The purpose of this study was to examine the designs of the menu books as an important tool of marketing and then present its improvement strategies. For this, the investigator comparatively examined the current status of menu book designs of the restaurants in Incheon area with 295 managers and then analyzed menu book designs by its designers. Menu book designers were printing houses (42.0%), specialized business (31.9%) and managers/employees (26.1%). 51.5% of menu books were impossible to substitute partially. Even there were seasonal menus or event menus, 27.5% of them were impossible to replace menu books partially; therefore, it was impossible to take a prompt action for seasonal or event menus. The easiness of understanding the terminology in menu books was average $2.74{\pm}0.45$(3-point scale). The harmony of menu book design with restaurants was average $2.46{\pm}0.51$ (3-point scale). Comparing to the menu books designed in specialized business, the menu books designed in printing houses or by managers/employees were uniform in type sizes (p < 0.001), had no menu photos (p < 0.001) and explanations (p < 0.001), and did not classify menus by groups (p < 0.001) in general. In addition, profit-making menus were not properly emphasized (p < 0.001), thus making the design of menu books a little improper. Therefore, it is necessary to educate managers in the restaurants to understand the importance of menu books and thus improve it. In addition, by maintaining close communication with designers of menu books, managers in the restaurants must ensure for their menu books to be designed appropriately, thus making their menu books play the role of an important marketing tool.

본 연구에서는 서비스 청사진의 개념과 작성 방법 및 그 활용 의의를 문헌 연구를 통해 고찰하고, 서비스 청사진 기법을 활용하여 고급 레스토랑, 패밀리 레스토랑, 패스트푸드점의 서비스 청사진을 설계하고 각 레스토랑 유형별 차이점을 분석하고자 하였다. 레스토랑 유형에 따른 분석한 결과, 고급 레스토랑과 패밀리 레스토랑은 유사한 서비스 청사진을 나타낸 반면 패스트푸드점은 다른 형태로 나타났는데, 이는 고급 레스토랑과 패밀리 레스토랑은 풀서비스 레스토랑(full-service restaurant)이지만 패스트푸드점은 셀프 서비스 시스템(self-service system)이므로 차이를 나타낸 것으로 조사되었다. 고급 레스토랑과 패밀리 레스토랑에는 전화 예약과 주차 관련 항목이 있고, 그 중 일부 패밀리 레스토랑에서는 테이크아웃을 하고 있는 점이 차이가 있었다. 패스트푸드점은 전화 예약, 주차 등이 서비스 청사진에서 생략되어 상대적으로 간단한 도면으로 나타났으며, 전화 주문 및 배달 서비스가 있는 점이 다른 두 유형의 레스토랑과 다르게 나타났다. 각 레스토랑 유형별로 상호작용선, 가시선, 내부적 상호작용선, 실행선을 중심으로 5개 구간으로 나뉘었다. 상호작용선을 중심으로 고객의 행동과 서비스 인카운터 접점 종업원의 행동으로 나뉘었으며, 가시선을 중심으로 눈에 보이는 부분과 눈에 보이지 않는 부분으로 나뉘었다. 내부적 상호작용선을 중심으로 일선과 후방으로 나뉘었고, 실행선을 중심으로 지원 부문과 관리 부문으로 나뉘었다. 본 연구에서는 질적 연구 방법인 서비스 청사진 기법을 활용하여 중점적으로 관리해야 할 서비스 인카운터를 확인하고자 하였으나, 레스토랑 서비스 인카운터에 청사진 기법을 활용한 초기 연구였기 때문에 가시적으로 레스토랑 유형간 차이를 나타내는 정도의 성과를 나타냈다. 앞으로 서비스 청사진에 대해 연구할 때 각 스텝 간의 시간을 측정한다면, 어떤 지점에서 서비스 지연이 일어나는지 확인할 수 있을 것이라 생각된다. 또한 서비스 청사진과 CIT(Critical Incident Technique) 방법을 병행하면 서비스 실패를 사전에 예방하기 위해 중점 관리해야 할 지점에 대해 더 많은 정보를 얻을 수 있으리라고 사료된다.
