Bitner’s Servicecape (Fig:1) and M-R (Fig:2) below indicates proposed framework to use as foundation for this study. For example, academics must analyse relevant literature, theories and analytical models that are relevant to the framework, and are related to the area of study. And the selected theory must also depend on the applicability, ease of execution and justifications. Figure 1: Servicecape Model – by Mary J Bitner “Bitner’s framework can be a useful tool in enhancing a ‘food and beverage’
