Background of the Study

Cafés and restaurants harken back to the original purpose of food

establishments — to act as places for lively debate and intellectual discussion

and, above all else, social interaction. They were initially a “third place” after

home and work, where people could talk and spend time with friends

(Kibbitznest et. al., 2017). There is obviously a very evident rise of food

establishments not only in the Philippines but also in other countries. The

reason for this could be the rising population of the Philippines in the recent

years. For the year 2020 and 2021, revenues are seen to reach ₽637.3 billion

and ₽656.5 billion, respectively (Masigan et. al., 2019). Considering the

amount of revenue that the food industry is pulling in, there is no surprise,

then, that most people nowadays would want to put up their own food

establishment.

The culture embedded in our cuisines, on the other hand, had become a

mixture of various traditions. That is the reason why there are fusions between

other cultures to our own. It can be seen in our cuisines that there are

influences of other cultures in our way of living, including the dishes that we

usually cook at home or anywhere else. The foods that we eat are also

influences of other cultures like those of pastas, siomai, kimchi, etc. A recent

market study done by De La Salle University revealed that Filipinos are willing

to patronize a restaurant offering non-mainstream cuisine (e.g. Latin American,

European, or Caribbean). This is the reason why some ethnic themed


restaurants are struggling in their sales. Even though there are still goers to

such restaurants, most people still prefer to try other cuisines originating from

other places that is not of their own.

The Filipino way of eating has become mixed with foreign dishes.
