Recommendation

Aling Lala should invest in her beverages and make sure these items are always in stock, especially Royal, her bestseller. She can also consider increasing the price for these items by a few pesos or centavos in order to also increase her profit margin on these items.

Similarly, Aling Lala should also always keep cooking products such as cooking oil and corned beef well stocked as these are high-ticket items that guarantee high sales and profits.
