Sandwich Analytics: A Dataset Comprising One Year’s Weekly Sales Data Correlated with Crime, Demographics, and Weather
Description
Data collected from a quick-serve sandwich chain over one year provide opportunity for market, sociographic, meteorologic, and other factors impacting sales. The weekly sales table contains over 140,000 rows which each represent summary statistics for the sales of an individual menu item in one store during one week of the year. The data were collected from the point-of-sale system of 19 stores. Secondary data regarding weather patterns, population, location, competition, and crime were gathered and integrated with the original data set. Version 2 includes three corrections. First, two stores had one week of data where the date did not correspond to the beginning of the week. Those dates have been corrected to be standard with the rest of the data set. Second, several entries in the weather data did not match. These have been dropped. Finally, the date formats were standardized between weather and sales data for easier connection.
