Retail and hospitality simulation
Shoppers and guests line up for registers, kitchens and front desks staffed by limited crews. Stocha is designed to test 9 decisions here, each as a ready-made model template.
See the grocery worked example, a real engine run.
What Stocha measures
- Wait in the checkout line
- Drive-thru order time
- Register and crew utilization
- Customers who leave the line
- Orders served per hour
Decisions you can test
Packs are planned. The first wave ships with the private beta.
- Grocery checkout First waveHow many lanes should be open each hour to keep lines within your target?
- Quick-service restaurant drive-thru First waveDoes adding a second order point shorten drive-thru times or just move the bottleneck?
- Restaurant kitchen First waveHow many line cooks per station keep ticket times steady during the dinner rush?
- Hotel front deskHow many agents at check-in keep lines short when a tour group arrives?
- Stadium concessionsHow many stands and staff serve halftime crowds so fans return before play resumes?
- Theme-park queuesDoes a virtual queue for the busiest rides reduce total waiting across the park?
- CinemaHow many ticket and concession staff keep lines short before back-to-back evening showings?
- Fashion store fittingHow many fitting rooms and attendants keep shoppers from abandoning items while they wait?
- Self-checkoutHow many self-checkout stations can one attendant support before help requests start backing up?
Questions about retail and hospitality simulation
How many registers should I open to keep checkout lines short?
Model shoppers arriving by hour, how long checkout takes, the registers open and how many people leave a long line. Run each plan many times and compare the line wait at the peak and the shoppers lost. Demand changes by hour, so test a schedule, not one number for the day.
Will there be drive-thru and restaurant kitchen models?
Yes. Quick-service drive-thru, restaurant kitchen and grocery checkout templates are planned for the private beta, which has no date or price yet.
