Abstract

Purpose: This study investigated customers' perception of a hygiene grade certification system for restaurants and this study also determined way to promote the application of the hygiene grade certification. Methods: A total of 315 customer responses were used for the data analysis. Statistical analyses were conducted using the SPSS program (ver. 23.0) for frequency analysis, χ2-tests, t-tests, analysis of variance, and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Results: The composition of the respondents was 43.8% males and 56.2% females. The 73.3% lived with their families while 26.7% lived alone. Among those surveyed, 84.5% dine out at least once a week and 66.8% dine out during weekends evening. In addition, the most preferred types of restaurants were Korean restaurants (37.5%), delivery restaurants (14.6%), and Western restaurants (8.9%). Information about restaurant was most frequently obtained through Internet searches (54.0%). The average expenditure of eating-out per person was 15,483 Korean won, and the overall satisfaction averaged 3.58 out of 5 points. According to the results of IPA, the restaurant selection attributes that were priorities for improvement were the foods' taste and restroom cleanliness. In addition, 30.5% of respondents recognized the hygiene grade certification system for restaurants. The intention of dining at restaurants with a hygiene grade certification in the future was on average 4.02 out of 5 points. A total of 56.8% of respondents were willing to pay more for a restaurant with a hygiene grade certification. The average percentage of additional price was 6.02%. Conclusion: In order to apply and quickly disseminate the hygiene grade certification system all over the Korea, the study results suggest that relevant policy should be provided by the Korean government for certified restaurants along with the relevant education and promotion of the system to customers.

본 연구에서는 음식점 위생등급제의 인식도를 조사하여 위생등급제 활성화 방안을 마련하고자 성인남녀 총 315명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 성별은 남자가 43.8%, 여자가 56.2%였고, 가족과 동거하는 경우가 73.3%, 1인 가구가 26.7%였다. 조사대상자중 주 1회 이상 외식하는 경우는 전체의 84.5%였으며, 외식 시간대는 '주말저녁' (66.8%)이 가장 많았다. 또한 가장 선호하는 외식업소 유형은 '한식당' (37.5%), '배달음식점' (14.6%), '양식당' (8.9%) 순이었고, '인터넷 검색' (54.0%)을 통해 외식업소 정보를 얻는 경우가 가장 많았다. 그리고 1인 1회 평균 외식비용은 15,483원이었고, 외식에 대한 전체적인 만족도는 평균 3.58점/5점이었다. 음식점 선택속성에 대한 중요도-만족도 분석 결과 우선적으로 개선이 필요한 항목은 '음식의 적정 가격'과 '화장실의 청결'이었다. 또한 음식점 위생등급제를 알고 있는 경우는 전체의 30.5%였고, 향후 위생등급제 인증 음식점 이용 의향은 5점 척도로 평가한 결과 평균 4.02점이었으며, 인증업체 음식에 대한 추가 지불 의향이 있는 경우는 전체의 56.8%였고, 추가로 지불하겠다는 가격은 음식가격의 6.02%였다. 따라서 음식점 위생등급제의 빠른 정착을 위해서는 고객 대상 교육·홍보, 업체 전 직원의 개선 노력과 함께 인증업체에 대한 정부기관의 정책적 지원이 필요하다고 생각된다.
