The research problems include how the food traceability system can improve food quality and safety; how it will bring competitive advantages for the restaurant; and whether it is adaptable to the restaurant. The primary data was obtained by interviewing key participants in the restaurant’s food supply chain. The data is reliable as triangulation data shows similarities. The study finds that there is a willingness to build the food traceability system regardless of resources deficiency, as participants all agree that a food traceability system can help enhance food quality and safety.
