ESTIMATE THE NUMBER OF BURGERS SOLD BY A MC DONALDS STORE IN A DAY

Assumptions:

 Location of the Store: in a metro city

 Operational time: 11am to 11pm
 Operational days – all 7 days and we can choose to estimate it for a working day for this specific
guestimate
 Dine In & Take Away

Formula:

1. Number of burgers sold in dine in = No of hours * Occupancy * No of seats* Av Burger per

customer = No of burgers

Timing No of Hours Occupancy No of seats Av burger No of

(%) per burgers
customer
11am -2pm 3 60% 30 1 54
2pm - 5pm 3 100% 30 1 90
5pm - 8pm 3 60% 30 1 54
8pm -11pm 3 100% 30 1 90
Total no of burgers in dine in = 288

2. Number of burgers sold in take away = 40% of burgers sold in dine in = 40% of 288 = 115
3. Total number of burgers sold = Dine In + Take Away = 288 + 115 = 403 approximate it to 400
