This study was performed to develop menu satisfaction index in Business & Industry (B&I) food service and to survey customer’s menu satisfaction using the index. The menu satisfaction index included 16 items with Likert 5 point. Cronbach’s alpha to assess the internal reliability of the developed scales was 0.8917, which indicated highly reliable. Construct validity was assessed by principal components analysis and then four factors explaining 65.964% of the total variance were found. Among the 15 items of menu satisfaction, the average scores of all items were above 3.0 out of 5. As a result of analysis on menu satisfaction factors, ‘propriety of food temperature’ (3.52 out of 5) was the highest consideration followed by ‘sufficiency of format’ (3.46), ‘excellence in food’ (3.35) and ‘well-being orientation’ (3.31). It could be said that customer’s perception on the menu quality was very positive. Four factors were correlated with overall menu satisfaction positively. Especially, ‘excellence in food’, and ‘well-being orientation’ and ‘sufficiency of format’ affected significantly on overall menu satisfaction. It concluded that customers were satisfied with portion size, temperature, price but their needs for taste and health/nutrition-related service would be increased. The menu satisfaction developed in this study should be applied to other B & I food service operation by type.
