Through actual observation of business operations and direct participation in some working processes here combined with the results of existing surveys, surveys of customers, the process of analyzing and synthesizing collected data has shown as follows: The restaurant's customer satisfaction level with food service has achieved certain successes. Customers appreciate the restaurant's food service including service quality and food quality.
The restaurant has provided customers with five- star quality dishes with a variety of menus, dishes that respond to the tastes of the majority of customers, and food that is served quickly and thoughtfully. The service staff has the appearance to leave sympathy for customers and the service is very dedicated and attentive. The restaurant also always creates favorable conditions in terms of facilities to meet the needs of customers. In addition, there are still limitations that need to be resolved promptly.
Specifically, customers are still not satisfied with the qualifications of the restaurant staff, such as foreign language proficiency, and ability to solve arising problems. 1 Nguyen Thi Hien — 11191848 — Business English 61C Sometimes the restaurant does not serve food quickly to customers and the parking space is still cramped compared to the number of guests here. Some dishes according to customer reviews are not commensurate with the price. In summary, the survey results are discussed to suggest some recommendations to improve customer satisfaction with food service at JW Marriott Hanoi's French Grill restaurant as follows: Restaurants should supplement and improve the quality of restaurant staff including restaurant staff and kitchen staff by retraining staff on foreign language skills, professional expertise, and careful recruitment of new employees.
In addition, the restaurant should also improve equipment and systems to have a modern facility to meet more customers. Restaurants should also focus on the process of monitoring the process of serving food to customers and strengthen research on customer needs to provide the highest quality of food service efficiency. 11 Nguyen Thi Hien — 11191848 — Business English 61C TABLE OF CONTENTS. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS .- LH HH HT TH HT HH TH HH nưệt iv LIST OF TABLES AND FIGURES.cccccececceecceceeesceeeseeseeceeeeeeeaeceseeeeseeseeeeeeaes vii LIST OF LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS.-- --- su TH Thu TH Hư nh nh 1 V000) l1.

Research Rationale Today's tremendous economic development, together with the expansion of science and technology, has substantially improved people's lives.
Not only has the material life improved, but so has the spiritual life, as seen by the increased desire for travel and recreation. This has created an opportunity for the tourism industry in general, and the hotel and restaurant industry in particular, to grow. Generally, the number of hotels and restaurants has expanded in recent years, and products and services have been consistently upgraded and diversified to satisfy people's demands. However, a problem emerges as a result of the severe competition between food service and accommodation enterprises by any business operating in any area that wants to live and grow development, the product that the business must be accepted by customers.
To succeed, businesses must constantly enhance their products and their product quality, especially in the Hotel-Restaurant industry, where the products are services, intangible products, feelings, and emotions. Only after using the product or service does the customer receive a receipt. While making selections to consume restaurant and hotel products and services, most customers rely on the views of acquaintances or their own experiences. Observation, investigation, and information provided by hotel management during an internship at JWM, JWMis part of a luxury brand owned by Marriott Group, one of the world's largest enterprises.
With its precursor, the French Grill restaurant is one of the hotel's three main restaurants, but it claims to be the most appealing. Although it is thought to be one of the most important revenue streams for the JWM, the restaurant has yet to make an impression on customers, and the crew servicing the restaurant is elderly and inexperienced, so there are some flaws in the service process. Therefore, the technical capabilities are fairly limited. These factors can have an impact on customer satisfaction when utilizing the restaurant's services, lowering the restaurant's competitiveness and income.
Given the reasons stated above, the problem is that there is a need for the study to improve customers’ satisfaction with food service at JWM's French Grill restaurant, so I chose the " Evaluation of Customer Satisfaction for Food Service at French Grill restaurant of JW Marriott Hanoi hotel" perform my research.
