In this study, we selected 12 typical traditional restaurants in Korea and China and analyzed their application of traditional design approach. Through this analysis, we tried to explore similarities and differences of Korean restaurants and Chinese restaurants in order to determine the preferable way to express their own traditional design. We categorized traditional design approach as cultural elements, designing method, coloring and materials. The results are as follows: First, following a tradition and interpreting a tradition are considered as compelling design methods to express traditional culture. However, when combining a traditional and a modern design approach, it is important to either strongly emphasize traditional design elements or use small number of traditional design elements as focal points in modern design restaurants. Second, when designing a traditional restaurant using modern design elements with traditional focal points, it is more desirable to follow and/or to interpret a traditional elements, rather than experimenting an excessively unconventional design. Moreover, the design elements of exterior of a restaurant shows the identity of the restaurant. Therefore, using traditional elements in the exterior helps recognizing the traditional characteristics and culture. On the other hands, for the interior of the restaurant, it is better to use modern design method and materials for the practical reasons, such as construction cost reduction and ease of construction. We also discovered that it is more effective to use traditional elements to the pattern and color. The results of this study will set a foundation for further research of developing a design guideline for traditional restaurants.

The purpose of this study was to apply the activity-based costing (ABC) model to restaurant menu costing. The overhead cast of six entr${\acute{e}}$es in XYZ restaurant was calculated for all levels of activity. When comparing activity-based costing with traditional costing applied to BBQ pork rib and an assorted seafood platter, the total difference of costs between two items was 2,191 won in activity-based costing and 600 won in traditional costing. The average food cast percentage of the six entr${\acute{e}}$es was 27% using traditional costing, while the average activity-based cost percentage was 40%. Therefore, there was a 13% difference between the actual margin volume and the expected margin volume. The application of activity-based costing to the restaurant industry would be a milestone from a cost point of view as well as from a process point of view. In particular, the limitation that traditional costing only accounts for food costs could be overcome b considering the overhead cost as an important part of the cast structure. Furthermore, activity-based costing would not only help to reduce the costs associated with the process of analyzing the activities but it would also provide more accurate cost information for menu pricing.

The objective of this study was to analyze the characteristics of traditionality expressions at modernized Chinese restaurant in Hong Kong. As a case study, the study examined 12 modernized Chinese restaurants in Hong Kong. The gathered data were categorized and examined according to the ways of traditionality expressions, which included reproduction, transformation, and reinterpretation of traditional components. Each of the components was measured for the amount of traditional or modernity expression on a five-point scale. The five-point scoring system put an emphasis on heritage; 1 point was given to principal modernity(modernity: 90-100% + tradition: 0-10%), 2 points were given to principal modernity + auxiliary tradition(modernity: 70-90% + tradition: 10-30%), 3 points were given to the same ratio between tradition and modernity(modernity: 40-60% + tradition: 40-60%), 4 points were given to principal tradition + auxiliary modernity(modernity: 10-30% + tradition: 70-90%), and 5 points were given to principal tradition(modernity: 0-10% + tradition: 90-100%). The analysis performed according to those criteria and methodologies led to the following findings and conclusions: Traditional components were most reproduced in the ornaments placed all over the restaurant and applied to the chirography of the restaurant logos, walls, and windows/doors in a big number. The methodology of transforming tradition was evenly applied to each of the spatial components. With the most transformations occurring to the lattices, there were many different ways to transform tradition including the partition, chirography, pattern, red lantern, furniture and ornament, and traditional materials that were turned into modern ones. Few examples of reinterpreting tradition were observed in the restaurant titles, inside floors, and ceilings, but plenty of examples were found in the walls, windows/doors, lighting, and furniture in a range of ways. Most of them reinterpreted the traditional forms and added altered patterns to them to remind customers of tradition. In short, all of the three ways of expressing tradition were actively applied to each component in an array of ways.

This paper presented analysis on the perception by Korean restaurant employees of Korean royal cuisine. Classification using a subjective research method called Q methodology was performed on perceptions of Korean restaurant employees about Korean royal cuisine. This paper derived four types of perceptions. First type (pursuit of tradition) emphasized traditions of royal cuisine, i.e. cooking method and spacious menu-setting on the table. The second type (pursuit of refinement) stressed the importance of "atmosphere and luxuriousness of Korean restaurants and sophistication of royal cuisine, as well as the improvement of interior and exterior environments of Korean restaurants serving royal cuisine. The third type (pursuit of fundamentals) focused on fundamentals of royal cuisine itself such as raw materials, sincere effort, historical meaning, appropriate prices, etc. The last type (pursuit of health) valued a nutritionally balanced diet rather than taste itself. This study provides more specific positioning strategy based on the characteristics of each of the four classifications for the status of Korean restaurants.
