本研究旨在探索消費者對開放式廚房設計餐廳的五感(視覺、聽覺、味覺、嗅覺和觸覺)感官體驗與滿意度。研究以立意抽樣方法,運用自由列舉法,彙整消費者、廚師及餐旅管理系大學生共178位受測者,對於開放式廚房設計餐廳的感官體驗與滿意度觀點,並使用ANTHROPAC軟體進行資料分析。研究結果顯示,「可以聞到食物的香味」的嗅覺體驗,以及「廚房一目了然」與「可以瞭解製作過程」的視覺體驗,為出現頻率較高,且較早被列舉出來的五感感官體驗;在滿意度部分,大部分受測者表示,開放式廚房設計會增加其對餐廳的滿意度,主要原因為「可以瞭解製作過程」與「廚師會展現精湛的廚藝,覺得非常有趣」等。研究意涵期能提供餐廳業者在廚房設計時決策擬定之參考。
