1. Introduction
Dhaka is the capital of Bangladesh. Around 21 million people live in this city. Dhaka was under
the rule of Mughal Empire for a long time. From then the legacy of Kebab starts. Kebab is the
invention of Arabs. There are many different types of kebab. Because of its spicy taste most of
the Bengali people are fond of it. This is why there are so many kebab chains and restaurants in
Dhaka. The restaurant business is growing very fast and generating a lot of revenue.

Our research is mainly focused on a specific Bengali restaurant that is Star kabab. We have
focused on the service quality of Star Kabab on this paper. As the perception of customers
depend on various factors such as food quality, interior design, cleanliness, employee behaviour
etc. So it is very much necessary to evaluate the service quality of a restaurant to identify and
solve their problem and to continue a sustainable growth.

2. Background

2.1 Industry Background


The restaurant industry is a fast growing sector in Bangladesh. In fiscal year 2018 the growth
rate was 7.13%. The size of the sector is likely to reach at BDT 73.16 billion in the current fiscal
year which was BDT 68.20 billion in FY18, according to BBS estimation. The latest data of the
labor force survey showed that some 1.15 million workers are engaged in the accommodation
and food service activities in the country. (The Financial Express, April 2018). The restaurant
market of Bangladesh has estimated at BDT 4,500 crore in the last year and by 2021 the
restaurant sector will contribute 2.1 percent of the country’s GDP by the recent report. (Business
Daily 24, 2020).

2.2 Company Background


Star kabab is the best Bangladeshi restaurant winner in the “The Daily Star Foodiez choice
awards 2015”. Star Kabab started their journey on 1967 from Thatari Bazar, Nawabpur. It was
founded by Haji Mohammad Momtaz Uddin Ahmed who was born in 23rd September 1941 who
came up with such a great idea of introducing kabab with a new taste. There are different types
and forms of kabab like Beef shik kabab, Mutton boty kabab, Jali kabab, Chicken grill etc. All of

3. Management Decision problem, Research problem,


and Objectives

3.1 Management Decision Problem:


When the original owner of star died, his son took over Star Kabab’s ownership. Lack of honesty
and experience was the main reason of why Star Kabab lost so many consumer. Their service
became very poor as well as the quality of their food. Over 6 month star nearly lost their
traditional tag. People started shifting to different restaurants. So their problem was they lost
their consumer and they have to regain their consumer’s trust again.

How can Star Kabab improve their service quality in order to regain lost customers and market
share?

3.2 Research Problem:


This research will help us to understand the service quality perceptions and preferences of
customer towards Star Kabab. To make changes and improve the existing service quality, it is
necessary to know how the customers view Star Kabab and the things that Star Kabab is lacking
in their opinion. A survey based on the SERVQUAL model will help to gain the insights from
customer’s points of view.

3.3 Research Objectives:


 To analyze the quality of service provided by Star Kabab by using service quality
management model.
 To discuss if there is anything that can be done to improve the current service quality of
Star Kabab.
 To find out the best way to implement the process to improve the service quality of Star
Kabab.
