DEVELOPMENT OF HACCP FOOD SAFETY PROCEDURES
WITH THE DESIGN THINKING METHOD
Introduction
Microbiological contamination of food processing occurs due to the presence of
harmful physical, chemical, or biological agents on food contact surfaces and equipment
that can cause food-borne illnesses and outbreaks (Bukhari et al., 2021). Foodborne
illness is a public health issue of concern in the US (United States) caused by food
contamination with foodborne pathogens during preparation and storage especially in
restaurants (Hoover et al., 2023).
Improper restaurant management can cause food safety hazards by not washing
hands before serving food which can lead to the transfer of bacteria, viruses, or other
contaminants from hands to food, this can harbor dirt, germs, or foreign objects that can
enter the food, which can affect the taste, appearance, or safety of the food (Widjajanti
& Rahmawati, 2021); (Ubud & Ubud, 2016). Non-compliance is a common problem in
restaurants and can reduce food safety and endanger consumers, non-compliance was
detected in two-thirds of restaurants in the first routine inspection, and only 34.1% of
those that received an inspection (Kaskela, Sund, & Lundén, 2021).
Food servers play a key role in maintaining food safety and preventing
foodborne illness as food safety is a serious public health issue (Rifat, Talukdar,
Lamichhane, Atarodi, & Alam, 2022). Prevention and control of foodborne illness by
identifying and correcting risk factors for foodborne illness in restaurants and other food
services, some of the risk factors include food from unsafe sources, improper storage
temperatures, improper cooking temperatures, cross-contamination, and poor employee
hygiene (Firestone et al., 2020).
Larger restaurants tend to face greater challenges in maintaining food safety
standards due to the scale of their operations (Tian, 2017). This often results in a higher
risk of foodborne illness, as managing quality control across a larger inventory and staff
can be complicated, risks are often more pronounced in areas with lower levels of
economic development. This can be attributed to several factors, including limited
access to resources for proper food handling, storage and preparation practices, as well
as the lack of a strict regulatory framework (Sha et al., 2020).
Meat cutting tools and chopping boards were identified as the most
contaminated surfaces, Klebsiella spp. and E. Coli were the most frequently detected
contaminants on various food contact surfaces, there were marked differences in
sanitation levels among restaurants in different districts, highlighting the need for better
hygiene practices. Restaurants that showed a higher frequency of contamination-related
violations, such as inadequate food separation and non-sterile surfaces, hinted at an
increased spread of pathogens through cross-contamination.
Notably, 63.1% of surveyed restaurants exhibited at least one behavior that
could potentially lead to food contamination. The primary offense involved contact of
bare or unclean gloves with ready-to-eat food, recorded in 35.9% of establishments. The
increased risk of contamination correlates with the absence of food safety education,
certification mandates, and policies for hand hygiene. Average, independent restaurants
recorded more possible acts of contamination compared to their chain counterparts
(Hoover et al., 2023).
Practices that need to be implemented for food safety are training and educating
food handlers, implementing food safety programs such as Hazard Analysis and Critical
Control Points (HACCP) to identify and control potential hazards in food production
and preparation, and evaluating the quality and safety of food products, improving
physical facilities, water supply, and waste management of food establishments to
ensure a clean and sanitary environment for food handling and storage (Abughoush et
al., 2023).
Customers speak through reviews about their impressions of using the product
on social media, indicating whether their interactions with the product they purchased
were positive or negative. Furthermore, when other people want to buy similar items,
these seemingly simple reviews will help them get the information they need.
New customers will not make a purchase if these reviews are bad. This is in line
with Google's idea of Zero Moment of Truth, but the next important step is that after
checking out the food features on the online food ordering app, customers start reading
other customers' reviews and comparing restaurant ratings and dish reviews drawn from
data and insights contributed by people who have experienced the reality of the
restaurant or dish. Customer decisions are often influenced by the opinions of others on
social media and online platforms (Marot, Fernandez, Carrick, & Hsi, 2017).
A meeting (moment of truth) where customers interact with businesses and
service providers provides the greatest impression of a service from the customer's
perspective (Lovelock & Wirtz, 2011). Moment of truth (MOT) in restaurant service is
related to food safety because it is a critical moment that occurs between the customer
and the business that affects the customer's perception and understanding of food safety
(Goni, 2023). MOTs have the potential to negatively impact a customer's decision to
return or not to visit the restaurant in question, as well as their reputation and level of
satisfaction.
Some of the MOT applications related to Food Safety include providing good
equipment and supplies. Employees must ensure that the utensils and equipment used,
such as spoons, forks, knives, and napkins, are good and meet customer needs.
Furthermore, ensuring employee training and food safety certificates. Restaurant owners
must ensure that all staff members in the restaurant have been trained on food safety and
have food safety certificates.
This affects the customer's food health experience as staff members who are not
trained or certified may cause food contamination. Food safety implementation by
ensuring food health surveillance (Villamiel & Méndez-Albiñana, 2022). Employees
must ensure that food health surveillance in restaurants is carried out regularly and
effectively. This impacts the health of customers' food as inconsistent or ineffective
supervision can lead to food contamination (Fajarianto, Iqbal, & Cahya, 2017).
Previous research by Purwanto (2024) the results obtained from analyzing fish
handling activities at PPS Nizam Zachman Jakarta with the design thinking method are
as follows: 1) The fish handling process at the time of unloading the fish is still done
manually and has not paid attention to the hygiene and quality of the fish; 2) The
number of fishing vessels based at PPS Nizam Zachman that have CPIB certificates is
still small, which is less than 29% of the vessels based at PPS Nizam Zachman Jakarta,
while in the 2019-2022 period 130 CPIB certificates were issued;
MOT management in restaurant services related to food safety, employees must
understand the concept of MOT and how to create positive and satisfying interactions.
By optimizing each element that defines the customer experience, employees can build
a positive image, drive tourism growth, and still meet customer satisfaction. The
importance of MOT in the context of service excellence, emphasizes the role of public
relations in formulating MOT to dispel negative assumptions about service and create
positive service expectations. MOT implementation in both government and private
institutions to build trust and instill confidence in the services offered, which ultimately
contributes to the establishment of a positive reputation among the public.
This research aims to formulate innovative measures in improving food safety
through critical analysis and creative solutions based on design thinking. The main
benefit of this research is to create more adaptive and effective HACCP procedures, so
as to minimize the risk of food contamination and improve the quality of food products.
Utilizing the Design Thinking method, the research sought to identify key challenges in
HACCP implementation, develop solutions centered on user needs, and test and refine
the resulting procedures through iteration and direct feedback from stakeholders. The
results of the research are expected to contribute significantly to better and sustainable
food safety practices in the food industry.
Research Methods
This research uses a method with a Design Thinking approach. The research
stages include data collection in the form of observations and interviews, researchers are
guided by industry standards in the form of HACCP (Hazard Analysis Critical Control
Points). The research site is located at Resto XYZ located in Ceger, East Jakarta. The
research lasted for 3 weeks with research sources, namely managers and staff
employees of Resto XYZ.
The research begins with Problem Identification which is carried out by
observation, and analysis of activities by XYZ restaurant and looking for violations in
terms of hygiene and sanitation that violate research guidelines and Food Safety. Data
collection using observation and interviews, the results of the study will be presented
descriptively and produce new SOP (Standard Procedure) guidelines as a contribution
of researchers to the object of research that complies with regulatory guidelines in the
form of HACCP. The operational framework of the research is as follows:
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.

likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the

that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.

such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the

Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.

enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong

hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential

expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.

but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice

Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the

consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).

restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).

lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.

training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.

protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).

Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety

2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.

as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.

insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
Results and Discussion Emphatize
At this stage, Emphatize search is carried out by conducting observations and
interviews with internal customers (employees) and external restaurants and knowing
what they really want and what is the basis for complaints that occur regarding Food
Safety and MOT in customer service.
Define
At this stage, all the information obtained from the emphasizing stage collected,
analyzed, and synthesized to find the main problem. Because the problem has been
determined, this definition stage will be very helpful in solving existing problems.
Based on the information obtained as a search for problems in Emphatize, it is found
that XYZ restaurant customers are customers who are aware of the importance of food
safety, indicated by their decreased trust in XYZ restaurant services based on
expectations in the form of testimonials and promotions before visiting XYZ restaurants
based on their visiting experience.
Food Safety is not given more attention by the XYZ restaurant due to the lack of
employee awareness in the operational procedures in the restaurant. Then the manager's
lack of assertiveness binds employees to continue this habit. The further implications of
this habit make customers experience MOTs that have a bad impression so that their
trust in XYZ Restaurant decreases.
Ideate
Most food establishments do not implement critical food safety programs such
as HACCP (Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points), resulting in generally low
levels of food safety knowledge among workers. Research shows that conducting and
providing training for employees can improve food safety protocols and minimize the
incidence of foodborne illness (Abughoush et al. 2023).
An important component of any HACCP plan is hand hygiene practices in food
service. These practices are critical to preventing contamination of food products and
ensuring consumer safety. Proper hand washing procedures, use of appropriate
sanitizing materials, and adherence to strict hand hygiene policies are critical to
maintaining high food safety standards and protecting public health (Manuel et al.
2023). Analyzing restaurant inspection data is critical to understanding and reducing the
incidence of foodborne illness. It has been observed that persistent non-compliance with
food safety measures, especially those guarding against contamination, can increase the
likelihood of disease outbreaks. Such oversight is in line with the Hazard Analysis
Critical Control Point (HACCP) system's focus on determining and managing potential
hazards of food production (Firestone et al., 2017).
al. 2020).
Establishing a comprehensive measure to assess the culture of food safety in a
restaurant environment is essential. This requires a comprehensive effort from various
elements, including the availability of resources, the dedication of employees, and the
extent of management leadership and commitment to upholding food safety standards.
These factors collectively contribute to shaping the overall food safety culture, which is
critical to ensuring public health and maintaining consumer confidence (Kramer et al.
2023).
Prototype
The prototype we developed was designed by incorporating all the safety
measures outlined in the HACCP protocol. This comprehensive approach ensures that
every aspect of food handling and preparation is safeguarded from the risk of
contamination, thus upholding the highest food safety standards and preventing any
breaches that could jeopardize consumer health.
The prototype design incorporates important features that mandate employee
involvement to regularly monitor and maintain a consistent inspection frequency. This
systematic approach ensures that any potential situations that could result in food safety
violations are immediately identified and addressed, thus upholding the highest food
safety standards.
The implementation of Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Points (HACCP) is
indeed a significant step towards ensuring food safety in restaurants and catering
services. This systematic prevention approach is designed to identify, evaluate and
control food safety hazards. By focusing on the critical points where contamination is
most likely to occur. Strict implementation of HACCP protocols, including regular
microbiological assessments, not only improves hygiene and sanitation levels but also
enhances the overall quality of food contact surfaces. Consequently, it provides a strong
framework for catering establishments to consistently produce safe food and gain
consumer confidence (Bukhari et al. 2021).
Testing
Testing the prototype, which was conducted by restaurant employees, initially
encountered several problems. Among these was the difficulty employees had in
adapting to the new tool due to a lack of training, especially regarding food safety
protocols. This problem extended to supervisors as well. Our prototype food safety
protocol mandates a recurring frequency of reporting. However, it has been observed
that there are still shortcomings in this area among some employees, these shortcomings
are mainly due to a lack of responsibility, which needs to be progressively reinforced
over time to ensure protocol compliance and frequency.
Within the short duration of testing the food safety prototype, it became clear
that employees had the ability to identify the actions required to prevent food safety
violations. This stems from the prototype's comprehensive guidance on the necessary
procedures. While the prototype still lacks in some aspects, especially in the consistency
of checks by employees, these issues can be addressed through continuous education,
training and monitoring on food safety protocols. Ensuring that employees are well-
informed and consistently adhere to these protocols is critical to maintaining high
quality and safety standards in food production.
Conclusion
The research presented in this paper underscores the importance of food safety
practices in the restaurant industry. It highlights the need for rigorous training and
education of food handlers, implementation of comprehensive food safety programs
such as HACCP, and consistent enforcement of hygiene and sanitation standards. The
findings show that such measures are critical not only for the protection of public health
but also for maintaining consumer confidence and company reputation. Ultimately, the
study advocates for collective efforts from all stakeholders to foster a food safety
culture that ensures the well-being of customers and the success of the foodservice
sector.
Future research could investigate the effectiveness of comprehensive food safety
training programs, such as HACCP, in different restaurants. Future research could
assess the impact of such programs in reducing incidents of foodborne illness,
increasing staff compliance with safety procedures, and improving overall customer
satisfaction with food hygiene and safety. In addition, exploring the role of customer
feedback through social media on restaurant food safety practices can provide valuable
insights into public perception and its influence on industry standards. This research can
contribute to developing a more robust food safety management system that is
responsive to industry needs and consumer expectations.
