The purpose of this study was to analyze sensory evaluation, to assess visual serving size and plate waste estimates of daily menu, and the identify customer expectation, perception and satisfaction. Questionnaires of sensory evaluation, serving size and were waste were developed and hand-delivered to 2,520 people. A total of 2,255 questionnaires were usable: a 89.5% response rate. Customer satisfaction questionnaires were handed out to 700 customers: (100 each at seven operations). A total of 551 were returned completed (78.7%). The data was analyzed using the SAS package program for Descriptive Analysis, t-test and ANOVA. The result of sensory evaluation showed that 'taste' was 3.20, 'freshness' 3.17, 'temperature' 3.25, 'texture' 3.15, 'appearance' 3.12, 'overall evaluation' 3.21, so these were little higher than 「normal」, that is 3.0. There was positive correlation among 'taste', 'freshness', 'temperature', 'texture', 'appearance' and 'overall evaluation'(p<.001). Serving size score was 2.97 and plate waste was 4.87, thus plate waste percentage was about 22-33%. As the result of customer expectation, perception and satisfaction of menu quality, characteristics.

조사대상자의 일반적인 특성과 외식 행동 특성은 빈도(N)와 백분율(%)로 나타내었으며, 조사대 상자의 일반적 특성에 따른 인식에 관한 차이를 알아보기 위해 $x^2$-검정을 실시하여 유의성을 검정하였고, 메뉴 선택행동은 요인분석(Factor analysis)을 실시하였으며, 메뉴 선택 요인과 일반적인 특성과의 차이(t-test & ANOVA)를 검정하였고, 건강지향도과 만족도와의 다중회귀분석(Multiple regression analysis)을 실시하였다. 인구통계적 변인들과 메뉴 선택 행동의 차이는 대체로 연령, 학력, 소득 수준이 높을수록 평균이 높게 나타나 웰빙 메뉴 선택 행동에 높은 관여를 보이는 것으로 조사되었으며, 메뉴 선택 행동이 건강지향성과 만족도에 미치는 영향에 관한 회귀분석결과 식생활 습관성은 건강지향성과 만족도에 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 조사되었다. 따라서 외식기업들은 이러한 집단을 마케팅 목표로 설정하여 그에 맞는 메뉴 개발 및 업체의 컨셉을 정하여 판매 촉진을 개선시키는 것이 바람직하다고 할 수 있다.

This study was conducted to characterize well-being menus and to examine the service frequency and profitability of those served in the contract-managed workplace foodservice. In-depth interviews were conducted with six persons who were in charge of menu management in the headquarters of six different foodservice management companies during March, 2007. In addition, 122 set menus consisting of 777 menu items, which were on one month menus served during January to April, 2007, were collected from three workplace operations managed by three different foodservice management companies. As a result of the in-depth interviews, four categories of well-being menu items were extracted: 'medicinal functional menu item', 'environmentally-friendly menu item', 'natural food menu item', and 'harmful components-limiting menu item'. Accordingly, a well-being menu item was defined as 'a menu item with increased nutrition value or decreased health risk by changing food material or cooking method'. When the menu items (n=777) were analyzed by applying the definition and categories, approximately 14% of the items were identified as well-being menu items and most of them were either medicinal functional (65%) or natural food menu items (33%). Approximately 59% of the 122 set menus included at least one well-being menu item, and therefore they were named the well-being set menus. These well-being set menus, however, were not significantly different from the rest set menus in terms of profitability as measured by the contribution margin. The results of this study could be useful for foodservice management companies to develop and plan well-being menus targeting workplace foodservice operations.

This study was designed to : (a) analyze the menus of the French restaurant in tourism hotel using the menu analysis techniques of Kasavana & Smith and Pavesic, (b) compare the characteristics of the two analysis techniques. The calculations for the menu analysis were done using the MS 2000 Excel spreadsheet program. The menu mix % and unit contribution margin were used as variables by Kasavana & Smith and weighted contribution margins (WCM) and potential food cost % (PFC%) by Pavesic. In two cases, a four-cell matrix was created and menu items were located in each according they achieved high or low scores with respect to two variables. The items that scored favorably on both variables were rated in the top category (e.g., star, prime) and those that scored below average on both were rated in the lowest category (e.g., dog, problem). While Kasavana & Smith's method focused on customer's viewpoints, Pavesic's method considered the manager's viewpoints. Therefore, it is more likely to be desirable for decision-making on menus if the menu analysis techniques chosen is suited to its purpose.

호텔 레스토랑의 경우, 이용하는 목적에 따라 선택하는 업종이나 메뉴에 큰 영향을 받으며 호텔의 특성을 규명하여 그에 맞는 전략을 세우는 것이 필수적인 사항이다. 따라서 본 연구의 목적은 같은 성향을 가지고 있는 고객이라도 방문목적이나 호텔이 가지고 있는 이미지, 그 특성에 따라 선호하는 메뉴가 달라지는 것을 규명하고, 전략적인 메뉴관리의 기초데이터를 제공하는 것이다. 조사방법은 특 1급 호텔의 이태리 레스토랑을 대상으로 하여 고객층, 이용목적 등의 특성을 규명하고, 각 호텔들의 메뉴 매출 자료를 토대로 선호메뉴를 분석하여 그 호텔특성에 따른 선호메뉴를 분석하였다. 그 결과 비즈니스와 식사목적의 방문이 많은 편인 호텔들은 일반 알라카트 메뉴들이 강세를 보였으며, 특히 가족식사인 경우 세트메뉴의 선호도가 높았다. 테마파크 주변의 호텔은 이벤트 메뉴가 활성화 되어 있으며 그 선호도 또한 높은 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구자료는 메뉴선택에 대한 정확한 이해를 바탕으로 고객이 요구하는 메뉴를 제공함으로써 이익 증대를 가져올 뿐만 아니라 고객의 만족에 크게 기여할 수 있는 기초자료로서의 역할을 할 것이다.

This study was designed to identify how customers considered menu selection attributes on menu choice, and so the instrument for measuring that question was developed and menu selection behavior types were analyzed by customers' characteristics. Cronbach's alpha to assess the internal reliability of the developed scales was 0.8361, which indicated to be highly reliable. Construct validity was assessed by principal components factor analysis with a Varimax rotation to identify underlying dimensions of menu selection and then four factors explaining 55.618% of the total variance were found. These factors were labeled as 'quality of meals', 'attractiveness of meals', 'healthfulness of meals' and 'variety of meals', respectively. As a result of analysis on menu selection factors, 'quality of meals'(3.82 out of 5) was the highest consideration followed by 'variety of meals'(3.51), 'healthfulness of meals'(3.49) and 'attractiveness of meals'(3.34), so that menu marketing approaches in the perspective of quality of meals would do lead customers' selection rates, customer satisfaction and then sales highly. Frequent visitor selected menu indifferently but customers who were interested in food and menu highly, who perceived meals' quality highly, and who were satisfied with overall foodservice did with concern. On the basis of these results of study for the target of food court-style B ＆ I foodservice operation, which was introduced as an ideal model in future foodservice market by the concept of 'customer's selection right', the following study related with customers' meal patterns and perception of foodservice by menu selection attributes would be able to predict the chances for success of food court-style foodservice operations.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: With the advances in technologies, self-service kiosks at foodservice operations are becoming a new way of service provision. This study examined the relationships among the menu information quality, nutrition information quality, technology acceptance characteristics, and customer behavioral intention toward the kiosks in fast food restaurants. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A survey with a self-administered method was distributed online and offline. The sample consisted of customers who had used the kiosks at fast food restaurants in the last six months prior to the survey. The study hypotheses were tested by applying structural equation modeling. RESULTS: Structural equation modeling revealed the positive impacts of menu information quality and nutrition information quality, technology acceptance characteristics, and behavioral intention toward kiosks at fast food restaurants. On the other hand, one hypothesis (Hypothesis 4) on the impact of nutrition information quality on the perceived usefulness was rejected. CONCLUSION: The study is the first to investigate nutrition and menu information at foodservice kiosks and relate them to technology acceptance. The study is very timely and adequate in the time of the 4^th industrial revolution. The critical importance of the presentation of nutrition information and menu information at the kiosks at fast food restaurants was verified. The academic and industrial implications of the study findings were discussed.
