Gratuity added onto check Problem Statement: You are working at the restaurant and when owner hears you studied TQM at the University, asks you to convert raw data from paper customer comment forms at each table s into a Pareto Chart. The owner asks you to do the following tasks: 1. Create an Excel file a. Label the first worksheet 'Pareto Chart'. b. Label the second worksheet 'Customer Comments' and paste the data from the included text file, then assign each comment to one of the following nine categories (note: not all comments fit neatly into a category, so use your judgment as to the best place to put them. However, each comment must belong to one and only one category): Cleanliness Other Parking Website Food Prep Menu Service Unknown c. Create a Pareto Chart based on the distribution of comments by categories. Note: this will require doing a Pivot Chart to count the number of records in each comment category. Follow the instructions shown in the video (5m 26s) at: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMWq 48_TsNo, which explains the chart mechanics in detail. d. Insert a textbox under the Pareto Chart and answer the following questions: What is the summary of what this chart shows? What are your recommendations to management?
