Text 2 friday evening at the grand hotel's casual restaurant

Karla Gomez is supervisor at the Grand Hotels casual restaurant. Karla's responsibilities include overseeing five servers and two bussers, seat­ing guests, and taking reservations. One Friday evening, the restaurant was very busy—all twenty tables were occupied, there was a substantial wait-list, and there were people on standby. The service bar was almost full of guests and most of the seated guests in the dining area had finished their entrees or were just beginning their desserts. They were not leaving, however, in part because of cold, rainy weather outside. The guests did not seem to be hi a rush to leave the restaurant, but several of the guests waiting for tables were complaining about the long wait [1, 191].
