<![CDATA[Business location selection is a crucial factor in business success, yet it is often done subjectively without a systematic approach. This study aims to develop a web-based decision support system to help business owners determine the best location using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. This method processes five main criteria: rental costs, space capacity, accessibility, location, and security. Data were obtained through interviews and field observations. The system was designed using a waterfall approach and implemented with an assessment input interface, an automated calculation process, and an alternative ranking output. Test results show the system is able to provide objective location recommendations, with Taman Aster as the best alternative. These findings suggest that integrating the SAW method into a web application can improve the efficiency and accuracy of business location decision-making.Keywords: Business location selection; Decision support system; SAW method; Web application; Culinary businessAbstrakPemilihan lokasi usaha merupakan faktor krusial dalam kesuksesan bisnis, namun masih sering dilakukan secara subjektif tanpa pendekatan sistematis.
