2. How does Benihana’s cost structure differ from that of a typical sit-down restaurant? [explain the cost differences in terms of food, labor, beverage, rent, and advertising separately]

3. What is the process flow on a busy night? (Describe by including the flow chart diagram)

4. As the case explains, the labor cost does not include the manager, assistant manager and the hosts salaries. (These salaries have a separate budget line known as management costs.)
