Title: Determining the Restaurant Rating from social media big data using data mining
techniques

There is a possibility that this research will be pushed through. Social media is very
relevant nowadays. A lot of restaurants and other related industries promotes their product using
social medias since a lot of people are using them; people are very active with their social media
accounts specially the teenagers. Customers tend to post places they went to or the food they ate
during that day that’s why owners of the restaurant or other related industries opt to make their
places picture friendly or visually pleasing. Customers show their reviews through posting, it
helps promote the restaurants. What I am trying to point out is, for the researcher to also consider
another factor, which is the design of the place; it adds to the ‘wow’ factor of the place.

“Customer choice varies from country to country, even city to city. So it is very challenging to
determine the rating based on the customer review from different countries.”
The researcher should also consider this as a factor. Every country has foods they are
accustomed to, some customers might find the taste of your foods strange because they are not
used in eating it, and some might love them. If the researcher really wants to find out if the
quality of the food is good, the researcher should get the rating of the people living around the
area. If the people living in that area likes the taste of the food, then people outside the area
would be curious why they like the food and would be convinced to try it. But if the researcher
insist to use reviews from different countries, he/she should also be open and not be biased about
the reviews and choose only the good ones.
All in all, the research is a good one. The researcher just need to consider other factors,
the social media might or might not be very reliable.
