We study the steady state behavior of a batch arrival single server queue in which the first service consisting of two stages with general service times G1 and G2 is compulsory. After completion of the two stages of the first essential service, a customer has the option of choosing one of the two types of additional service with respective general service times G1 and G2 . Just after completing both stages of first essential service with or without one of the two types of additional optional service, the server has the choice of taking an optional deterministic vacation of fixed (constant) length of time. We obtain steady state probability generating functions for the queue size for various states of the system at a random epoch of time in explicit and closed forms. The steady state results of some interesting special cases have been derived from the main results.
