## Abstract

Kaimaru, a KAIST food court, is one of the most visited for students, professors, and faculties to grab some meal at a reasonable price. Due to its popularity, the number of people waiting in line often scares students with classes after lunch to decide whether to join the queue or skip the meal.

To solve this issue, we visualized a number of people waiting in the left and the right hall for every five minutes in the lunch hour. We also visualized a model to predict the total dining time of each vendor from the time a person got in line.  More details can be found on the slide.
