Before the final choice

Can you count groups of cups per day?

The solution determines the density of the peak and the duration of operations.

What to do if there is no data?

Collect a test timing or start with a conservative script and don’t pass it off as normal.

Where to check the recommendation?

On class pages, comparing neighboring groups, and on a particular model test.

Translate the manual into a work project

Gather equipment, engineering and rack plan around your menu and peak scenario.
