Western Family Steakhouse offers a variety of low-cost meals and quick service. Other than management, the steakhouse operates with two full-time employees who work 8 hours per day. The rest of the employees are part-time employees who are scheduled for 4-hour shifts during peak meal times. On Saturdays the steakhouse is open from 11:00 A.M. to 10:00 P.M. Management wants to develop a schedule for part-time employees that will minimize labor costs and still provide excellent customer service. The average wage rate for the part-time employees is $6.1 per hour, but the temp agency managing the part time staff will charge the steakhouse one extra dollar per hour for shifts starting after 3:00 PM. The total number of full-time and part-time employees needed varies with the time of day as shown.
