Abstract:

It is difficult to agree on a restaurant to eat at, especially in groups which make it time-consuming. An intelligent recommendation system is presented in this work which leverages machine learning and the genetic algorithms for restaurant selection based on user behaviour. The system has been executed like a web-based app that makes recommendations for the individual and group alike. It also helps to reduce the choice overload of the target audience or user group. Because the approach is data-driven it is better than random. After testing, its efficacy is proven in making decision making easy for one and all.
