Introduction
Why This Matter?
Content:
Objective: The goal is to uncover insights for Techie Pizza. For example.
Trends: Are Fridays consistently the busiest day ? Is CLASSIC the best-selling category?
Is the cake pizza leading in sales because of its ingredients
Areas of improvement: Is veggie category really underperforming, perhaps due its ingredient or low
customer traffic?
The objective above is to tell the management team that the analysis will help them make
decisions, like promoting popular pizzas or addressing issues on the underperforming pizzas.
Time Period: January-December 2015
Scope: All four categories of pizzas sales. For example.
The barbecue chicken pizza is leading in sales due to its popularity and love for chicken
The veggie category is underperforming due to its combination of ingredients

Sale’s Overview
Business Implications
Revenue Chart Implications
Cash Flow Management: Your business maintains steady revenue ($- range) even when order
volumes fluctuate dramatically - this is excellent for financial planning and loan commitments.
Premium Strategy Works: Higher revenue during lower-order periods means customers are buying more
expensive pizzas/combos when they do order - your upselling is effective.
Order Chart Implications
Operational Flexibility Needed: Order swings of 30% (3,000 to 4,300) require flexible staffing and inventory
management to avoid waste or understaffing.
Customer Retention Risk: Fewer orders could mean losing customers to competitors - need retention
campaigns during low months.
Business Insights
Pricing Power: We can charge premium prices when demand drops - customers who stay are less pricesensitive.
Staffing Strategy: We can plan for 30% staff reduction in Sept-Oct, then do a rapid hiring for Nov recovery.
Profitability Focus: September-October might be our most profitable months (fewer orders but stable revenue
= higher margins per order).
Growth Opportunity: The order volatility suggests untapped market potential – our consistent in marketing
could smooth these fluctuations and boost overall revenue.
Bottom Line: We have a resilient revenue model but volatile customer engagement - our focus should be
on customer retention and operational flexibility.

Pizza’s Performance
What’s Hot On The Menu?
Revenue Distribution
Champion: Thai Chicken Pizza leads at $43,434.25 (34% of top 3
revenue)
Close Second: Barbecue Chicken Pizza at $42,768.00 (33% )
Third Place: California Chicken Pizza at $41,409.50 (32% )
Business Insights
Chicken Dominance: All top performers are chicken-based pizzas this
clearly states that customers have a clear protein preference that drives
sales.
Revenue Balance: Remarkably even split ($2,000 difference between 1
and 3) indicates we have multiple strong sellers, not just one star product.
Menu Strategy: These three pizzas represent our core profit drivers they
should get prime menu placement and consistent ingredient availability.
Customer Preference: The tight competition suggests diverse taste
preferences within our chicken-loving customer base - Thai, BBQ , and
California styles all perform equally well.
Marketing Opportunity: Since performance is so close, we can do a small
promotional pushes which could easily shift rankings and boost overall
chicken pizza category sales.
Bottom Line: We've struck gold with chicken pizzas – our focus should be
marketing and operations around this protein while we maintain quality
across all three winners.

Pizza’s Performance
Worst Selling Pizza Chart
Data Insights
Bottom Performer: Mexicana leads underperformers at $2,000 revenue
Consistent Struggle: All five pizzas cluster between $1,000-$2,000 - extremely low sales
Names: Green Garden, Don Alfredo's, Calabrese, and The Greek also underperform
Business Implications & Insights
Menu Optimization: These pizzas are taking up valuable menu space and ingredient costs – I suggest we consider
removing them.
Cost Drain: Low sales mean ingredients expire, storage costs increase, and staff waste time on unpopular items.
Customer Feedback: These failures clearly reveal what our market doesn't want – we should avoid similar flavor profiles
in future.

Champion: Thai Chicken dominates at 30,000 sales
Strong Performers: Five Cheese, Four Cheese, Spicy Thai, and Big Meat all perform well (22,000-26,000 range)

Business Implications & Insights
Focus Strategy: These five pizzas generate most of our sales - prioritizing their quality and availability will boost overall
revenue
Marketing Gold: We can use these proven sellers in promotions and featured menu positions.
Profit Maximization: We should make sure these pizzas have optimal pricing and upselling opportunities.

Customer Insights
Techie Pizza Context: Data from January-December 2015 shows that the THAI_CKN generates 5.31% of the total revenue, our customers
tends to order this most due to the unique and delicious combination of flavors and textures.
The Chicken category shows that 26.91% of our customer order pizza under this category mostly because of its loyal program(Buy Two & Get
One For Free) and its popularity
Based on recent reviews on our official websites this data shows that 30% of customer dropped bad reviews and comments on the Veggie
category of pizza regarding the combination of ingredient used and the texture of the pizza.
The Loyalty program on the Chicken category, offering a free pizza after two orders, drives 20% of sales from repeat customers. This suggests
a young , digital-first customer base that values convenience and rewards.
Impacts: Marketing can target young professionals on social media (e.g., Instagram ads) and expand the loyalty program to boost repeat
purchases.

Challenges & Opportunities
Challenges: The brie_carre pizza accounts for only 1.42% of sales ($11,588.50), possibly due to its low demand because of its flavor and
texture. Delivery delays on Friday as the busiest day during lunch hours 12-2PM (30% of orders) cause customer complaints, averaging 35
minutes vs domino’s 25 minutes.
Opportunities: Promote extra cheese (2,000 units sold) and soda (1,500 units) as upsells items , especially with the barbecue chicken
pizzas (5.23% of revenue). Target dinner hours (6-8PM, currently only 10% of orders) with meal deals. Monetize the mobile app as we
generate a lot of traffic than the official website.
Impact: Removing or rebranding the brie_carre pizza could free up menu space or rather do a thorough check through of its ingredients.
Promotion on the barbecue chicken pizzas could boost sales by 20%, and faster delivery could improve ratings.
Recommendations
1.Launch a $5,000 social media campaign on the barbecue chicken pizza targeting college students to boost its sales, leveraging
Instagram ads for the adult customers.
2.Introduce another combo deal related to the barbecue chicken pizza which is under chicken category to supreme category ( The
classic deluxe pizza + extra cheese + soda) to start a sale competition with the thai chicken pizza.
3.Hire additional delivery drivers for Fridays 6-8PM 30% of daily orders, to reduce delivery time from 35 minutes to 25 minutes, matching
domino’s
Impact: Media campaign could increase by 20%, combo deals could boost add-on revenue by 15%, and faster delivery could improve
customer ratings from 4.5 to 4.7/5
4. Reinforce the brand with a subtle pizza or logo.
