Popis: Increasing pressure has been placed on the restaurant industry concerning the employee-employer relationship and organisations struggle to implement strategies that successfully address workforce concerns while continuing to optimise financial performance. Service management and service-profit chain literature have offered initial support for a framework in which employee perceptions influence customer perceptions of service, which in turn affect financial results. The following paper examines the growing body of service-profit chain literature and provides suggestions for future research within the industry including evaluating employee engagement as the employee perceptions' construct within the chain.
