The areas to consider are the exterior, entrance, waiting area, dining area, kitchen, restrooms, and bar. The first restaurant serves high-end food; its operating hours are from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 a.m.; it’s located downtown in a city; and most customers are professionals who work downtown during the day and people in their 20s–30s who are out for drinks during the evening. The second restaurant serves inexpensive, homestyle meals; its operating hours are from 6:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.; it’s located in a mid-sized town; and most customers are couples and families who enjoy having a meal together.
