Abstract

The public administration of the Popular Restaurants of the city of Toledo/PR/BR received a positive acknowledgment from the Ministry of Social Development in 2015. In this regard, this work investigated the effects of the services provided by this program, through measurement and analysis of opinions of the users on the variables that correspond to the management of the popular restaurants and the effects for their food health and social development, caused by participating in this program. We used the Likert scale questionnaire methodology for the measurement of opinions and Partial Least Squares (PLS) to test the hypothesis of the proposed Structural Equations Model. It was found that the services provided by the Popular Restaurants of this city caused in its users positive health and social development effects. In addition, the socioeconomic profile of the users was identified, which showed that the popular restaurants are very important for the population that has more restricted income, allowing easy and low-cost access to healthy food.
