Abstract

This study examines the implementation of food cost management in the hotel industry, identifying key factors influencing food cost stability and proposing strategies to enhance cost efficiency. Effective food cost control is crucial for maintaining profitability and sustainability in hotel operations. A mixed-methods approach was utilized, incorporating observations, documentation, and structured interviews with key personnel, including the Financial Controller, Cost Controller, Purchasing Manager, and Store Manager. Quantitative descriptive analysis revealed inefficiencies in food cost management, with excessive purchasing and insufficient sales contributing to elevated costs. Qualitative analysis further identified several internal and external factors affecting food cost stability. External influences, such as fluctuations in raw material prices, posed challenges in maintaining consistent food costs. Internally, issues such as equipment malfunctions, poor inventory management, and lack of employee discipline significantly impacted cost efficiency. Findings indicate that ineffective cost control mechanisms hinder the hotel's ability to maintain optimal food cost levels. To address these challenges, the study recommends a series of strategic interventions. Regular adjustments to menu pricing based on market trends and cost analysis can help mitigate external price fluctuations. Strengthening supervision and control over food cost disbursements will enhance accountability and efficiency. Additionally, improving employee discipline through training and performance monitoring can minimize waste and operational inefficiencies. By implementing these measures, hotels can achieve more effective food cost management, reduce unnecessary expenditures, and improve overall financial performance. Optimizing food cost efficiency not only enhances profitability but also contributes to the long-term sustainability of hotel operations. This study underscores the importance of proactive cost management strategies to ensure financial stability and operational success in the hospitality industry.

Abstract

Tourism in Bali, particularly in Badung Regency, drives significant economic growth but also creates challenges related to traffic congestion, greenhouse gas emissions, and environmental sustainability. Sustainable transportation has been identified as a key component of sustainable tourism, yet its implementation and stakeholder perceptions remain underexplored. This exploratory study employed a mixed-methods design, combining a survey of 50 stakeholders (tourists, residents, businesses, and government/NGO representatives) with semi-structured interviews. Quantitative analysis included descriptive statistics, correlation, and regression tests, while qualitative data provided contextual insights. Stakeholders perceived the availability (M = 3.12) and accessibility (M = 3.20) of sustainable transportation as moderate, with higher ratings from businesses and government compared to residents and tourists. Policy support (β = .34, p = .009) and business investment (β = .29, p = .021) emerged as significant enabling factors, while infrastructure limitations (β = –.31, p = .014) and high costs (β = –.28, p = .027) were the most critical constraints. Stakeholders recognized contributions of sustainable transport to competitiveness, particularly in enhancing environmental quality (M = 3.92) and reducing congestion (M = 3.74). The results suggest that while sustainable transportation initiatives exist, their reach remains uneven. Strong policy frameworks and private sector leadership are essential enablers, but adoption is hindered by infrastructure gaps and financial barriers. Stakeholders nevertheless view sustainable transport as central to Bali’s environmental sustainability and long-term competitiveness in the global tourism market.

The research is motivated by two things, first, the issue of inclusivity is an issue amidst the rapid pace of economic development in Badung Regency. Second, the analysis of IEDI data is not yet widely known and used in regional development policy formulation. The method used in this research is descriptive statistics and a literature study. The results of the analysis show that from 2012 to 2021, the average IEDI value for Badung Regency was 5.85 with a decreasing trend. This condition indicates symptoms of widening economic development gaps at a high rate of economic growth. Through this research, it is hoped that analysis of development can be carried out from a comprehensive perspective, later on policy formulation is expected to be oriented towards inclusive economic development.
