Meesho Case Study Question

Meesho Case Study Question


Punjabi By Nature, a restaurant in Bangalore, delivers and serves food to its customer. It has been in the business for the last 10 years. Recently the owner heard about Data Science and they want to leverage the opportunity in order to boost its revenue. The restaurant has been collecting the following data since the last 10 years:-
1. Name of Customer
2. Sex of Customer
3. Age of Customer
4. Food item code

Your job is to recommend 2 food items to a customer new to the restaurant. Answer the following questions:-

a. Looking at the data, provide 3 findings for the restaurant to boost their performance

Proposed Solution.

i. Food item combination can help you recommend a particular item. For example, if people prefer curd with Parathas, then you can recommend it
ii. A list of the most popular food item
iii. Looking at the customer’s age and sex you can decide what to offer to a new customer. If the data suggests that a girl in the age group 20-25 likes chocolate ice cream then you can recommend this ice cream to the new girl customer 

b. Think of 4 more data points that might help you with the analysis

Proposed Solution

i. Pincode of delivery
ii. Time of order
iii. Phone Number
iv. Date and Day of service 

c. Now, what else can you find out from this data?

Proposed Solution

i. Day of service can get you the popular food item on each day and weekend

iii. The phone number to inform about new offers
iv. Time of order can get you the time at which the restaurant should shoot a particular offer for a specific food item
