The cafeteria system is a common spectacle in everyday life of urban people. It is a form of service that gives equal treatment to all the customers by means of time taken for service as well as the choice of items based on availability. It is a common scenario in most developed countries but in Bangladesh, it is mostly common in educational institutions. The experiment focused on the common cafeteria found in Bangladesh and provide some optimizations.

The cafeteria model is simulated for some set of input variables following a recommended experimental design (2k Factorial Design). The output of the simulation is analysed for performance based on some performance criteria and the best performing configuration is selected. The remainder of this report is structured as follows. Section 2 explores the problem statement of the experiment and identifies the goals and objectives of the simulation. Section 3 outlines the conceptual model of the simulation along with the relations. Section 4 explores the specification model followed by the computational model in section 5. Section 6 summarizes the experimental outline and the performance criteria. Section 7 contains the result discussion and finally section 8 drives a conclusion
