(a) 2 Decision based on financial impact :-
Sarah should open the cafe for lunch as this will increase the operating profit of cafe from $4300 to $34450 i. e. by $30150. So the answer is YES.
(b) Other factors to be considered:-
What other restaurants might do
Competitor's strategy is also an important factor.
Whether the longer opening hours might cause the restaurant to lose its appeal
As the restaurant is popular for its Dinner services and it is open for only some limited hours which differentiate and standardise it from the other restaurants, some customers may not like the longer opening because it will affect the quality of service provided by the restaurant.
Whether this will lead to enhancement of storage facility
As the Cafe would be providing Lunch facility along with the Dinner facility, it would be using more of resources then earlier which will lead to the requirement of additional storage facility.
Whether the longer opening hours might cause the restaurant to recruit additional staff
For providing additional services the restaurant will need additional staff to perform additional tasks because the currant staff would be insufficient. This will lead to additional cost of salary to the new staff recruited.
