Utilizing Nutmeg Fermentation in Making Nutmeg Lychee Sparkel Mocktail
type: item
description: This research aims to develop a fermented mocktail beverage based on nutmeg fruit (Myristica fragrans) as an innovative non-alcoholic beverage product with distinctive flavors and potential health benefits. Nutmeg fruit was chosen because it contains bioactive compounds and strong aroma, with potential for fermentation to enhance flavor characteristics and functional value. The research method uses a laboratory experimental approach including nutmeg fruit fermentation using starter culture (Lactobacillus spp.). Mocktail mixture formulation with additional ingredients such as lime, honey, and mint leaves, and organoleptic testing with 8 panelists. This beverage was positively received by panelists in terms of taste, aroma, and appearance.

The Making of Brudel Cake Using Palm Sap (Saguer) as a Minahasa Heritage Cake
type: item
description: Brudel Nira cake is one of the traditional food products that has begun to fade from public attention, especially among the younger generation. In fact, this cake holds significant historical and cultural value for the Minahasa community. This study aims to revive the existence of Brudel cake as a Minahasa heritage cake through the utilization of fresh aren sap (nira aren) as a natural fermentation agent to replace yeast. The background of this research is driven by the intention to preserve local culinary heritage while optimizing the potential of abundant natural ingredients available in the region. In addition, this study also analyzes consumer acceptance, selling price calculation, and product packaging design. The method used in this study is a research and development (R&D) approach, which includes stages such as recipe exploration, product formulation, organoleptic testing, cost of production (HPP) analysis, and promotional strategies. The product was promoted through strategic placement in locations such as souvenir centers, hotels, and airports. The trial process was carried out four times to obtain the best formulation, considering aspects of taste, texture, aroma, and dough development level. The final trial showed that the product reached a high level of consumer satisfaction based on hedonic organoleptic tests. The physical observations showed that Formula 1 (F1) did not experience significant expansion due to the absence of a fermentation process, while Formulas 2 (F2) through 4 (F4) exhibited an increase in dough volume, with F4 demonstrating the most optimal expansion.

A Strategic Framework for Authentic Sustainability Communication to Mitigate Greenwashing in Luxury Resort
type: item
description: The luxury hospitality sector faces the critical challenge of communicating sustainability to a sceptical audience without being accused of greenwashing, a risk that is particularly damaging to luxury brands whose value depends on consumer trust and authenticity. This study addresses this problem by analysing the marketing communication strategy of Capella Ubud, Bali, a resort recognised for its sustainability. The research deconstructs the resort's proactive communication architecture to produce a transferable strategic framework for the wider industry. A qualitative single case study methodology was used, triangulating data from written interviews with key marketing staff, digital observation of online channels, and an analysis of public documents. This data was then interpreted using thematic analysis through the theoretical lenses of Integrated Marketing Communication (IMC) and Signalling Theory. The analysis reveals a proactive strategy built on four interconnected pillars: (1) establishing foundational credibility with verifiable signals like third-party certifications; (2) creating authentic narratives through deep cultural and community immersion; (3) ensuring message consistency with an integrated communication process; and (4) making sustainability a lived reality by weaving it into the core guest experience. The study concludes that the resort’s ability to mitigate greenwashing risk comes from a cohesive and dynamic strategy where all four pillars work in a mutually reinforcing cycle. It proposes a framework to help other luxury brands enhance their brand integrity and transform sustainability from a potential liability into a core brand asset.

Analysis of The Role of The Laundry Section in Handling Guest Complaints at Lion Hotel Plaza Manado
type: item
description: This study aims to identify the types of guest complaints and to analyze the role of the laundry section in handling complaints at Lion Hotel & Plaza Manado. This research employed a descriptive qualitative method with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The research subjects were the housekeeping supervisor and laundry section staff, while the objects were guest complaints and their handling procedures. The results show that the types of complaints include delayed delivery of clothes, mixed-up clothes, stained clothes, damaged clothes, and lost clothes. The main causes of complaints were the high volume of daily laundry and the lack of staff accuracy during sorting and final checking. In handling complaints, the laundry section has attempted to apply the Standard Operating Procedures (SOP), which consist of listening to complaints, showing empathy, apologizing, and providing solutions. However, the implementation of SOP has not been fully consistent due to coordination issues and time limitations. The supervisor plays a crucial role in monitoring the implementation of SOP, providing guidance, and ensuring that complaints are handled properly. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the success of the laundry section in handling complaints not only has a technical impact on laundry quality but also a strategic influence on the hotel’s image and guest satisfaction.

description: This study aims to analyze the implementation of hygiene, sanitation, and personal hygiene in maintaining and improving service quality in the banquet section of Hotel The Sentra Manado. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method using observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. The findings reveal that the implementation of hygiene and sanitation is fairly good among permanent staff but uneven among casual staff. Areas requiring improvement include consistent cleaning procedures, prompt responses to guest complaints, and supervision of rarely used spaces. In terms of personal hygiene, staff are perceived as clean and professional by guests, although the understanding of hygiene standards is not yet evenly distributed. The study concludes that optimal hygiene and personal hygiene practices contribute to enhancing five dimensions of service quality: tangibles, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, and empathy. It is recommended that management provide regular training, continuous supervision, and strengthen a clean work culture to maintain and develop service quality comprehensively and sustainably.

By combining Cap Tikus and mango, the researchers created a new drink called “Sunrise Bliss”, which is expected to provide consumers with a fresh and appealing tropical taste experience. The method used in this research is an experimental method, where researchers conducted six composition tests to achieve a balance taste, aroma, and appearance of the beverage. Each test was evaluated by expert respondents, namely bartenders and lecturers in the fields of culinary arts and tourism. The best results were found in the sixth formula with the following composition: 1.5 oz Cap Tikus, 3 oz mango, 0.5 oz simple syrup, 75 ml mineral water, ice crystals, brown sugar, and dried mango garnish. From the experiement, the “Sunrise Bliss” cocktail has a sweet, fresh taste and a distinctive mango aroma. In this research, the researchers also designed attractive packaging that mathces the character of the product, namely transparent glass bottles with wooden caps and logos printed on the bottles. Thus, “Sunrise Bliss” is not only an innovation in the world of local cocktails, but also a form of preservation and development of traditional Indonesian beverages. The use of Cap Tikus as the main ingredient demonstrates that local products can compete and be developed into high-value economic products. It is hoped that this research will inspire similar innovations that highlight the potential of local wisdom.
