The paper presents an analysis of the different factors influencing the restaurant industry and how these factors increase or decrease the demand for such services. The hypothesis that will be examined is that the performance of restaurants is mostly based on the type of food chosen by customers when they decide to go out for dinner, lunch, breakfast, or simply for a snack. What type of food refers mainly the nationality or concept of the food, (traditional American, Italian, Indian, Latin, or from any other type of culture).

The study conducts research on the significance of food safety checks and hazard control in industrial restaurants compared to the lack of food safety in the street food market. The issue of food safety is of global importance due to the increasing number of food borne illnesses, that are proved to damage one’s health or can also be fatal. Established hotels with industrial restaurants and professional restaurants, usually have a food safety certificate to show that they are approved by the ISO and HAACP standards. On the other hand, this project focuses on the adverse side pertaining to the street food market. These independent and self-sufficient vendors usually do not have any license or government permit, which means that they are not obliged by any food safety rule. Many studies have been conducted on the ill effects of street food by looking at the cases of the consumers that have fallen sick due to the stale or contaminated ingredients in their food.
From analysis above, both quantities and qualitative research have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore our decision is use both of them in order to improve the quality of our information.
