CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
INTRODUCTION
Rationale
Sustainable service innovation is a critical attribute in restaurant management
that is widely recognized by experts and restaurant owners. In this paper, we
investigated ideas on sustainable service innovation in restaurants gathered
from interviews with restaurant managers, and government experts. The
analytical results show that five dimensions are major indicators of sustainable
service innovation in the restaurant management field. These include the
following dimensions: sustainable service innovation, food service technology,
organizational learning, adoption of innovation, and organizational
environment. We also found that these five dimensions are important and that
they deeply impact restaurant performance. We discuss the characteristics of
these five attributes and talk about the theoretical and empirical implications
of research findings. (1:2016)
The vast amount of research into the sustainability of tourism and hospitality in
general, there has been scarcely any academic literature on the sustainability
of food served in restaurants, specifically. There are studies on the
sustainability of food in general, but hardly any on how these foods are used in
restaurants. Legrand et al. (2:2010) put forward seven indicators of a
sustainable restaurant. Cavagnaro discussed several concepts for sustainable
restaurants. Teng, Wu, and Huang present the results of a study into what the
Theory:
Structural Model of the Green Adoption Intentions of Taiwan's restaurant
industry
The results of the model of green adoption show that chain hotels were
stronger adopters of green practices than independent hotels were, likely due
to leveraging economies of scale through uniform corporate practices.
The restaurants of Tagbilaran City adhere to the mandate of the state to provide
sustainability of their restaurants to preserve the life and property of the
customers. However, programs must also be implemented that would help the
restaurant owners to balance their work and personal life and prevent the work
stress and pressure from going with them at home.
Figure 1
Theoretical Framework
Related Literature
Sustainability implementation in restaurants by theorizing and testing a
comprehensive model of antecedents and effects. It represents positive and
negative pressures toward sustainability respectively by entrepreneurs'
attitudes and barriers to sustainability while hypothesizing that customer
satisfaction and competitiveness mediate the effects of these practices on
firm performance. Results show that a sustainability attitude exerts pressure
toward sustainability, while barriers in terms of costs, fear of regulation, or
skepticism about benefits have negative but lower, effects.
Sustainability implementation positively contributes to firm performance, but
only via two intermediate measures of business success: competitiveness and
customer satisfaction. The study fills a gap in the literature by presenting a
whole construct of sustainability, testing two mediating effects not yet
hypothesized, and highlighting in the same model the role of factors enabling
and deterring sustainability (6:2020).
Restaurant sustainability refers to when food businesses minimize their impact
on the planet, specifically by addressing issues like sustainable farming, their
carbon footprint, shortening their supply chain, food wastage, packaging, water
and energy consumption, recycling, and more by sharing your sustainability
strategy with the public, people will feel more compelled to at least try your
restaurant and at most become loyal customers. You may also find yourself

THE PROBLEM
Statement of the Problem
The purpose of this research is to determine the sustainability of the
restaurants located in Tagbilaran City with the end of proposing an
enhancement program.
This study also seeks to answer the following sub-questions:
What is the profile of the respondents in terms of;
A. Restaurant Staff/Owner/Crew B. Customers
a. Age
b. Gender
c. Educational Attainment
2. What are the practices of restaurants to sustain their operation during the
pandemic?
3. Is there a significant degree of difference in the responses of the
respondents about the practices of restaurants to sustain their operations
during the pandemic?
4. What enhancement program could be designed to increase profile to sustain
restaurants operation?
Null Hypothesis
The following null hypothesis was formulated for testing at a 0.05 level of
significance. There is no degree of correlation between the perceptions of the
respondents in the following context.
a. The practices of restaurants to sustain their operation during the pandemic.
b. The sustaining level of the restaurants during the pandemic.
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
The output of the research arrived with numerous advantages and benefits to
the following parties:
Restaurants
The result of the study would provide an enhancement program designed for
their benefit to upgrade their sustainability as well as maintain the relationship
with their customers and staff.
Restaurant Owner
The output of the study would serve as a reference for restaurant owners when
it comes to maintaining the restaurant's sustainability to improve their
establishment.
Customers
The results of the study would give knowledge to customers as to what are the
practices of restaurants especially in maintaining their sustainability to provide
them with quality service.
Future Researchers
This study will help them as a reference to gain ideas and knowledge,
especially for research topics that are related to this.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will be conducted at a restaurant in Tagbilaran City only. The
researchers gathered Twenty (20) customers and Twenty (20)
Staff/Owners/Crews to respond to their study.
The study has limitations brought about by the nature of the study. The primary
limitation of this study was concentration and consistency in the response of
the Customers in answering the questionnaires. It caused anxiety to the
researcher whether it can affect the findings and conclusions which would
represent the groups as a whole. The researcher relies on the respondent's
honesty and sincerity in answering the questions.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
Data Analysis
The data gathered were tabulated, interpreted, and analyzed to establish the
norms of occurrence through the simple percentage of computations. To obtain
the percentages, the frequency of responses to each item was divided by the
total number of cases and then multiplied by one hundred, thus: Percent=f/n X
100, where = frequency and n-number of cases. The data on the demographic
profile was obtained using the mean as a basis for the profile table: M-x/n;
where x is the summation of all data and n is the number of respondents.
The following weights were assigned to the scales with their corresponding
equivalents.
Weight Scale Range
4 Very Satisfied (3.26-4.00)
3 Satisfied (2.51-3.25)
2 Dissatisfied (1.76-2.50)
1 Very Dissatisfied (1.00-1.75)
Statistical Treatment
To determine the correlation between the responses of the customer
respondents on the Restaurant sustainability practices in Tagbilaran City, the
data were subjected to a statistical formula using the Pearson correlation of
Contingency, with the following
Formula:
R = correlation coefficient
x{i}= values of the x-variable in a sample
bar{x}= mean of the values of the x-variable
y{i}= values of the y-variable in a sample
bar{y}= mean of the values of the y-variable

The tables above show various results in terms of the demographic profile of
the respondents in terms of age, gender, and educational attainment, which
clearly shows that there are different gathered responses from various
persons. The results gleaned that in line with the age aspect, the majority of
the respondents were (40%) clients' whose age had a place with 25 years of age
and beneath, four (20%) for 26-30 years of age, three (15%) for 31-35 years of
age, five (25%) for 36-40 years of age and zero (0%) for a long time old or more.
This suggests that the majority of customers were under 25 years old. There
were zero (0%) owners whose age belonged to 25 years old & below, zero (0%)
for 26-30 years old, zero (0%) for 31-35 years old, five (50%) for 36-40 years old
and five (50%) for 41 years old and above. It implies that the majority of the
owners belonged to 36-40 years old and 41 years old above. Ten employees (50
percent) were under the age of 25, seven (35 percent) were between the ages of
26 and 30, two (10 percent) were between the ages of 31 and 35, one (5
percent) was between the ages of 36 and 40, and zero (0 percent) was over the
age of 41. It suggests that the majority of employees were under 25 years old.
Regarding the gender aspect of the respondents, the totality of the
respondents was female which has the highest percentage and frequency
score of 15 or 75%. The results gleaned those female owners had a frequency
of six and male owners had a frequency of four (40 percent). The majority of
owners were women. According to the revealed results, male employees had a
frequency of eight (40 percent) and female employees had a frequency of
twelve (60 percent). The majority of employees were women.
The respondent's educational attainment clearly shows that the totality of the
respondents finished High School years. There were least of the respondents
who take a degree holder. The frequency of elementary school graduates was
one percent, the frequency of high school graduates was fourteen percent, the
frequency of bachelor's degree holders was five percent, the frequency of
master's degree holders was zero percent, and the frequency of doctoral
degree holders was zero percent. The majority of customers had completed
high school. Rudimentary Alumni had a recurrence of nothing (0%), Secondary
School Graduates had a recurrence of nothing (0%), Single men's Certificate
Holders had a recurrence of nine (90%), Bosses' Certification has a recurrence
of one (10%) and Doctoral Certificate Holder had a recurrence of nothing (0%).
The majority of owners held bachelor's degrees. There were two elementary
school graduates (ten percent), eighteen high school graduates (90 percent),
zero bachelor's degree holders (zero percent), zero master's degree holders
(zero percent), and zero doctoral degree holders (zero percent). The greater part
of the staff was Secondary School Graduates.

The result gleaned that the highest weighted mean score of 3.65 stated that in
terms of managing the health employee of the customers that inform fellow
employees of their possible exposure to COVID-19 in the workplace is the best
way to sustain the restaurant and provide a better and safe workplace to every
manpower. Lastly, the lowest mean score of 3.25 shows that informing
employees about the status of physical health of every employee is the least
way to sustain a restaurant. The overall mean score shows that the majority of
the customer respondents are very satisfied with how well the establishment
sustains the business restaurant in tack even if there's this threat of a
pandemic. According to the article stated in (7:2022) that sustainability is
prominent in the media these days, but some people are unaware of the facts
and how to make a real change. Your sustainable practices can act as a positive
and inspiring example for those who are unsure of where to start and why it's
an important issue. Even something as simple as including facts on the menu is
enough to get people. One sustainable strategy involves shortening your supply
chain to reduce your carbon footprint.

The highest mean score of rank 1 or 3.90 tells that in terms of personal hygiene,
covering the nose when sneezing is the best way to sustain physical contact
with others and avoid any negative taught about COVID-19, being careful in
every action can be a way to sustain the restaurant. This means that the
majority of the customers' respondents are very satisfied with the personal
hygiene provided by the establishments, and employees. The overall mean
score gleaned that the majority of the respondents were about sustaining
employees' and customers' attitudes about personal hygiene to have an extra
shield against Covid-19. Experts and proprietors of restaurants agree that
sustainable service innovation is an essential quality in restaurant
management. We interviewed restaurant managers and government experts to
gather ideas for sustainable service innovation in restaurants for this paper. In
the restaurant management field, the analytical results demonstrate that five
dimensions are significant indicators of sustainable service innovation. The
following are examples of these dimensions: sustainable service innovation,
food service technology, learning within an organization, innovation adoption,
and the organizational setting Additionally, we discovered that these five
dimensions are significant and have a significant impact on restaurant
performance. We discuss the theoretical and empirical repercussions of
research findings as well as the characteristics of these five attributes.

assisting, cleaning, separating, and chilling. According to the article, (9: 2012)
that as a fast solution to the client's changing inclinations because of the
expanded apparent danger, eatery proprietors/supervisors could zero in on
offering their feasting experience in confidential eating tables or rooms, cost
reasonableness, and ideal mood to acquire an upper hand. Customers'
