Waiter tips

I opened the notebook and wrote the introduction, then moved on to the next project without writing any code.

Original tutorial by Aman Kharwal: Waiter Tips Analysis & Prediction (opens in a new tab)

What it printed in 2022

Nothing useful was printed, because the notebook did not get that far.

Where it stopped

The notebook has a single markdown cell and no code.

The data

The tutorial uses the classic restaurant tips table. Nothing was loaded.

What I'd do differently

  • Finish it, starting with the simplest baseline: predict the average tip as a share of the bill.
  • Then check whether party size, day or smoker add anything beyond the bill amount.
