Question

A restaurant prepared and served 1540 meals for students in the month of May. During May, the cooks worked 9 days (of 8 hours each). The restaurant used 13 direct labor employees. Determine the hourly labor productivity of the meals.

Answer 1

About 1.65 meals per hour

Explanation:

9 days of work in May * 8 hours per day = 72 hours of work in May per employee

72 hours * 13 employees = 936 hours worked for all employees in May

1540 meals in May/ 936 hours worked for all employees in May = about 1.65 meals per hour
