An illustration of measurement; not live tracking or your organisation’s data.
Inward crossings at the café entrance are grouped by time. Repeat entries are not a count of unique people.Entry counts are compared across equal time intervals to identify the busiest periods. Peaks come from period data, not the people shown in this illustration.Time is measured in the defined ordering-wait zone in front of the counter. This describes visitor waiting, not coffee-preparation time or individual staff speed.Visits and presence in the observed seating zone are reviewed over time. This describes zone use; measuring each table requires suitable definitions and coverage.Relevant industry metrics
Review operating schedules, space allocation and seasonal comparisons. Order-preparation speed requires suitable ordering-system data or additional measurement tools.
