Abstract

The present research aims to critically investigate the perceptions of Persian ethnic restaurant managers towards authenticity and to appraise their opinions and awareness towards the application of sensory strategies within their businesses. Semi-structured interviews were used to form rich data by an in-depth exploration of the research topic. The findings revealed that there are inconsistencies in terms of the customers perceptions and expectations which are reported in the literature and the opinions and the experiences of the restaurateurs. This paper also highlights the lack of studies on authenticity and sensory strategies within dining setting with the focus on service providers and unfolds the role of cultural beliefs on the decision making of the business owners.
