Abstract
This study is a cross-cultural comparison examining the attitudes of food and beverage sector employees towards the presence of traditional foods in menus. The study was carried out in three countries (Italy, the Czech Republic, and Turkey). A total of 576 sector employees participated in the study. A structured questionnaire form was used to collect data. The participants, in general, had positive attitudes towards the inclusion of traditional foods in business menus. The participants from Italy and the Czech Republic were determined to have closer attitudes to each other. There was a significant difference between higher attitude averages of the sector employees in Turkey and the participants from Italy and the Czech Republic (pâ¯<â¯0.001). No relationship was found between the attitudes and demographic characteristics of the sector employees among the participants in general (pâ¯>â¯0.05).
