Journal Title: Acta Scientiarum Polonorum. Oeconomia - Year 2016, Vol 15, Issue 2
Abstract
The objective of the study was to learn the opinions of representatives of gastronomy businesses regarding product innovativeness of the sector, with a focus on healthy solutions. The qualitative study of this issue was conducted with in-depth interviews with owners and managers of food service establishments. It was found, that actions (related to products and production technology) increasing the positive impact of menu on customers’ health are taken, however to a limited degree. It was also recorded, that kitchen staff and waiters alike have little interest in introducing or promoting innovations. The conducted studies reveal a great potential of the gastronomy market in promoting healthy products, however in order to realize it, employees must be educated.
