customers, they must not just serve a tasty dish but also give their customers a high quality services. They need to sustain the satisfaction of their customers to make their business grow. Sustainability is the ability to be maintained at a certain rate or level. In business, it is often defined as managing the triple bottom line – a process by which companies manage their financial, social and

opportunities,

these three impacts are sometimes referred to as profits, people and planet. Business sustainability requires firms to adhere to the principles of sustainable development. According to

sustainable development is development that “meets the needs”. So, for industrial development to be sustainable, it must address important issues at the macro level such as

The

the

of

service and food quality in satisfying their customers as an antecedent of their retention. The restaurants, as studied by Harrington et al. (2011, 437), are in need to get more understanding of customer satisfaction as to their restaurant quality they experience

in

a

restaurant are the food, atmosphere and the location, while food, price and the staff are the dissatisfaction creating

attributes.

However,

none

of

the

themes

are

related to sustainability. Thus, although sustainability is

important

in

today’s

business,

customers

are

not

seeking it as a restaurant attribute. Key words: Green restaurant, sustainability, restaurant attributes. Satisfaction and dissatisfaction themes that raised in this study are similar to each other. However only service quality is the theme for satisfaction, but not for dissatisfaction. This is an interesting result yet it is

an

important

attribute

which

creates

satisfaction

(Peturkova and Parsa, 2010; Koo et al, 1999; Gregory and Kim, 2004; Gupta et al., 2007; Jeong and Jang, 2011;

School of Business, Accountancy and Hospitality Management

Alonso et al., 2013; Kivela, 1997). Similar to that, the same result is observed in this study. However, unlike satisfaction, it is not a dissatisfaction attribute. This may be interpreted as an attribute not so necessary. Food is

satisfaction.

This result is also supported by other studies (Kivela, 1997; Heung, 2002; Weiss et al., 2004; Gregory and Kim, 2004; Perutkova, 2010; Jeung and Jang, 2011; Harrington et al, 2011; Harrington et al, 2013). In this theme, the taste of the food is the most important attribute which is also considered as important in other studies (Bhuian, 2000;

These

attributes

are

also

considered

as

important in Bhuian (2000), Koo et al. (1999), Gregory and Kim (2004) and, Kivela (1997). Staff, which is an important

establishments

are

also

important in this study as well. The staff is considered as the agent of the restaurant so, the attitude of the staff towards customers is very significant. Kastamonu University Journal of faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences- Volume 18, Issue 1, ICEBSS 2017 Special Issue 186 the customers are very important. The theme is also important for Alonso et al. (2013), Heung (2002) and, Weiss et al (2004). Price is the last but

not

least

important

factor

for

customers.

The

appropriateness of the price is the only attribute for customers. Although Liu and Jang (2009) considered it as the accurateness of the check, the price itself is an important

attribute

In

are on green applications. So, it can be said that, the green restaurants are not informing their customers about the green applications or, these applications are not important for the customers. For further studies, the attitudes

The results reported here may have a broader application to provide effective managerial and marketing information to many other ethnic restaurants in Australia and beyond.

If customers are satisfied with the restaurant, they will be loyal to it and would come again and with positive word of mouth, refer to other people as well.

in

an

extensive

investigation of quality in four service businesses and by developing a model of service quality, that sought to improve the previously developed methods by developing a set of firm characteristics that could be measured by providing the first complete set of ten service quality determinants: communication,

tangibles,

reliability,

credibility,

responsiveness,

security,

competence,

courtesy, understanding/knowing the customer, and access, and thereby introduced the value of gap measurement in customer
