                                            SEMIR KHAZNA, Cross-examined:
 
 
 
     1
     2   Q.   You said that Dave had experience of both drive-thru and
     3        high volume restaurants; the Heathrow store, was that a
     4        high volume restaurant?
     5        A.  Yes, it is.
     6
     7   Q.   Do you recall what kind of numbers of transactions there
     8        were made at the store on an average Saturday lunchtime or
     9        for any period?
    10        A.  Are you talking the number of customers we were
    11        serving?
    12
    13   Q.   Yes.
    14        A.  At what particular period, sorry?
    15
    16   Q.   For example, a Saturday lunchtime?
    17        A.  Between which hours?
    18
    19   Q.   12.00 until 2.00 or 12.00 until 3.00, whatever?
    20        A.  Well, being a drive-thru there are two types of
    21        transactions.  You know, you have got the transaction that
    22        comes through the drive-thru; you have got the transaction
    23        that comes from the front counter.
    24
    25   Q.   Do you know roughly the number of transactions?
    26        A.  Off the top of my head, I could not give you those
    27        figures, no.
    28
    29   Q.   Do you know what numbers of transactions for the week or
    30        anything like that?
    31        A.  Yes.
    32
    33   Q.   Could you tell us, just so that we have an idea of how many
    34        people are passing through buying food?
    35        A.  Well, when you say "people", we have got cars.  So, in
    36        the car you could have six people sitting in there.  So, it
    37        is two different issues.
    38
    39   Q.   How many orders would there be?
    40        A.  I would say approximately 11 to 12,000 a week.
    41
    42   Q.   Do you know how much of that would be on a Saturday?
    43        A.  Heathrow is a constant store throughout the week,
    44        so  .....
    45
    46   Q.   More or less the same every day?
    47        A.  Saturdays, obviously, is slightly busier because of the
    48        weekends, but the Heathrow restaurant is constantly busy
    49        every day of the week.
    50 
    51   Q.   Right, OK.  We could divide that by seven and we would not 
    52        be too far out in ----- 
    53        A.  I would add an extra certain percentage on for the
    54        Saturday sales, yes.  It was a busier day.
    55
    56   Q.   Do you know whether there is any kind of seasonal
    57        variation?
    58        A.  Not much.
    59
    60   Q.   Not much.  Just moving on to page 4 of your statement, the
