Title: | The influence of the structure of employees on sensory quality of restaurants food | Authors: | Tešanović Dragan Krasavčić M. Kalenjuk Bojana Portić Milijanko Gagić Snježana |
Issue Date: | 2014 | Journal: | British Food Journal | Abstract: | Purpose: The aim of this paper is to determine the sensory quality of food in restaurants by professional food evaluators and to research the impact of education, age and number of employees on the quality of food. Design/methodology/approach: In the first phase five trained food tasters evaluated the sensory quality of food. In the second phase, the analysis of the structure of employees was done by establishing their level of education, age and number of employees. In the third phase the regression and correlation analysis was done with the aim to establish the impact of the level of education, age and number of employees on the sensory quality of food. Findings: The sensory evaluation has shown that the evaluated food is of moderate quality. Correlation matrix has shown that the education level of employees has a high impact on the sensory quality of food. There is a correlation between the number of employees, their age and their education. Practical implications: Obtained results are the indicators of the quality of food in restaurants in the region and they can serve for the improvement of quality. They have shown that education and staff training can contribute to a better quality of food. Established methodology can also contribute to the practical evaluation of quality. Originality/value: This paper is reflected on the specific application of methodology of the sensory analysis of food in restaurants. The paper pointed to the impact of employees on the sensory quality of food by statistical methods. Statistical results which point to the great impact of the level of education of employees on the sensory quality of food in restaurants are particularly valuable. © Emerald Group Publishing Limited. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/28525 | ISSN: | 0007-070X | DOI: | 10.1108/BFJ-05-2012-0112 |
