<p>In order to stay competitive in the market, many fast-food restaurant owners are now implementing various measures to promote sustainable development. They include obtaining ingredients from local and organic farms, reducing energy or water use, and implementing recycling and composting.

People are becoming more aware of the importance of maintaining a healthy diet and its impact on their overall health.

The authors of this research study used a combination of exploratory research and quantitative marketing research to identify the quality strategies and sustainability measures and understand how consumers perceive their implementation. They conducted surveys and interviews with a sample of consumers to gather data on their attitudes and preferences regarding sustainable and quality measures in restaurants. The research results showed that most respondents want to consume fresh, healthy dishes and support the sustainability and quality measures that restaurants apply.
