The restaurant industry promotes local employment, supports local agriculture, and keeps hard-earned cash in the community. Choosing to shop and eat at local stores and restaurants brings about four times the economic benefits to the community.
Total time for a party to eat dinner and desserts = 60+20
= 80 minutes
= 1.33 hour
Capacity rate = Number of tables / Total time for a party to eat dinner and desserts
= 50 / 1.33
= 37.5 parties per hour
b) Total contribution margin generated by each party = 80+20
= $ 100
Rate of margin generated by the restaurant operating at capacity = 100*37.5
= 3,750 dollars per hour
