Answer: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Explanation: You would need to open at least on these days ( Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday) to satisfy 80% of the potential customers. This is because the percentage of customers available to eat at night on these days are over 80%.
