How is the wait time calculated?

The wait time is calculated by dividing the queue length by the number of available stalls and multiplying by the average preparation time. Michelin-starred stalls include a 1.5x multiplier.

What does 'isWorthTheChope' mean?

It indicates if the wait time is 45 minutes or less. If it exceeds 45 minutes, the wait is considered not worth the effort of reserving a seat.

Can I use this to plan my lunch?

Yes, you can use `suggest_arrival_time` to determine the best time to arrive 15 minutes before peak hours like 12:00 PM.

This MCP server provides deterministic queue time estimation for Singapore hawker centers using Little's Law. It helps users decide if a wait is worth the 'chope' by calculating estimated wait times, queue velocity, and suggesting optimal arrival times to avoid peak crowds. Use estimate_wait_time to predict delays, suggest_arrival_time to find the best time to visit, and get_service_efficiency to monitor food station throughput.
