Nice. Then sell to Wendy's, Burger King, Domino's, and Pizza Hut.
Buried in the middle should be a little integer linear programming for the scheduling!
The 'qualitative' stuff about the impact of weather, high school events, etc. would be more difficult, and it may be that something like an expert system would work -- typically there's not enough data for some clean statistical attack so that some expert judgment might be essential.
Uh, the $1 million a year would be for someone owning 10 McD's, not just one!
Cute.
One potentially nice part of this could be the point of sales terminals: They may have been recording data on each Big Mack, fry, etc. along with time and date. Good data to have.
