Abstract

The research presented contributed to Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) number 8, "Decent Work and Economic Growth." Its objective was to determine the impact of service costs on profitability in a restaurant. To this end, three specific objectives were developed: to analyze direct costs; to establish indirect costs; and to evaluate logistical costs, all in relation to their impact on restaurant profitability. The research was applied in nature, with a quantitative approach, a non-experimental design, and a descriptive scope. The population comprised six restaurant managers in Casma. The data collection technique was surveys, and the instrument used was a questionnaire. The investigation yielded a correlation coefficient of r=0.634 with a significance level of 0.838. The research also revealed that the return on total assets for the 2024 fiscal year was -76.62%, compared to 35.53% for 2023. The investigation concluded that there is no significant relationship between service costs and profitability at the restaurant in Casma. However, it did identify a need to restructure cost management to improve profitability levels within the organization.
