The research focused on the demographic profiles of the respondents and their perceptions of cultural sensitivity, company reputation, and quality service. Descriptive-correlation research design and convenience sampling were used to gather data from restaurant customers. The findings revealed moderate levels of cultural sensitivity and quality service in the food establishments.
