Answer:
The manager can make a list of pros and cons of of adding an oven and employing more workers whichever seems to increase the productivity of the restaurent can do. Few points to keep in mind is given below:

  • First restaurant needs to understand the increase in student population is a permamnent thing, it is not just increasing because of some celebration going on in the universoty or some one time huge event. If its a one time event then hiring more workers temporarily will do the job instead of purchasing new over permamnently.

  • The manager should identify the bottleneck as well, if its serving people and manual thing apart from wait time he can think of higher more employees, on the other hand if its solely wait time due to baking of pizza oven could be the better choise.

By calcukating the points mentioned above, manager can take informed decision of purchasing a new oven or employing more worker.
