Visit and observe three restaurants, cafés, or somewhere where food is served. Compare them in terms of the Volume of demand that they have to cope with, the Variety of menu items they service, the Variation in demand during the day, week, and year, and the Visibility you have of the preparation of the food. Think about and discuss the impact of volume, variety, variation, and visibility on the day-to-day management of each of the operations and consider how each operation attempts to cope with its volume, variety variation, and visibility.
