The students hypothesized that placing highly popular restaurants in a smaller enclosed area of the cafeteria would lead to crowding and congestion. They collected data on customer transactions at different restaurants and found that Allegro, located in the smaller area, had the most customers. Red Kimono, also in the smaller area, had the second highest customer transactions despite being in a smaller space than the main cafeteria. The data supported the hypothesis that popular restaurants in confined spaces result in congestion.
