I'm assuming OP means a pizza restaurant not a factory? Not a restaurant owner but I'm curious how a pizza place consistently sells 15 pizzas/hour @ 8 hours a day... let alone more More likely what's going to happen is you have "bursty" rush times where you need more people to scale up and dead times where you have minimal sales?

Pizza places are the factories of foodservice; Competitive, assembly line operations, feed a lot of people every night from a shoebox form factor with little or no seating, very low margin by comparison to other foodservice sectors. The cheese is most of the cost of your slice, and you'll have a hard time beating these prices at home. https://thinktank.pmq.com/t/how-many-pizzas-per-labour-hour/... "With 2 Edge60 oven…

If you’ve ever worked at a pizza place, or in any food service at all, you’ll understand that these numbers are peaks, during a time called “rush hour”, and can only happen for a few hours a day, probably on the weekends or sports night. These numbers aren’t sustained. And even then, this must be in a metropolis if there’s no seating. I’ve never been to, or seen, a pizza place without seating, outside of downtown SF.

Pizza shops are not factories, for the majority of the day. They’re mostly empty.

Peak service throughput:

Comment1: 30 pies per man-hour

Comment2: 10 pies per man-hour and thinks there's room for improvement

Comment3: 21 pies per man-hour

Comment4: 30 pies per man-hour

My assumption was a bit more conservative to account for that: 15 pies per man-hour, averaged over the course of the workday. Maybe I should have gone with 10 pies and a $1.50 increase? 7.5 pies and a $2 increase? Even with those numbers, my point holds.

This math isn't realistic. Where I am, the legally mandated minimum shift length is four hours. Divide your numbers by three. Divide it by 3 or four again because this peak only happens on the weekends.

And, again, I think this assumes some metropolis.
