![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/bCRYxcWU0MZGxIl7wrHSyEXLp1Y.png)
Visualization: The scatter plot for Service Quality Score also displays a uniform distribution of Ratings across various scores, lacking any significant pattern or trend.
3. Chef Experience Years
Correlation: The correlation coefficient is slightly higher at 0.0222 compared to Ambience and Service Quality Scores, but still represents a weak relationship.
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/UFsr8zwhJdovu3k7BHwk0wwE6T8.png)
Visualization: The scatter plot shows a spread of Ratings across different levels of Chef Experience Years without a clear positive trend, indicating that more experience does not consistently correlate with higher Ratings.
4. Parking Availability
Correlation: The correlation is effectively zero (0.0020), showing no meaningful connection between Parking Availability and Ratings.
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/c7KRCjfKr88LhOLZfPh2vAhl4.png)
Visualization: The box plot reveals that the average Ratings for restaurants with and without parking availability are nearly identical, further supporting the statistical findings.
5. Average Meal Price
Correlation: There is a very slight negative correlation (-0.0023) between Average Meal Price and Ratings, suggesting that higher prices might not favor higher Ratings.
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/2EWauSYEexaocZcYeC4ji8wvMk.png)

Reservation Patterns Analysis
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/fJmvXe2CheAgowSFvwRAl2qU.png)
Weekend vs. Weekday Reservations: The mean number of reservations is slightly higher on weekends (29.49) compared to weekdays (29.24). The standard deviation is also marginally higher on weekends (20.03) than on weekdays (20.00), indicating a slightly greater variability in the number of reservations made during weekends.
1.Reservation Trends by Location and Cuisine
Downtown Location: Shows significantly higher average reservations both during weekends and weekdays across all cuisines compared to rural and suburban areas. This suggests a strong preference for dining in downtown areas, possibly due to higher population density or better restaurant options.
Cuisine Popularity: In downtown areas, Italian and Indian cuisines show the highest average reservations, indicating a preference for these cuisines among diners.
2.Impact of Reservations on Revenue
Statistical Significance: The coefficients from the regression analysis indicate a strong positive relationship between the number of reservations and revenue. The coefficient for weekend reservations is particularly high (467918), with a very low p-value, suggesting that an increase in weekend reservations significantly boosts revenue.
Confidence Intervals: The confidence intervals ([456430, 479405] for weekends) are tight around the coefficients, further affirming the reliability of these estimates.
3.Visual Insights
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/gzyrBeKI0ncMt7wDornoPPXl0c.png)
Bar Charts: Visualizations confirm the numerical analysis, showing higher mean reservations on weekends and significantly higher reservations in downtown locations.
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/BW59D30uuESgPMtvdLwgvzakmtU.png)
Scatter Plot/Line Chart: Illustrates a clear positive trend between reservations and revenue, reinforcing the conclusion that more reservations lead to higher revenue, especially on weekends.
Overall, the data suggests that focusing marketing and operational efforts on increasing weekend reservations, particularly in downtown areas and for popular cuisines like Italian and Indian, could be an effective strategy for boosting revenue.
Customer Feedback Analysis
1.Correlation Analysis
Number of Reviews and Avg Review Length: The correlation coefficient is 0.0058, indicating a very weak positive correlation. This suggests that the number of reviews does not significantly influence the average length of the reviews.
Number of Reviews and Rating: The correlation coefficient is -0.0042, indicating a negligible negative correlation. This implies that the number of reviews has almost no impact on the ratings.
Review Length and Rating: The correlation coefficient is -0.0013, also showing a negligible negative correlation. This suggests that the length of reviews does not significantly affect the ratings.
2.Visualization of Correlations

The heatmap visualizes these correlations, with values close to zero across different metrics, reinforcing the conclusion of very weak relationships between the number of reviews, average review length, and ratings.
3.Analysis of Key Themes and Patterns in Feedback
Average Review Length: The data shows a mean of 174.77 words with a standard deviation of 71.9981 words. The minimum and maximum lengths are 50.01 and 8368 words, respectively.
Number of Reviews: The mean number of reviews is 523.01, with a standard deviation of 277.215. The minimum and maximum numbers of reviews are 50 and 8368, respectively.
Outliers: There are no outliers identified in both the average review length and the number of reviews, suggesting a relatively uniform distribution without extreme values.
4. Visualization of Trends in Feedback
![](https://framerusercontent.com/images/O5JLzC2zUQ7PHbcGSAGWHazHA.png)
The line graph shows a steep decline from the maximum values to more common values in both average review length and number of reviews. This indicates that while there are instances of very long reviews or high numbers of reviews, they are not common.
Summary
The analysis reveals that there is a very weak correlation between the number of reviews, average review length, and ratings, suggesting that these metrics do not significantly influence each other. The examination of feedback patterns indicates a typical range for review lengths and counts, with no significant outliers, pointing to a consistent pattern in customer feedback across the dataset. This analysis helps in understanding the general behavior of customers in terms of review engagement and content but shows that these factors do not strongly impact the ratings.
