Numerical Definitions
A patron who dines for the first time in this month is considered a New Patron.
Patrons dining more than once, i.e., the second visit onwards, are categorized as Regular Patron.
The calculation of new patron groups includes all queueings, bookings, walk-ins, and waitlist patrons.
The determination of whether a patron is new is based on the Reservation Date, the standard for determining whether each patron is a new patron is based on whether it is Per Month. For examples:
Example 1: Patron A and Patron B
A has 3 reservations in January 2024.
B has 1 reservation in January 2024.
Result: In January 2024, there are 2 regular patrons and 2 new patrons.
Example 2: Patron C and Patron D
C has 2 reservations in December 2023 and 1 reservation in January 2024.
D has 1 reservation in January 2024.
Result: In December 2023, there is 1 new patron and 1 regular patron.
In January 2024, there are 0 regular patrons and 2 new patrons.
＊Note: Currently, the count of new patron groups includes Canceled reservations, and it does not consider whether the patron is eventually Seated.
