The restaurant franchise industry is one that could benefit significantly from the use of intranet technology, from its potential for improving communications between franchisors and franchisees, to providing easier inventory and ordering processes. However, there is a level of trepidation among potential users about whether the technology would improve their work performance. This study sought to examine the relationships between perceived uncertainty and perceived usefulness of intranet technology in the restaurant franchise industry. Through a review of available literature, 10 sub-dimensions of perceived uncertainty (Duncan, 1972) and six sub-dimensions of perceived usefulness (Davis, 1989) were derived. Canonical correlation analysis was used to examine the relationships between these concepts using data collected from 163 franchising restaurant managers in South Korea. Findings from the data analysis demonstrates two negative factors and one positive factor in perceived uncertainty that influence perceived usefulness, thus offering some implications of what to consider when implementing an intranet system in a restaurant franchise.

포화된 미국의 외식시장과는 대조적으로 한국의 외식시장은 도입기에서 성장기로의 전환을 맞이하고 있다. 이러한 변화속에서 미국의 외식브랜드들은 한국에 진출하여 다양한 변화와 모험을 겪으면서 다수는 성공적인 전략을 통하여 국내에 입지를 굳혔으며 그렇지 않은 기업들도 있었다. 이러한 현상들은 Porter의 경쟁 전략을 통하여 설명되어질 수 있다. 이는 초창기 미국 브랜드의 국내시장 진출전략이 어떠한 배경으로 수행되었는지를 이해할 수 있으며 또한 최근에 국내에서 빠른 성장세를 보이고 있는 전문 커피숍 시장의 변화에서도 설명되어질 수 있다. 그러나 초기 패밀리레스토랑의 도입배경과 전문 커피숍의 경우는 커피 시장의 세분화정도, 비즈니스 파트너 선택의 기준, 커피 상품과 일반음식과의 소비자들의 다른 인식 등의 몇 가지 다른 점이 있다는 것을 간과해서는 안될 것이다.

A food coordinator and a food stylist have become one of the prospective jobs in the food industry. Nonetheless, they have not been definitely classified, even regarded as the same meaning. This study was conducted to investigate the different characteristics and job requirements between food coordinators and food stylists by examining the curricula for food coordinators and food stylists of related departments in 13 colleges. According to the result of this study, the definitions of them in the job category have not been clearly distinguished. It was also showed that the job domain of food coordinators was broader than that of food stylists. Therefore, education curricula related to this field need to be reviewed to cultivate the human resources who fit the job requirements for food coordinators and food stylists respectively.

Despite the importance of the management of food and beverage, most managers in hotel and restaurant have taken little interests in the menu planning and management processing. Recently, people are more interested in what they eat and drink and thus related industries are in harsh competition. These are resulted from the newly introduced 5-work-day system and growing concerns of people on the quality of life. From these concern, the menu composition must be the critical matter. I examine the significance of the menu composition by regression analysis on two factors, i.e. satisfaction level of employees and effectiveness of work. The outcome proved the positive effect of menu composition on them. Therefore, more studies on menu composition are required.

This study examined the quality characteristics of Jeung-pyeon made with wet non-glutinous rice flour and rice wine. The samples of Jeung-pyeon were prepared with different ratios of cooked purple sweet potato (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12%) to analyze the water content, sugar content, pH, chromaticity, texture characteristics, and sensory evaluation. No significant difference in water content, sugar content, and springiness was observed among the 5 samples. The pH and volume showed the highest level at 0%. The L-value and b-value decreased while the a-value increased. The hardness, chewiness, and gumminess were highest at 9% and lowest at 12%. The extent of violet chromaticity and pore size were optimal in 9%. In addition, 9%-added purple sweet potato showed the highest score of odor, taste, texture, and overall acceptability. In conclusion, the optimal addition for the highest acceptability of cooked purple sweet potato was 9%.

Sulgidduk samples containing control, 0.5, 1, 1.5 and 2% black ginseng extracts and a control were examined for moisture content, color, textural characteristics, and sensory qualities to determine the optimal ratio of black ginseng extracts in the formulation. The moisture content of sulgidduk added with black ginseng extracts was 37~40%. Additionally, the lightness decreased and the redness and the yellowness increased as the black ginseng extracts content increased. Hardness, springiness, gumminess and chewiness increase with the addition of black ginseng extracts. however, adhesiveness did not differ significantly among the groups. Sulgidduk containing 1% black ginseng extracts received the highest scores for color, flavor, texture and overall preference. Based on the above results of sensory and texture analyses, sulgidduk containing 1% black ginseng extracts had the highest quality for commercialization.

This study verifies that green rice, which has limited usage as a component of foodstuff, can be used as a fundamental ingredient in the production of food, due to its in mechanical characteristics. Analysis of 100% green rice Garaedduk showed it had lower values for hardness, cohesiveness, springiness, and chewiness, and higher values for adhesiveness compared with rice Garaedduk. Sensory characteristics of the Garaedduk made with green rice (100%) were evaluated as the best for color, flavor, taste & moisture, and the Garaedduk made with brown rice had the most coarseness. The best overall acceptability was for Garaedduk made with green rice (50%) followed in order by Garaedduk made by brown rice and Garaedduk made with rice flour.

As the lifestyle of people today is evolving, the desire for convenient but nutritious food to replace home-cooked meals is increasing. As the market for Home Meal Replacement (HMR) has already reached 17 hundred billion Won, many studies on HMR selection attributes have been conducted, using traditional Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). However, it was found that traditional IPA had some limitations. Therefore, the study used both traditional and the Revised IPA to examine the selection attributes of HMR sold at large discount store to compare outcomes. The results of the study show that by using the Revised IPA, many attributes differed from those found by the traditional IPA. Consequently, the study revealed aspects that have both linear and nonlinear relationships with customer satisfaction. Implications of this study could provide the foundation of business strategies for HMR manufacturers.

The current study investigated the relative effects of viewing motivations on viewing preferences and viewing intentions of television food programs. Data collection was conducted by administering a survey to television food program viewers both on and offline. Viewing motivations were categorized as 'information' 'entertainment', 'pass-time', 'companionship', 'relaxation', and 'social interaction'. 'Information' and 'entertainment' proved to be the most important motivational factors affecting viewing preferences for television food programs. 'Information' and 'social interactions' were the strongest predictors of viewing intentions of television food programs. However, 'pass-time' had a negative influence on both viewing preferences and viewing intentions of television food programs. Furthermore, the results of study verified the moderating effects of food involvement in these relations.
