The Objective

The challenge was analyzing Fast Food Restaurant data in the USA.

The list is of 10,000 fast-food restaurants provided by Datafiniti’s Business Database. The dataset includes each restaurant's addresses, cities, latitudes, longitude coordinates, names, and more.

The Plot

While scrutinizing the dataset and adding the info to a table chart, I was trying to see the hand I got dealt. It was evident that the MacDonald's Food franchise dominated almost every category, and the light-bulb moment happened.

A few months prior, I watched a documentary named #McMillion$!

It's a detailed account of the McDonald's Monopoly game scam during the 1990s as told by the participants in the case, including the prizewinners and the FBI agents involved.

Anyway, this is where the McMillion$ 🃏 Joker Edition 🃏 was born.

The Design
