Question

Using your workplace as an example, or, if you do not work in the food or beverage industry, choose a place you dine or drink at and describe what variables likely need to be considered in forecasting sales at the establishment that go beyond the usual "we're always busier on Fridays and Saturdays" element.  For example, a manager at Black Mesa Coffee at the airport will likely plan for more sales during busy travel periods like the days surrounding Thanksgiving, but (some) other establishments might plan for slower sales around Thanksgiving.
