The purpose of this paper is to present a review of the foodservice and restaurant literature that has been published over the past 10 years in the top hospitality and tourism journals. This information will be used to identify the key trends and topics studied over the past decade, and help to identify the gaps that appear in the research to identify opportunities for advancing future research in the area of foodservice and restaurant management.

Design/methodology/approach

This paper takes the form of a critical review of the extant literature that has been done in the foodservice and restaurant industries. Literature from the past 10 years will be qualitatively assessed to determine trends and gaps in the research to help guide the direction for future research.

The findings show that the past 10 years have seen an increase in the number of and the quality of foodservice and restaurant management research articles. The topics have been diverse and the findings have explored the changing and evolving segments of the foodservice industry, restaurant operations, service quality in foodservice, restaurant finance, foodservice marketing, food safety and healthfulness and the increased role of technology in the industry.

Research limitations/implications

Given the number of research papers done over the past 10 years in the area of foodservice, it is possible that some research has been missed and that some specific topics within the breadth and depth of the foodservice industry could have lacked sufficient coverage in this one paper. The implications from this paper are that it can be used to inform academics and practitioners where there is room for more research, it could provide ideas for more in-depth discussion of a specific topic and it is a detailed start into assessing the research done of late.

Originality/value

This paper helps foodservice researchers in determining where past research has gone and gives future direction for meaningful research to be done in the foodservice area moving forward to inform academicians and practitioners in the industry.

Profile image of Mariya Dedova

As modern practice shows, museums can form not only national but also urban identities, with equal success and thus become a framework for a complex system of local images and narratives. The brand as an identity today is formed not only at the level of public statements, made by administration representatives, alongside with the use of the official identity (logo, colours), but also in everyday space, which implies the need for the museum to enter the city space and for its museumification. In this article, the author would like to highlight, once more, the role of the museum in the formation of a sustainable brand of the territory, to show examples from Eastern Europe and, finally, to analyse the experience of museums working alongside the urban space to produce and maintain a certain brand. In addition to the analysis of direct tools, the author seeks to highlight a series of problematic issues that arise from working with the formation of a brand in Russian cities. In the article, the author addresses the often ignored basic principles and strategies for the integration of museums into the urban space.

The paper presents the results of research on the implementation of the marketing function in museums. The interest in marketing activities in Russian museums is constantly growing. At the same time, there are difficulties associated with the implementation of the marketing function in the organizational activity of museums. The research comprises of semi-structured interviews and a questionnaire survey of directors and heads of departments in museums. The obtained results demonstrate that the marketing function is ineffectively implemented in the activity of museums. Marketing is episodic. Marketing functions are distributed among the employees having no necessary qualification. Marketing tools are limited to certain communicative tools only. Museum officials are aware of the lack of marketing qualification and are interested in enriching marketing awareness of the museum workers. According to museum officials, the main method for increasing the marketing effect in museums is in attracting skilled marketing experts and financial resources for marketing activities. The measures to improve the effectiveness of marketing activities of museums were offered based on the obtained results.

Under the raising pressure of lacking financial investment and the competition from other entertainment fields, museums are more involved in store merchandising as one of the possible solutions. The true museum store should be both a gift shop and an extension of the exhibition, also a museum store often supports the museum through both financial and educational way. The research is going to generate possible recommendations in terms of the product merchandising and store features to museum stores, through several case studies and observations. The research is also going to combine the theory of the tourism merchandise to the museum store merchandise as there are similarities discovered between the two industries.

Suppose you have been given a brand new museum. It is a state of the art building with all the necessary technology built in (from security, to special environmental conditions, to light bulbs and everything), it is filled with beautiful artifacts, the labeling is done all right, and the casings are just perfect for each and every one of them. Along with the museum (yes humor me for a while) you have been given a certain budget to keep the museum going. The icing on the cake? You get also all the personnel needed to run this museum. Now, comes the catch. You need to make it work. But, how do you do that? You want to have people visiting your museum in a constant flow. Sure you will need public relations, advertising, maybe some collaborations with other museums, let’s throw in there and some educational programs (in order to attract younger ages), a website for this museum with everything built in like information about the museum, a virtual tour of the museum, and educational games for children and everything that new technologies can provide you and the list can keep on going. Each and everything you read in the last sentence are only some of the tools that one can have in order to turn a simple museum into a successful museum. Because, if you can combine all of these tools, you will have eventually a lot of people visit and revisit your museum. This in fact is the gist of marketing. Taking all the tools you have to turn something ordinary to extraordinary. In this thesis we will not discuss about an imaginary museum but for an actual museum that has a long history (over 100 years) and how it can utilize all of its tools through the marketing process and its strategies. The museum at hand is the Byzantine and Christian Museum in Athens. Key words: marketing, museum, marketing strategies for museums, Byzantine and Christian Museum

It is crucial to evaluate the usage practices of social networks in sustaining the urban brand. In this study, we discussed how museums as social memory spaces are subject to social media posts. The study is noteworthy because it gives an opinion about social media posts of museum visitors and determines the approach to museums in the formation of an urban brand. Accordingly, we examined the Instagram posts of social media users related to museums in Ankara via content analysis. We found that the posts shared were mainly photos. Museums were the greatest data source for the corporate Instagram accounts according to sharing frequency and they were all foundation and private museums. Examining the purposes of sharing, we determined a multidirectional social media use in the dimensions of communication via announcement, publicity and informing. Analysing the use of hashtags related to museums in the process of creating a brand city revealed that museums highlighted themselves, their activities and the city where they are located. The experience of visiting the museum creates the opinion that there is an impression of the brand value of the city where the museum is located. As a result of the study, we found that it is necessary to organize a campaign based on a specific motto to be shared by corporate accounts of museums, personal accounts of visitors, and Instagram content creators to strengthen the positioning of Ankara museums related to the city.
