QSR Sales Forecasting

This demo is a scaled-down version of a production application using Taipy, which performs sales forecasting for a renowned quick service restaurant (QSR) franchise. This business problem involves time series forecasting for several core business activities of the QSR, such as sales made on drinks or the number of transactions made at the front counter.

Understanding the Application

This application showcases various capabilities of Taipy, including:

  1. The use of Taipy Scenario management to handle the forecasting process -- encapsulating each forecast execution as a Scenario, persisting the parameters and results for future reference and evaluation.
  2. The use of Taipy GUI to easily create a multi-page application, featuring a navigation sidebar and a top panel for selecting a Scenario, where both panels are present and used on every page.
  3. Demonstrates a mini version of a real implemented system that uses Taipy to facilitate their sales forecasting.
