Abstract
A utility for determining the competitors of a subject restaurant accesses a database that contains information about other, nearby restaurants. The utility assigns a competitor score to each restaurant within the maximum radius based on the distance from the subject restaurant, as well as the cuisine types, menus, and order histories of the subject and competitor restaurants.
