| Abstract: | Abstract Restaurant managers and other foodservice operators are increasingly approaching researchers and land grant institutions to seek solutions for some of their problems. The capacity of research institutions to solve the problems of foodservice operators is limited by a lack of understanding of the issues and a lack of societal incentives to address such issues. This study reports the results of a university's efforts to better understand the problems facing the foodservice industry. As part of the study, the researchers conducted a focus group of industry leaders. The researchers end with an overview of problems facing the foodservice industry. |
