Evaluation of Restaurant Activity of Cities and Districts of the Zakarpattia Oblast by the Hierarchy Analysis Method

Abstract

In order to make the right management decisions and build a management model, it is necessary not only to analyse statistical data but also to consider the weight effect of their characteristics on the optimal choice of decision. The aim of the study is to build hierarchical models for evaluating the activities of restaurants providing mobile food services in cities and districts of the region using the statistical indicators “Number of enterprises” and “Volume of services sold” for a certain period. The article presents a comparative assessment of the performance of restaurant enterprises in cities and districts of the Transcarpathian region using the Saati method for the last quarter of 2017 and 2018. The method of hierarchy analysis was chosen for the assessment due to its versatility, as it can be used not only to analyse and compare the state of the industry or individual enterprise, but also to make more complex management decisions and forecast the situation. The research conducted by this method allowed to evaluate the activity of restaurant enterprises by integrating several indicators, identify the criteria that will allow making the right management decisions to improve the management policy in the region, identify depressed areas in need of investment and government regulation. The scientific novelty is to build a hierarchical model of evaluation of restaurant enterprises using fully consistent matrices of pairwise comparisons obtained by transforming indicators of economic activity into dimensionless criteria of the hierarchical model of Thomas Saaty. The conducted research using the method of hierarchy analysis allowed to rank cities and districts by quantitative assessment of the level of efficiency of the restaurant industry, to identify those criteria that will allow making the right management decisions to improve the efficiency of the restaurant industry in cities and districts
