11. Recommendations on Ramen Reviews

To analyse the poor reviews of Raymond for the questions which can be asked are about the average number of times noodles eaten per week, preference of wheat/flour-based, preference of spicy/tangy/salty/sugar flavour, and the quantity purchased.

Based on reviews of top-rated customers, the preferred quantity, wheat/flour-based, preference of spicy/tangy/salty/sugar flavour should be incorporated in the new ramen product. This is expected to be beneficial for sales.

The top 3 customers belong to the country of Japan (17%) and the United States (12%) and South Korea (11%). The countries with most reviews need a new ramen flavour launch. These countries are Japan, United States, South Korea, Taiwan, China, and Thailand. This is because noodles are already popular in these countries.
