Rock View Restaurant has a single window with one person who takes the order,
gather the food, collects the money and gives the food to the customer. This takes an average of
147 seconds per customer so only 25.5 cars can be served. Rock View Restaurant wants to
increase its drive-through capacity to 60 cars per hour by forming a multi-window line.
