Compared with other countries, cooks can be responsible officials in the School Foodservice. Suggestions about cook′s duties in the School Foodservice law are as follows. 1. Not only dietitian but also cook should be subscribed as a responsible official in the School Foodservice law. 2. Not only the duties of dietitian but also those of cook should be subscribed in the School Foodservice law. 3. Cook as a responsible official of School Foodservice should investigate the food as well as dietitian. 4. Dietitian teaches cook and assistant cook how to cook presently by the School Foodservice law, but cook should teach how to cook because cooking is cook′s major and cook gets the national certificate of cooking. 5. Cooks do job under dangerous circumstances, so extra money should be paid to cooks. 6. Even if not being described in the law and education of sanitation is presently done in the cook′s reeducation, dietitian educates sanitation to cook, so it has to be changed. Cook can educate sanitation to other workers in the School Foodservice. 7. The name of office room in the School Foodservice systems "dietitian′s room" should be changed to "Foodservice office room". If those suggestions are accomplished, cooks and dietitians can cooperate effectively and respectfully and the better School Foodservice can be served to students.

School foodservice employees are involved with every aspect of ensuring that high quality meals are prepared and they influence student satisfaction. The objective of this study was to identify whether job satisfaction of cooks is affected by their relationships with management. Survey forms that were developed for foodservice dietitians and employees were interviewed. Questionnaires to measure job satisfaction were distributed to 30 schools in the Gyeonggi province and completed by 30 dietitians and 323 cooks. Foodservice cooks' job satisfaction was evaluated by measuring attitudes towards aspects of their job using the modified Smith method(1969). All items in the scales were coded by 4 Likert scale(1: nerver satisfied, 4: very satisfied), then grouped by using factor analyses. Statistical methods used in this study were a $x^2$-test, t-test with SPSS software(version 12.0). The study results were as follows; 1) The demographic data showed that 65.3% of respondents were in their 40s, 96% were married, 68.8% were high school graduates, and 93.5% were contracted employees. Regarding overall experience in their current workplace, 27.9% had been in their position over 5 years and 25.7% said less than 2 years. 2) Most of the school lunches was served in the classroom(73.3%). The cook working was rotated among the employees(90%). Most employees did not use a day's leave of absence per month because they were averse to burdening their coworkers. 3) There were no significant differences in job satisfaction between the cooks' self-evaluation scores(2.92) and those of the dietitians(2.92). Among the factors influencing job satisfaction, dietitians(2.10) perceived that cooks(1.99) were more satisfied with their salaries than was actually the case. The cooks(3.19) rated their level of work satisfaction higher than the dietitians(3.03) perceived it to be. Employees rated their relationship satisfaction as 3.50, but dietitians on the other hand rated it 3.37. Most of the cook respondents want a higher salary and a some kind of employment guarantee. This study provides foodservice managers information useful for design positions that will increase productivity. Future study is needed to determine the factors that will improve job satisfaction and satisfy the employees' needs, which in turn will improve school food service quality.
