Welcome to the "WAITER TIPPING PROBLEM" project! This project utilizes machine learning to predict the tipping behavior of customers based on various dining experience metrics. The core model employs a Decision Tree Regressor to estimate the tip amount given user inputs on various aspects such as food quality, service quality, ambiance, wait time, and the total bill amount.
The primary goal of this project is to develop a predictive model to help estimate the tip amount a customer might leave at a restaurant. This could be beneficial for:
- Restaurant staff to better understand and predict tipping behaviors.
- Customers to gauge an appropriate tip based on their dining experience.
The model takes into account the following features:
- Food Quality: Rating of the food quality (1-5)
- Service Quality: Rating of the service quality (1-5)
- Ambiance: Rating of the restaurant's ambiance (1-5)
- Wait Time: Rating of the waiting time (1-5)
- Price: Total bill amount ($)
To run this project, the following libraries are necessary:
scikit-learn
numpy
matplotlib
You can install these libraries using pip:
pip install scikit-learn numpy matplotlib
-
Clone the repository:
git clone https://github.com/your-username/waiter-tipping-problem.git cd waiter-tipping-problem
-
Run the Jupyter Notebook: Open
Waiter Tipping Problem.ipynb
in Jupyter Notebook or JupyterLab and execute the cells to train the model and make predictions based on user inputs.
Here is an example code snippet used in this project:
from sklearn.tree import DecisionLikeRegressor
import numpy as np
# Define features and the target (tip amount)
features = [...]
target = [...]
# Load and prepare data, train the model
...
# Predict tip based on user input
predicted_tip = model.predict(user_features)
print(f"Predicted Tip: ${predicted_tip:.2f}")
