It's a solution searching for a problem. I talked to many coffee shop and restaurant owners, and my conclusion was that independent stores would be hard to acquire as customers, require more ongoing support, and bring in less revenue. Initially I am planning on targeting medical (ERs, private ambulance companies), construction, warehouses, and chains where there are economies of scale or higher-paid hourly workers that would justify such a solution.
- wlievens 12y agoThere's a good reason it's called the Nurse Scheduling Problem, not the Barrista Scheduling Problem :-) When my twins were in NICU, it hit me what a challenge it must be to schedule nurses in such a unit. Accross the three shifts in a day, the nurse/patient ratio is a little over one. I think for about 30 NICU babies you had about 75 nurses, so this is an interesting planning problem.
