When 18,500 Orlando Magic Fans Come to Dinner Video Case
With vast experience at venues such as the American Airlines Arena (in Miami), the Kentucky Derby, and Super Bowls, Chef John Nicely now also plans huge culinary events at Orlando’s Amway Center, home of the Orlando Magic basketball team. With his unique talent and exceptional operations skills, Nicely serves tens of thousands of cheering fans at some of the world’s largest events. And when more than 18,500 basketball fans show up for a game, expecting great food and great basketball, he puts his creative as well as operations talent to work.
Chef John must be prepared. This means determining not only a total demand for all 18,500 fans but also translating that demand into specific menu items and beverages, He prepares a
Chef John frequently changes the menu to keep it interesting for the fans who attend many of the 41 regular season home games each season. Even the culinary preference of the opponent’s fans who may be attending influences the menu. Additionally, when entertainment other than the Magic is using the Amway Center, the demographic mix is likely to be different, requiring additional tweaking of the menu. The size of the wait staff and the kitchen staff change to reflect the size of the crowd; Chef John may be supervising as many as 90 people working in the kitchen. Similarly, the concessions stands, 40% of which have their own grills and fryers, present another challenge, as they are managed by volunteers from nonprofit organizations. The use of these volunteers adds the need for special training and extra enforcement of strict quality standards.
Once deciding on the overall demand and the menu, Chef John must prepare the production specifications (a bill of material) for each item. For the evening game with the Celtics, Chef John is preparing his unique Cheeto Crusted Mac & Cheese dish. The ingredients, quantity, costs, and labor requirements are shown below:
Production Specifications
The yield on this dish is 6 portions, and labor cost is $15 per hour, with fringes. The entire quantity required for the evening is prepared prior to the game and kept in warming ovens until needed. Demand for each basketball game is divided into 5 periods: prior to the game, first quarter, second quarter, half-time, and second half. At the Magic vs. Celtics game next week, the demand (number of portions) in each period is 60, 36, 48, 60, and 12 for the Cheeto Crusted Mac & Cheese dish, respectively.

- Jubelien and Joshua have joined forces to start Rosen old Lettuce Products, a processor ofpackaged shredded lettuce. Jubelien has years of food processing experience and Joshua hasextensive commercial food preparation experience. Together with the help from vendors, theycan adequately estimate demand, fixed costs, revenues, and variable cost per 5-pound bag oflettuce. They think a largely manual process will have monthly fixed cost of 37,500Php andvariable cost of 1.75Php per 5-pound bag. A more mechanized process will have fixed costs of75,000Php per month with variable costs of 1.25Php per 5-pound bag. They expect to sell theshredded lettuce for 2.50Php per 5-pound bag.a.

Rami El‐Hussieny was the day shift operations manager, and, unfortunately, he did not know how to answer Elizabeth's question. What she wanted to know was simple enough: How many dozen rolls should be placed in the proofer in anticipation of the night's dinner business? The problem was that the frozen dinner roll dough used at the Sands Cafeteria needed to be proof for at least 2 hours prior to being baked for 15 minutes. If too many rolls were proofed, they would never be needed, but they would still have to be baked and made into bread dressing or even tossed out. If too few dozen were proofed and the night was busier than anticipated, they would run out of “Fresh Baked Rolls” (one of the restaurant's signature items), and Rami knew that the night manager would be really upset. It was a daily guess, and sometimes Rami missed the guess! He wondered if a prebaked roll with a shelf life…arrow_forward
