Thus, this research commences with an overview of supplier selection criteria, followed by a comprehensive review of criteria employed across diverse industries. Through this review, this study identify and distill five key criteria uniquely suited for restaurants: Finance, Technology, Product Quality, Cost, and Service of Supplier. These criteria are subsequently subjected to thorough analysis. This study ultimately contributes novel insights into supplier selection within the restaurant sector, providing the industry with robust decision-making support and practical guidance.
