The cost of a wrong quantity
Too much here. Too little there.
Every wrong quantity has a cost: waste, missed sales or a disappointed guest.
CanteensImbalance
02Too much of one meal.
Enough portions overall can still mean the wrong mix.
EventsStockout
03Too little where demand moves.
Queues keep growing after the stand runs short.
