Custom Data Warehouse & Reporting Portal for RESTAURANT CHain

A leading restaurant chain wanted to make data-driven decisions but faced significant roadblocks due to disorganized, scattered, and unstructured data across multiple departments, including:

- Sales Data (from POS systems)

- Customer Feedback (from surveys and loyalty programs)

- Inventory & Food Costing (from supply chain data)

- Wastage Metrics (from kitchen reporting)

- Financial Reports (from accounting software)

While many companies rely on third-party BI tools like Power BI or Tableau, this client wanted full control over their data storage, transformation, and visualization without vendor dependency.

Key challenges included:

1. Lack of Centralized Data Storage: Business data was fragmented across multiple applications, making it hard to access.
   
2. Manual Report Creation: Employees spent hours compiling reports from multiple sources, increasing errors.
   
3. Inability to Slice & Dice Data: Predefined static reports lacked interactivity, preventing deeper analysis.
   
4. High Costs of Third-Party BI Tools: Licensing and customization costs for external BI solutions were a concern.
   

The company needed a self-hosted, fully customized reporting solution that provided dynamic dashboards, real-time insights, and seamless drill-down capabilities tailored to their business needs.

To address this, data was extracted from multiple sources and consolidated into a single data warehouse. A custom web application was created to meet the client’s specific needs. The dashboard was designed with dynamic graphs and table layouts to provide comparisons, trends, and growth insights for each KPI.
