Project Objective

The primary goal of this project was to simulate a real-world product analytics scenario by answering key business questions such as:

  • What drives overall platform revenue?
  • Which customer segments generate the most value?
  • How do ratings impact order volume and revenue?
  • Which cuisines and restaurants dominate performance?
  • Is pricing aligned with perceived customer value?

Tools & Technologies

  • Python (Pandas) — Data cleaning, transformation, and feature engineering
  • Tableau — Dashboard development and visual analytics
  • Excel — Raw data storage

Data Processing & Engineering (Python)

The full data pipeline is implemented in:
src/zomato_analysis.py

Steps Performed:

  1. Loaded multiple datasets (Orders, Users, Restaurants, Food)
  2. Removed duplicates and invalid transactions
  3. Standardized column names
  4. Merged datasets into a unified analytical table
  5. Engineered business metrics:
    • Cost per item
    • Rating buckets (Poor / Average / Good / Excellent / Unknown)
    • Price segmentation (Budget / Mid / Premium)
    • Year & Month extraction for trend analysis
  6. Exported final dataset for Tableau visualization

Raw datasets and Tableau workbook are intentionally excluded.
