Here's what I found: Mon–Wed your lunch rush is 11:30–1:30 with a smaller dinner bump at 5–6:30. Thursday and Friday lunch runs until 2pm and dinner is 40% busier. Saturdays peak from 11am–3pm. Sundays are consistently your slowest day by about 35%.

Done. Every Sunday at 8pm, I'll post a staffing recommendation to Slack with suggested headcount by shift. I'll also add calendar blocks for your peak periods so you can see them at a glance when building the schedule.
