and hygiene’, ‘Cool and airy space’, and ‘Good and polite service style’
‘Reasonable price’, ‘Hygienic food’, and ‘Delicious and appetizing dishes’ are top three
things for an ideal snacking restaurant.
In general, if comparing with an ideal snacking restaurant, a super hygienic one can satisfy 3
criterias over top 5 ones. However, the price level at this type is rather expensive which cannot
pass ‘reasonable price’.
From this survey, owners of super hygienic snacking restaurants should focus and balance three
factors: delicious food, hygiene and reasonable price.
