If you’re new here, I recommend reading the first part as it would make it easier to understand the intuition behind the code we are going to write below.

In this article, let us try to solve a resource allocation problem in a fast-food setting, which is one of the most popular types of problems studied in optimization classes.

Suppose a restaurant is deciding how to allocate its resources among its three main sections:
