Long queues in Republic Poly
Having long queues in food courts in a common problem in Republic Polytechnic. This above photo is taken at the peak hour at 1.30pm at the North Canteen in Republic Polytechnic one of the 3 food courts available to students and staffs in the campus. This could be a problem for students and staff as normally students would have to queue long before eating their food which would waste time for students. This doesn't just happen in the foodcourt it happens every food court in Republic Poly as well. It is also crowded everywhere in various canteens around Republic Polytechnic due to the break timings for all classes ending at the same time at 12pm for every class. We hope that we are able to create some awareness to Republic Polytechnic students to be wary of the peak hour timings and off peak hour timings in order to maximize productive learning.
Solutions To The Issue of Long Queue
With a problem comes a solution right? So here is a solution to the issue. A solution is that food vendors can expand the queue by having more than 1 queue (e.g. 3 if the stall is very popular). If the vendors were to expand the queues, the queue will not stretch so long such that it will obstruct others pathway. Another solution to the problem is that the food stalls can hire more vendors to help them with the long queues. With more manpower, more staffs can help in preparing the meals and even taking the orders. Thus, this could increase the efficiency in getting the orders ready. The third solution is that they can have different break times for the students. An example of this is that Republic Polytechnic can have break times for Year 1s at 9.30am, Year 2s at 10.30 am and the Year 3s at 11.30 am. With the different times, not many people will be at the canteens at any time and this could potentially reduce the long queues in the canteens. In conclusion, these three are so...
