This purpose of the research presented in this article is to comparing different service quality measurements between Kano and TRIZ that plays the critical roles in the catering industrial. Data collected from a DINESERV questionnaire comprises service-quality standards to increase customer satisfaction of mobile dining car. Finally, the TRIZ is standardized measure designed to improve the idealization of strategy for selecting the most appropriate service quality model. In addition, the preferences of more than one decision maker are internally aggregated into the TOPSIS procedure. The findings of this study provide several important theoretical and practical implications for developing a successful mobile catering app. The results have demonstrated our approach to be both robust and efficient.

“…Currently, much of the research in food and beverage related fields focuses on the nutritional aspect of products (Cornil et al 2020 ; Stuckler and Nestle 2012 ; Tempels et al 2017 ; Botterill 2017 ; Gostin 2016 ) with access playing a role in consumption and subsequent nutritional outcomes affecting the health of the individual. Current research, therefore, is focused on global health as, in the U.S., there is an increase in obesity and associated health issues (Chen and Wang 2021 ; Persoskie et al 2017 ) and health costs are increasing in part due to decisions surrounding food consumption.…”

Despite worldwide attention given to food access, very little progress has been made under the current model. Recognizing that individual engagement is likely based on individual experiences and perceptions, this research study investigated whether or not a correlation exists between one’s socioeconomic status (SES) and perceived personal responsibility for food access. Discussion of results and implications provide fresh insight into the ongoing global debate surrounding food access. Outcomes also provide insight into willing and able participants and point to least-cost solutions which may be better suited to implement and initiate change. Results indicate that the issue of food access is more complex than simply lobbying for better decision-making among individuals and populations, highlighting the importance of unit of analysis considerations.

Food and Beverage Options at Highway Rest Areas in North Carolina: A Mixed-Methods Audit and Geospatial Approach

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

IntroductionEach year, millions of people purchase food at highway rest areas. Rest areas are potential sites for health promotion because they are operated by the public sector; they are frequently visited by professional truck drivers, who have a disproportionate burden of chronic disease; and they are easily accessible. To our knowledge, no research has systematically examined the healthfulness of food offerings at rest areas. The objective of this study was to determine the accessibility and healthfulness of food and beverages offered at highway rest areas in North Carolina using a mixed-methods audit and geospatial approach.MethodsWe conducted a cross-sectional audit of all rest areas offering foods and beverages in North Carolina (N = 30) in summer 2018. We used the Nutrition Environment Measures Survey–Vending (NEMS–V) to record the 1) type, price, and size of all foods and beverages and 2) healthfulness of items offered (based on NEMS–V categorization). Two researchers independently double coded NEMS–V data. We used geospatial analysis to examine proximity of rest areas to food stores. We analyzed data by using univariate and bivariate analysis.ResultsThe mean number of vending machines per site was 8.0 (range, 2–12, standard deviation, 2.8). The healthfulness of offerings varied across sites. Most food items (88.1%; 2,922 of 3,315) and beverage items (63.7%; 1,567 of 2,459) were classified as least healthful. Cold beverage machines had a greater percentage of healthful items (38.2%; 778 of 2,036) than snack machines (11.4%; 374 of 3,270) (P < .001), mainly because of water and diet soda in beverage machines.ConclusionPolicy changes are needed to increase the number and presentation of healthful food options at highway rest areas. Policy changes could provide travelers with more healthful options conveniently located along their travel route.
