Abel,
I unfortunately do not have any advice. I use wordpress.com and i am far, not getting much spam. I might be just getting lucky!

Hello, i read your blog from time to time and i own a similar one and i was just wondering if you get a lot
of spam responses? If so how do you protect against it, any
plugin or anything you can recommend? I get so much lately it’s driving me mad so any support is very much appreciated.

I just heard about this article related to your quest:

The info may have some bearing on it.

Another thought: Would McGigaBurgers have implemented the change to two lanes if they did not already have either empirical evidence or analytical evidence that the additional lane would speed the rate of filling orders? Maybe. Maybe what you observed was the exercise of gathering empirical data to test the theory or prove the analyses for supersizing their drive-throughs.

My first thought was that there will be little difference because both lanes converge into at single cashier window at which the food is obtained by the customers. I assumed that the food-for-payment rate at that window would remain constant, so that bottleneck would remain unchanged and the customers would get food no faster than before.

On second thought, however, the cooks will be getting orders twice as fast due to two ordering lanes, so the cooks will have less wait time to get an order. So, some speed may be gained there. Also, the cooks will be filling orders faster, perhaps twice as fast, so the cashier will have less of a wait for getting food from the cooks. So the cashier may have more food in the queue for the customers – a backlog of filled orders; therefore the customer may have a shorter wait at the window to actually get the food.

My final answer: the customers get their food slightly faster.

Wait, wait – then again …

The feedback is good. Looks like I might have to add some features
