Conclusion
The analysis that has been conducted by the evaluation of the collected data reveals the areas or regions where the business restaurant has been doing well and the particular areas where the revenues earned by the restaurants have not been satisfactory. The different facilities provided by the spreadsheet have made the entire analytical process easy to execute and understand. The pivot tables that have been used in the study help in the proper extraction of the data from a pool of information and facilitate the presentation of the data in the required format so that it can be interpreted and analyzed by the user efficiently (Bodie, Kane & Marcus, 2014).
The region that has obtained the highest amount of revenue in terms of sales is NSW. However, the region that has obtained the lowest amount of revenue in terms of sales is Tasmania. However, it should be noted here that the total number of seats in the restaurant that has been placed in NSW is 11043, while the total number of seats in the lowest revenue-generating restaurant is 1187. This means that the poor performance by the unit in Tasmania is not only due to the fact that the restaurant in Tasmania has not been functioning efficiently but also that the infrastructure or the capacity of the restaurant is very less. Thus, in order to increase the revenue generation by the Tasmanian unit the number of seats should be increased. Moreover, the number of restaurants in Tasmania has also been the lowest signifying the fact that the number of restaurants in Tasmania should also increase (Grant, 2016).
Another important observation that arises from the analysis is that the number of restaurants that engage in advertisements in NSW is 43 out of a total, of 53. However, the number of advertising restaurants in comparison to the total number of restaurants in the other regions has been high. This particular phenomenon indicates that the success of the restaurants do not depend on extensive advertisement campaigns but on the quality service provided by the facility. It is highly recommended that the business units focus more on the quality of service provided rather than extensive advertisement campaigning by business (Lisboa, Skarmeas & Saridakis, 2016).
However, the restaurants in Tasmania and other relatively low performing units should consider the utilization of the advertising campaigns in order to achieve the fullest utilization of its capacities.
The data quality issue that may arise from this particular analysis project is the availability of a common platform for the evaluation of the performance of the restaurants that belong to different regions. This means that in this study the performance of the restaurants have been analyzed on the basis of the revenue generated. However, increase in the number of restaurants will automatically increase the total revenue that has been derived by the region. On the other hand, the region having less number of restaurants will generate less revenue even if the resources are being optimally utilized. Therefore, a micro looks into the quality aspect of the restaurants belonging to different regions would have strengthened the quality of the results reflected by this report (Takata, 2016).
