  • System and method employing capacity/demand management in prepared food service industry
    Patent number: 10346767
    Abstract: A computer-based method and system for capacity/demand management in restaurant and other prepared-food service industries accepts transaction parameter values for composite resources. At least a portion of the transaction parameter values for at least one composite resource are communicated to at least one potential user of the composite resource. The transaction parameter values for composite resources can be determined using at least one yield-management method and/or by at least one resource network manager.
    Type: Grant

  • System and method employing capacity/demand management for human-factor resources
    Patent number: 10115076
    Abstract: A computer-based system and method loads data for individual resources and composite resources from a resource revenue management system into a yield management system. The individual resources include human-factor resources. Each composite resource includes a collection of individual resources. Internal data structures are constructed for linking each of the resources to their associated composite resources and for linking each of the composite resources to their associated resources. Yield management techniques are used to interpret the data and to provide a set of revenue-maximizing transaction parameters under which a resource network offers its composite resources for transactions with users. The transaction parameters are transferred from the yield management system into the resource revenue management system. The resource revenue management system communicates with users, creating transactions for the composite resources using the values calculated by the yield management system.
