The Restaurant Case
John
Jack used to come a lot, why he hasn't showed up for a while?
Why Bill's bar is more popular?
Is Roy a slow server?
Vancouver's best selling beer
Average cost to run a restaurant

Query From Computer
Busiest hour of the week
Data Driven Decision
John
People like the happy hour in Bill's Bar so much that the keep going there even when it's not happy hour.
Roy is a great server, he sells more food, and that's why it seems like he is slow.
The Honey BBQ Rib is the best seller, and it has 10% chance of sold out during weekend. So get enough stock before weekend.
But,is that good enough?

Meh~
Look!

Hey John, let's talk.
Factor 1, 34, 42443, 254432 & 4342343214 are the most significant factors. Align your strategies in those factors with the best restaurants. You can beat Bill's Bar in a week.
