What Canvas: What is the Nature of the Problem?

               What is the problem?                      ●   Large amounts of unconsumed food items are lying in the
                                                            form of leftovers at the restaurants which is either thrown or
                                                            distributed for free to needy people.

                                                         ●   Restaurants  have  to  bear  financial  losses  due  to  everyday
                                                            wastage of food.
                                                         ●   Market  surveys  show  that  restaurant  owners  are  facing
                                                            problems of food wastage.


              Where Canvas: Where Does the Problem Arise?

                What is the context/situation in which the  ●  Restaurants that serve buffets.
                stakeholders experience this problem?     ●   The leftover unconsumed food at the end of day.





              Why Canvas: Why Do You Think It is a Problem Worth Solving?

                What  would  be  of  key  value  to  the  A correct estimate of food to be prepared every day, will reduce
                stakeholders?                           food wastage.

                How would it improve their situation?   ●  No food or less food is left unconsumed.
                                                        ●   Reduction in financial losses due to food wastage.

              After the 4Ws canvas let’s put them together in the Problem statement template.

                Our                               Restaurant Owners.                                    Who?

                Have a problem of                 Financial losses due to food wastage.                 What?
                While                             Due to lack of proper estimation, food is unconsumed  Where?
                                                  and wasted.
                An ideal solution would be        To provide an effective system to predict the amount of  Why?
                                                  food to be prepared for every day consumption.
              To conclude the Problem statement template, goal of our project should be: “To predict the quantity of food
              dishes to be prepared for everyday consumption in restaurant buffets, to avoid wastage”.


              Stage 2: Data Acquisition

              Once the problem is identified, the next step is to acquire data for testing and training our AI-based project. For
              this we need to understand the kind of data to be collected. The data features are used to define the type of
              data that needs to be acquired to achieve the goals of our project.
              In the above example, the data features that will be considered for the preparation of food for the next day
              buffet for consumption are as follows:

              •  Total number of customers.          •  Quantity of dish prepared.
              •  Dish consumption.                   •  Unconsumed quantity of dish per day.
              •  Price of the dish.                  •  Quantity of dish for the next day.
