Sustainability in restaurants, Analytic hierarchy process, Sustainable practices.Abstract
In view of the inherent aspects that permeate the sustainability theme, as well as the importance of sustainability in society, it is relevant that studies are carried out with the purpose of helping organizations to be aligned with this bias. Thus, the objective of the present study is to evaluate the alternatives for improvement in quality in the process with emphasis on sustainable practices in a restaurant located in the northwest region of Rio Grande do Sul. Through an exploratory, descriptive, qualitative and quantitative approach, this study of cases evaluated a restaurant, listing quality improvement alternatives, aligned to sustainable practices, prioritizing through the hierarchical Process Analysis (AHP) method that the manager's view is more relevant. Thus, the results showed that an alternative to personnel training is the most prioritized, since its direct influence on the processes, which can help reduce the waste in the restaurant.
