DATA ANALYSIS

Based on graph: Bar graph shows that most of the respondent are neutral in respect to overall

experience at big cinemas and won’t mind visiting again to spend a leisure time. Talking weather

of ticket counter experience or security or any other prospect of the survey, the neutral customers

exceeds in each case in respect to satisfied and dissatisfied customers.

An observation is also made that there is no dissatisfaction

among the customers regarding the Audi experience which means that the visitors enjoy

watching the movie on wide screen. Most of the respondents are either satisfied or neutral in

Audi experience which is a positive sign for Big Cinemas as they achieve a remarkable success

in their core competency of movie showing.

A major constraint that comes into light on the basis of the graph representation is that,

there is bit dissatisfaction among the customers regarding snacks counter, and the reason is that

there is very less variety in the choice of the menu offered at the centre. The visiting customers

find it difficult to find a variety of menu to satisfy their belly when the feel hungry.

Other than snacks counter Big Cinemas has achieved a remarkable

achievement in pursuing their business in Ansal Plaza, Greater Noida. They have been able to

satisfy the customers of every segment to a large extent and has also succeeded in retaining their

customers.

Based on ANOVA

The terms Single Factor Analysis of Variance, Single Factor ANOVA, One Way Analysis of

Variance, and One Way ANOVA are used interchangeably to describe the situation where a

continuous response is being described in terms of a single factor composed of two or more

levels (categories). It is a generalization of Student's t test for independent samples to situations

with more that two groups.

ANOVA is used to test hypotheses about differences in the mean between two or more groups.

• ANOVA is used to compare multiple groups of observations.

• ANOVA examines how independent variables affect a dependent variable.

From the above data we can inculcate that courtesy off staff at the ticket counter is

1.72(average) which is tending towards satisfaction and is not subject of matter for the authority,

were as other hand the criteria such as speed of response and staff grooming is matter to debate

were the average is 2.04 and 2.07 respectively. All the variables are very close to 2 i.e neutral

level.

The variation in respect to the respondent in a particular group is very low that is 0.57 which is

showing that the response is tending towards neutral.

The average in all variables in this segment is less than two i.e. satisfactory. Only cleanliness is

going a bit beyond neutral level i.e. dissatisfaction. The variation in the response of the customer

in these four areas is very less and also the response of customer within the group i.e. on screen

presentation, sound & comfort of seat is somehow similar.



Snack counter

The average in choice of menu and taste i.e. 2.005 and 2.063 respectively is a matter of worry as

it is tending towards the dissatisfaction level. The level of satisfaction between the group and is

very high i.e. 0.82 in respect to within the group i.e. 0.62

All the variables in this segment i.e. ‘experience at big cinemas’ is fluctuating between 1-2

which shows that the customers visiting Big Cinema are lying between satisfied and neutral

state. But the respondents within the group vary with an average of 0.63 were as the variation is

very less in between the group i.e. 0.23

There is a direct correlation between overall eating experience and overall experience at big

cinema. It is reflecting that if level of satisfaction is not satisfactory at snacks counter, it will

affect the level of overall satisfaction at Big Cinema though overall experience at Big Cinema is

satisfactory.

CONCLUSION

• Staff Grooming at Ticket Counter

• Cleanliness

• Choice of Menu

• Taste

In the above written area experience of customers is either neutral or dissatisfied. The level of

dissatisfaction is high mainly at snacks counter regarding choice of menu and from the customer

suggestion I come to know that Cost of food is also a critical factor which makes customer

dissatisfy at snack counter.

I also come to know that service at Audi is satisfactory for the customers.

Most of the customers are delighted with Big Cinema’s service because it being their core

service. In the context of visiting again, most of the customers have shown a positive response.



RECOMMENDATIONS & ACTION PLAN

Staff grooming at ticket counter: The staff member has to be more responsive and polite to the

customers, for that it is needed that they should be more extrovert and communicative to the

visitors.

Attractive Choice of Menu and taste: The authority can ask the vendors in the campus to come

up with certain new munchies and can also allot the vacant space in the campus to new caterers.

And cost should be within limit that fetches profit for the vendor and is also able to attract

customers.

Cleanliness of wash room: Special attention should be given on cleanliness of the wash room

area to provide the customers a hygienic environment.

Overall Eating Experience v/s Overall Experience at Big Cinema: From the core relation

between these two it is clearly visible that overall eating experience is effecting overall

experience at Big Cinema and at the ticket counter customers are not satisfied. So the focus

should be at snacks counter to increase the overall satisfaction level.

Customer Relationship management: Customer relationship management is a critical factor to

increase market share .For that Big Cinema has to collect the data base of the customer and it can

be done at the ticket counter while booking ticket customer can be asked some basic information

and this information can be used for mobile marketing.

Attractive Gift Ticket: To increase customer’s visiting frequency some attracting gifts ticket

can arranged such as giving the 5th

ticket free after 4th

visit, but for the 5th

visit administrator has

to set s specific time during which the visit of customer is currently very less.
