Hospitality Reservation Activation

The following use case demonstrates the usage of hospital reservation activation based on the values populated in Google Sheets.

Description

For this Use Case, the Google Sheet is populated with percentage of reservation on two restaurants Restaurant1 and Restaurant2. A formula is applied based on values of Restaurant1 and Restaurant2 and based on the formula, value 1 or 2 is assigned to the AdTarget Column.

If the value of Restaurant1 > Restaurant2, then AdTaget is assigned value 1 otherwise AdTarget is assigned value 2. Value 1 generates Steak food option and Value 2 results in display of Thai food option on your display screen.
