The Impact of the Rise of Takeaway Industry on the Income of Shanghai’s Catering Industry

Abstract

This paper takes the city of Shanghai as the object, and examines the impact of the takeaway industry on the operating income of the catering industry in Shanghai. A linear regression model is used to establish a prediction model for the operating income of the catering industry and the takeaway industry. Considering the time node of the rise of the takeaway industry, the development trend of the catering industry's business income before the rise of takeaway is fitted, and the significance of the impact of the rise of takeaway on the catering industry's income is quantified based on the prediction error by comparing the prediction results with the actual data. Six key indicators of the national economy were selected to establish a multiple regression forecasting model for the catering industry's business income, and a factor analysis model based on the weighting of variables was proposed to analyse the impact of national economic growth and the rise of the takeaway industry on the catering industry's business income.
