This study aimed to identify the factors contributing to perceived healthiness by analyzing consumer reviews of healthy restaurants. While previous studies have primarily focused on the healthiness of food products, comprehensive research from the perspective of restaurants through online review analysis is limited. To achieve this, co-occurrence network analysis and LDA topic modeling, methods of text mining, were used to investigate consumers' health-related perceptions and preferences for healthy restaurants based on a large dataset of online reviews. The analysis revealed that consumers emphasize various health-related factors such as taste, ingredient categories, freshness, price, nutritional content, healthy options, and menu diversity when choosing healthy restaurants. These factors significantly influence the evaluation and selection of restaurants. Notably, it was found that the taste of food offered in healthy restaurants is closely linked to the perception of healthiness, highlighting the importance of a healthy taste derived from ingredients. In conclusion, this study provides practical insights into how healthy restaurants can reflect and meet consumers' health perceptions and suggests strategic directions for the food and dining industry to respond to health trends.

In March 2020, as it was declared a COVID-19 pandemic, various quarantine measures were taken. Accordingly, many changes have occurred in the tourism and hospitality industries. In particular, quarantine guidelines, such as the introduction of non-face-to-face services and social distancing, were implemented in the restaurant industry. For decades, research on restaurant attributes has emphasized the importance of three attributes: atmosphere, service quality, and food quality. Nevertheless, to the best of our knowledge, research on restaurant attributes considering the COVID-19 situation is insufficient. To respond to this call, this study attempted an exploratory approach to classify new restaurant attributes based on understanding environmental changes. This study considered 31,115 online reviews registered in Naverplace as an analysis unit, with 475 general restaurants located in Euljiro, Seoul. Further, we attempted to classify restaurant attributes by clustering words within online reviews through TF-IDF and LDA topic modeling techniques. As a result of the analysis, the factors of "prevention of infectious diseases" were derived as new attributes of restaurants in the context of COVID-19 situations, along with the atmosphere, service quality, and food quality. This study is of academic significance by expanding the literature of existing restaurant attributes in that it categorized the three attributes presented by existing restaurant attributes and further presented new attributes. Moreover, the analysis results have led to the formulation of practical recommendations, considering both the operational aspects of restaurants and policy implications.

This study attempts to investigate effects of service conveniences on perceived value and customer voluntary behavioral intention in family restaurants. We categorized service conveniences in five dimensions (i.e, decision, access, transaction, benefit, and post-benefit). We considered perceived value as having three parts, namely functional, emotional, and social. We also specified three segments of customer voluntary behavioral intention as participation, cooperation, and loyalty. The results showed that service conveniences such as transaction convenience, post-benefit convenience, and benefit convenience have an influence on functional value as a perceived value, but no effect from decision convenience and acceptability[this is a new variable to me]. In addition, access and benefit conveniences affect social value. When it comes to the effects of perceived value on customer voluntary behavioral intention, social value was found to affect participation and loyalty, while functional value appeared to influence cooperation.
