At Location 1 (West Side)
Cycle Time
60 minutes / 5 tables = 12 minutes/table
8 people / table 1.5 minutes/person
Throughput
1 table / 12 minutes or
2 people / 3 minutes
The Bar must empty every 12 minutes!

Bar - 8 seats; Dining area - 40 seats
It takes 60 minutes for one customer to eat dinner, and
there are 40 seats in the dining area. Therefore 40 people
eat every 60 minutes (throughput).
On the average a dinner cycle is completed every 60
minutes/40 people = 1.5 minutes per person (cycle time).
We know that dinners are processed in batches of 8, so on
the average a table of 8 finishes every 12 minutes.

8. Benihana流程分析
Bar - 8 seats; Dining area - 40 seats
This means that the 8-seat bar must empty every 12
minutes.
The "ideal" time for someone to remain in the bar is
about double that time (because this will be just after the
second drink has reached the table).
Therefore, it would appear that the ratio of 0.2 (8 bar
seats to 40 dining seats) is too small.

Bar - 16 seats; Dining Area - 80 seats
It takes 60 minutes for one customer to eat dinner, and
there are 80 seats in the dining area. Therefore 80 people
eat every 60 minutes (throughput).
On the average a dinner cycle is completed every 60
minutes/80 people = 0.75 minutes per person (cycle time).
We know that dinners are processed in batches of 8, so on
the average a table of 8 finishes every 6 minutes.

Bar - 16 seats; Dining Area - 80 seats
This means that the 16-seat bar must empty every 12
minutes.
Therefore, it would appear that the ratio of 0.2 (16 bar
seats to 80 dining seats) is too small.
In fact, all this does is double the restaurant’s capacity,
and the bar time remains at 12 minutes.
The only benefit is that 16 seats might allow the host or
hostess to do a better job of assembling groups of eight.

Bar - 48 seats; Dining Area - 120 seats
It takes 60 minutes for one customer to eat dinner, and
there are 120 seats in the dining area. Therefore 120 people
eat every 60 minutes (throughput).
On the average a dinner cycle is completed every 60
minutes/120 people = 0.5 minutes per person (cycle time).
We know that dinners are processed in batches of 8, so on
the average a table of 8 finishes every 4 minutes.

紅花巧妙規劃的結果,週轉率如何?
以15桌、120個位置的餐廳為例,假設顧客很平均的進
來,用餐一小時,則平均每4分鐘(60/15 )可有一桌
顧客出去;其等待區約可容納48個人,總座位的四成
多,平均等待半個小時,若顧客喝兩杯飲料,則還可
創造額外的可觀利潤。

about Japanese food (in the 70’s – stinky, fishy, oily)
– 快樂、享受」,「日式燒烤的料理秀」,「有限的消
費,無限的享受」
– 紅花把日式鐵板燒帶進美國餐飲業主流,還以廚藝創
造了「吃娛樂」(eatertainment)的新概念,也帶進其他
的日本料理使之蔚為風潮,現在壽司已是美國十分流
行的料理,而醬油更是許許多多美國餐廳的必備調味
料。創造新的產業 “ eatertainment” .紅花可說是體驗行
銷的先驅

23. 廚師的薪水
• Gross Sales = $1,300,000
• Labor cost = 10% of gross sales = $130,000
• Managerial expense will be assumed to be a separate line item
• 1 Manager : 1 Asst. Manager : 2 Front men
$ 15,000 + $ 12,000 + $ 18,000 = $ 45,000
Total staff = 30;
Chefs = 6 and Management = 4; Workers = 20
Assuming chefs make twice what other staff members make…
Chef salary = $8100
Worker salary = $4050
