The purposes of this study was to identify the level of satisfaction with the food quality in a company cafeteria located in Daejon. 400 people were given questionnaires, of which 341 questionnaires were returned for analysis (90.25% response rate). Our results show, 85.63% of customers eat at the cafeteria more than 3~4 times per week. 48.68% of people surveyed chose their meal based on the proximity when they enter the cafeteria. 39.59% said the most important factor for eating at the cafeteria was taste. 33.72% said it was quality. The type of food that was leftover the most was ‘Guk’ (soup). 52.20% said ‘Guk’ was leftover due to the awful taste. Food quality (34.60%) and taste (34.02%) required the most improvement according to those surveyed. Additionally, we divided food quality into 3 factors: ‘sanitation & service’, ‘food’, and ‘menu composition’. People who marked down ‘no other place to eat’ was the reason they ate at the cafeteria also had the lowest satisfaction scores across all items (p<0.001). Improving the ‘Guk’ and ‘meat’ was rated as the most important criteria to improve satisfaction with leftover food. Unsurprisingly, the ‘taste’ of leftover food had the lowest satisfaction scores. Those who had the lowest quality satisfaction scores also wanted to improve ‘taste’, ‘quality’ and ‘sanitation’ the most (p<0.001). Based on these findings, the foodservice manager can increase the overall satisfaction with the cafeteria food by focusing on improving the taste, quality and sanitation of the food that it serves.
