Abstract

Abstract: The study examined the public perception of the environmental conditions of restaurants in Port Harcourt Metropolis, Rivers State, Nigeria. Eight hundred and seventy copies of questionnaire were used to elicit information from the workers and customers of the restaurants. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. Findings showed among the workers, 55.9% were males and 44.1% were females while among the customers 45.7% were males and 54.3% were females. More than 50% of respondents among the workers and customers had income per month of more than 50000 naira. Results also showed that all the environmental conditions varied significantly at p<0.05 among the restaurants. Moreso, the analysis showed that the noise level inside the restaurant is higher than that outside the restaurants. The study concluded that the general environmental quality condition of the restaurant is bearable except the noise. Based on the findings, the study recommended that restaurants workers should be encouraged more with respect to a hygienic and clean environment to promote more patronage to the restaurants.
