Abstract

Indonesia is considered one of the most populous countries, with a total population estimated at around 261,890,900 people (Indonesia Statistics Bureau, 2018). There are several major urban areas in Indonesia, these urban areas are: Jakarta, Surabaya, Bandung, Medan and Semarang. Surabaya is the second most populous city in Indonesia. Based on the data that was taken from Indonesia's Statistics Bureau (BPS) the total population of Surabaya grew on average 2.993% per year from 2010 to 2013. Thus it can be concluded that Surabaya is experiencing quite a significant growth in its population.

Since food is one of the most basic human needs, the growth of the population here means that there is more demand for food. This statement is supported by the data that was taken from BPS which stated that the amount of money which was spent on food in a monthly basis by the Indonesian people has increased by 9.89% from IDR 319,145 in 2012 to IDR 429,746 in 2013 (Surabaya Statistics Bureau, 2015). This increase in the demand for food has resulted in the increase in restaurants that have opened in Surabaya. In 2012, the tourism government in Surabaya stated that there were 468 new food businesses that had been opened in Surabaya. These food businesses consist of different types of restaurants such as western cafes, Indonesian restaurants as well as fast food, food courts and bars.
