  Yelp has served and will continue to serve as a data-driven application. Yelp
has published a dataset containing business information, reviews, user
information, and check-in information. This paper will examine this dataset to
provide descriptive analytics to understand business performance, geo-spatial
distribution of businesses, reviewers' rating and other characteristics, and
temporal distribution of check-ins in business premises. With these analysis we
are able to establish that yelp reviews, tips, elite users and check ins have
started to plummet over the years. Coincidentally, the paper also establishes
that Canadians have a more stable star ratings as well as sentiment ratings
when compared to Americans.
