Business Configuration Design: 
Our system separates business logic design from value determination:
- Configuration Logic (business_configuration_logic.json): Templates designed by data engineers with sample_value for scalars and actual formulas for business logic
- Configuration Values (business_configuration.json): Realistic values determined by domain experts for scalar parameters only
- Design Rationale: Ensures business logic consistency while allowing flexible parameter tuning


TASK: Create structured markdown documentation for SECTIONS 1-3 ONLY (Problem Description).

# Complete Optimization Problem and Solution: coffee_shop

## 1. Problem Context and Goals

### Context  
A coffee shop chain is focused on optimizing staff allocation during happy hours across its various shops. The goal is to maximize customer satisfaction by ensuring that members, who are valued based on their membership level, spend more during these peak hours. The chain must allocate staff efficiently to meet customer demand while staying within operational constraints. 

The key decision involves determining the number of staff to assign to each shop during happy hours. This decision must consider the total budget for staff across all shops, which is capped at 150. Additionally, each shop has specific staffing limits: a minimum of 2 staff members is required to maintain basic operations, and a maximum of 15 staff members is allowed to handle peak customer traffic. The chain also enforces a maximum spending limit of $50 per member to control costs while encouraging customer spending.

The optimization problem is designed to maximize the total amount spent by members during happy hours, weighted by their membership level. This ensures that higher-tier members, who contribute more to revenue, are prioritized. The problem is structured to ensure that all constraints are linear, avoiding any nonlinear relationships such as variable products or divisions.

### Goals  
The primary goal of this optimization is to maximize the total weighted spending by members during happy hours. This is achieved by assigning the optimal number of staff to each shop, ensuring that higher-tier members are adequately served. Success is measured by the total amount spent by members, adjusted for their membership level, while adhering to the total staff budget and individual shop staffing limits. The optimization ensures that the chain operates efficiently, balancing customer satisfaction with operational costs.

## 2. Constraints  

The optimization problem is subject to the following constraints:  
1. **Total Staff Budget Constraint**: The total number of staff assigned across all shops must not exceed the total budget of 150. This ensures that the chain operates within its financial limits.  
2. **Shop Staffing Limits**: Each shop must have a minimum of 2 staff members to maintain basic operations and a maximum of 15 staff members to handle peak customer traffic. This ensures that each shop is adequately staffed without exceeding its capacity.  
3. **Maximum Spending Limit per Member**: The spending per member during happy hours must not exceed $50. This constraint helps control costs while encouraging customer spending.  

These constraints are designed to ensure that the optimization problem remains linear, avoiding any nonlinear relationships that could complicate the solution.
