This study aims to examine and analyze how the implementation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) impacts employee performance improvement at Chatter Lounge Restaurant, Gumaya Tower Semarang. The background of this research stems from initial observations and interviews that revealed inconsistencies in SOP implementation, particularly in aspects of grooming and staff attitudes toward guests. A qualitative descriptive method with a case study approach was employed to gain a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with four key informants, direct observations of operational activities, and digital documentation related to SOP practices. The data analysis followed the interactive model of Miles and Huberman, which includes three main stages: data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that SOP implementation positively contributes to enhancing employee discipline, time efficiency, and accuracy in following service procedures, leading to a more standardized service quality. Nevertheless, the implementation is not yet fully optimal as several employees lack a comprehensive understanding of SOP content. Inhibiting factors include limited advanced training opportunities, one-way briefings that restrict interactive communication, and the absence of a performance-based reward system to motivate staff. The study highlights that while SOPs serve as a crucial guideline to improve consistency and professionalism, their effectiveness depends heavily on continuous reinforcement and employee engagement. Therefore, it is recommended that the restaurant management strengthen SOP implementation through ongoing training, more participatory internal communication, and the establishment of performance-based reward mechanisms to maximize employee motivation, ensure service excellence, and ultimately enhance guest satisfaction.

This study aims to examine the influence of word of mouth on buying interest and its impact on the purchase decision of Muzan Net wi-fi services. This study uses three main variables, namely independent variables, bound variables, and intervening variables. The free variable is word of mouth, the bound variable is the purchase decision, while the intervening variable is the buying interest. The research sample consisted of 55 consumer respondents who knew and used the Muzan Net wi-fi service in Sanggrahan Village. Research data was obtained through questionnaires, observations, and interviews, with sampling techniques using the simple random sampling method. Data analysis is carried out through several stages, namely measurement or outer model, structural model or inner model, and hypothesis test. The results of the study show that word of mouth has a positive and significant effect on buying interest. Furthermore, word of mouth also has a positive but not insignificant effect directly on the purchase decision. Meanwhile, buying interest has been proven to have a positive and significant effect on purchase decisions. In addition, buying interest is able to mediate the relationship between word of mouth and purchase decisions, thereby strengthening the role of word of mouth in encouraging consumers to finally make a purchase decision.

Successful pollination in oil palm depends heavily on the availability of Elaeidobius kamerunicus pollinator insects that require anthesis male flowers as habitat and food sources. This study aimed to analyze the relationship between anthesis male flower availability on E. kamerunicus beetle population and its impact on parthenocarpy bunch formation at PT. Graha Inti Jaya, Central Kalimantan. Observational method with descriptive and correlational approaches was conducted on 484.57 hectares of oil palm plants varieties Socfindo and Lonsum planted in 2007-2008 during February-July 2025 period. Data collection included anthesis male flower census, beetle population monitoring using yellow traps, and parthenocarpy bunch analysis from mill sorting. Data analysis used linear regression, Pearson correlation, and two-way ANOVA with 95% confidence level. Results showed significant relationship between anthesis male flower availability and E. kamerunicus beetle population (R² = 0.728, p < 0.05), where each unit increase of anthesis male flower increased beetle population by 2,667 individuals per hectare. However, relationship between beetle population and parthenocarpy bunches was not significant (R² = 0.114, p > 0.05), indicating complexity of pollination factors. Variety and planting year differences showed no significant effect. This study recommends maintaining anthesis male flower availability >5% per hectare for optimal natural pollinator beetle population.

The purpose of this education is to increase public awareness, especially among teenagers, of the impacts of early marriage through educational seminars and Service-Learning-based outreach in Naga Kesiangan Village. Early marriage remains a critical issue in Indonesia, often associated with health risks, psychological stress, and limited educational and social opportunities for young people. The Service-Learning approach was chosen because it not only provides knowledge transfer but also actively engages participants in reflection and discussion, ensuring that the learning process is more contextual and sustainable. The method used was Service-Learning, involving 30 teenagers aged 15–19 years, 15 parents, and 5 community leaders who were purposively selected for their direct relevance to the issue. Activities included seminars, small group discussions, interactive question-and-answer sessions, and collective reflection. The results of the activity showed a significant increase in participants’ understanding, from 42% (pre-test) to 81% (post-test). Participants gained a deeper understanding of the health, psychological, social, and educational risks of early marriage and were encouraged to delay marriage by choosing positive alternatives through education and skill development. This program also strengthened the role of families and community leaders as preventive agents by fostering collective awareness and support. Thus, educational seminars integrated with Service-Learning prove to be effective and replicable strategies to prevent early marriage practices, while also empowering communities to build healthier, more resilient generations.

The purpose of this investigation is to analyze the influence of digital transaction methods on the control mechanisms of cash revenue at the Grand Hyatt Bali Hotel. The study applies a qualitative descriptive design, where information is gathered through interviews, field observations, and the review of supporting documents, including transcripts of discussions. The findings reveal that digital payments at the Grand Hyatt Bali provide convenience to guests in conducting transactions such as transaction speed, recording accuracy, and ease in the verification process. However, the use of digital payments also has a negative impact where digital cash receipts are recorded in the accounts receivable section requiring many supporting documents making it appear less optimal and less functional and highly dependent on the availability and stability of the internet network connection. From an internal control perspective, digital payments help improve transparency and accuracy in cash recording processes. The risk of miscalculations or data manipulation is reduced because transaction evidence is readily available digitally, in the form of sales slips, system notifications, and account statements. The mechanism of internal supervision regarding cash inflows at Grand Hyatt Bali Hotel based on COSO consists of several components, namely the organizational climate, monitoring practices, hazard analysis, exchange of insights and knowledge, and supervision. Overall, the implementation of internal controls has been carried out by all staff, however, the implementation is still not optimal related to the collection of documents that are still late, this is caused by staff knowledge about the documents required when digital payments are still not executed according to the procedures outlined in the SOP.

The community service team observed that a common issue faced by students in partner schools is difficulty focusing during lessons, largely due to distractions from gadgets, particularly social media. Many students become fixated on social media applications, ignoring ongoing lessons. This concern has prompted our partner schools to organize interactive discussions and provide information on how to use social media wisely and manage time between learning and gadget use. And the goal of our community service was to raise awareness and provide training on responsible social media use, prevent the impact of social media on adolescent brain development (brain rot), and improve students' focus and thinking skills. The methods used in this community service included: (a) analyzing the needs and problems, (b) observing and understanding the policies of the partner schools in addressing these issues, and (c) conducting activities that involved socializing responsible social media use and brain development training. The community service was conducted on Tuesday, June 17, 2025, at MA Bina Mulia, Pasir Putih Village, Sawangan District, Depok, West Java, from 08:00 to 10:00 WIB. The event consisted of a presentation on "Brain Rot in Productive Age Teenagers," followed by training aimed at enhancing focus and reasoning skills

This study examines the social, economic, and tourism impacts on the lives of the community in Penglipuran Tourism Village. The research highlights that the growth of tourism significantly increases local income by approximately 150–300%, fosters the creation of new business opportunities, and contributes to the preservation of Balinese culture and traditions. Tourism development not only strengthens the village’s cultural identity but also enhances social cohesion through community-based tourism initiatives. In addition, the adoption of digital technologies, such as cashless payment systems and electronic ticketing, has improved transaction efficiency, transparency, and market expansion, while also providing better services for visitors. Despite these benefits, several challenges have emerged, including growing environmental pressures, waste management issues, and the potential widening of economic inequality between residents directly involved in tourism and those who are not. These challenges indicate that tourism development can also create socio-economic gaps and place strains on the village’s natural resources if not managed carefully. Therefore, sustainable tourism management becomes crucial in balancing cultural preservation, economic equity, and environmental protection. This study suggests that policies integrating community participation, equitable economic distribution, and environmental sustainability are essential to ensure long-term positive impacts. Ultimately, Penglipuran Tourism Village can serve as a model for sustainable rural tourism development in Indonesia and beyond.

The emergence of various commonwealths, alliances, and other forms of inter-state organizations has significantly influenced the course of existing international cooperation. Cooperation between countries serves not only as a platform for strengthening political and social relations but also as a key element in meeting domestic needs that cannot be met independently through a country's self-help programs. Therefore, international cooperation is an aspect that is continuously maintained and strengthened by countries worldwide. Historically, cooperative relations between countries have generally developed as a result of the increasing ties that have existed over time. This dynamic involves various sectors, including economics, trade, and investment, further demonstrating the crucial role of international relations in a country's progress. Countries involved in this cooperation benefit each other, both in meeting domestic needs and in increasing their economic capacity through innovation and collaboration. The data sources for this study were obtained from documents obtained through internet media, which were then processed and analyzed to gain a deeper understanding of the impact of international cooperation. This study uses a quantitative approach, focusing on the analysis of investment flows into the country. Increased investment flows will drive higher growth in goods production, which in turn will strengthen trade activities, including exports to destination countries such as China. Furthermore, increased investment also contributes to the growth of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in developing countries. This GDP increase will positively impact Indonesia's trade balance, particularly with China, one of its major trading partners in the Asian region.

The problem of plastic waste in Gandan Hamlet, Pogalan Village, is becoming an increasingly urgent environmental issue that requires sustainable management. Unmanaged waste can pollute the soil, air, and water, and threaten public health. In response to this situation, Tidar University Community Service (KKN) students implemented an innovative community-based waste management program. The main focus of this program is to utilize plastic waste into products with utility and sales value, namely plastic-filled pillows and Eco-Paving Blocks. This activity was carried out through a participatory approach by actively involving the community at every stage, from outreach and education to technical training on the collection, sorting, and processing of plastic waste. The education provided concerns the dangers of plastic waste to the environment and the importance of recycling as an alternative solution. Making pillows from plastic filling was chosen because the process is simple, inexpensive, and can be done by housewives. Meanwhile, Eco-Paving Blocks are the result of utilizing mixed plastic waste as an environmentally friendly and durable building material. This program has succeeded in reducing the volume of plastic waste in the surrounding environment, while raising public awareness of the importance of environmental conservation. Furthermore, this activity opens up new economic opportunities for the community by creating creative products from waste. Evaluation results show that the community-based waste management model is effective in fostering community independence in waste processing, creating a cleaner environment, and encouraging a culture of sustainable living at the village level. The success of this program is expected to serve as an example for replication in other areas with similar challenges. Continued support from the village government and cross-sector collaboration are key to this initiative's continued growth and long-term impact.

The increase in customer complaints in e-commerce services requires an effective excellent service strategy to maintain customer trust and loyalty. This study aims to analyze the complaint handling strategy at PT. XYZ. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with in-depth interview techniques on four respondents who have different roles in customer service management. The results show that the most common complaints include product discrepancies, delivery delays, and slow refund processes. The main challenges include limitations in digital systems, interdepartmental coordination, and limited human resources. This study suggests optimizing customer service technology, strengthening internal coordination, and enhancing human resources to support 24/7 service and reinforce the company's image. Product discrepancies often arise from miscommunication between the sales and warehouse departments, leading to customers receiving products that do not match their expectations or the descriptions provided. Delivery delays are a common frustration, particularly during high-demand periods, affecting customer satisfaction and leading to negative reviews. Additionally, slow refund processes create frustration for customers, especially when dealing with returns or faulty products. These delays hinder the company's ability to provide excellent service and detract from the customer experience. One of the primary challenges identified in the study is the limitation in the digital systems used for customer service management. PT XYZ’s current system is not fully optimized to handle high volumes of complaints, leading to delays in responses and resolutions. Interdepartmental coordination is also a significant issue, as different departments such as logistics, sales, and customer service often operate in silos, making it difficult to resolve customer issues promptly.

Base-G Beach is a tourist attraction located in North Jayapura District, Jayapura City, managed by the local community who hold customary land rights. This study aims to assess the economic impact of Base-G Beach using the multiplier effect analysis and to evaluate service quality based on the perceptions of visitors, business actors, and workers using a Likert scale. The assessment of six service aspects revealed that most were rated as very good, except for the availability of toilets and electricity, which still require attention. Regarding the economic impact, the Keynesian Income Multiplier calculation yielded a value of 0.27, indicating that the economic impact of this tourist attraction is still suboptimal. This value is below 1, meaning the tourism sector at Base-G Beach has not yet had a significant influence on the local economy. However, the Income Multiplier Ratios for Type I and Type II were 1.09 and 1.11, respectively, indicating a positive economic connection (≥1) between the tourism sector and the local economy. This suggests that there is potential for greater economic impact if the tourism sector is further developed. Nevertheless, the low Keynesian multiplier value indicates the need to strengthen the link between the tourism sector and the local economy. Therefore, it is recommended that the development of Base-G Beach tourism focus on improving infrastructure, particularly the provision of essential facilities such as toilets and electricity. Additionally, efforts should be made to expand the local economic network directly connected to the tourism sector. Improving service quality and developing infrastructure will help increase the economic impact of the tourist attraction, open new business opportunities, and provide greater benefits to the welfare of the surrounding community of Base-G Beach.

Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) are pivotal to the economic development of a country, contributing significantly to job creation, poverty alleviation, and the overall growth of the economy. In Indonesia, including Kupang City, MSMEs are considered a key pillar of the national economy. Despite their economic importance, MSMEs face challenges in fulfilling their tax obligations, with many failing to report taxes in accordance with the law. This non-compliance not only affects tax revenue collection but also hinders the effectiveness of the tax system. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing MSME tax reporting obligations in Kupang City by analyzing the roles of knowledge, understanding, awareness, and tax sanctions. Using a quantitative survey method, the research gathered data from MSMEs registered at the Kupang Tax Office (KPP Pratama). The findings revealed that knowledge, awareness, and tax sanctions have a significant impact on MSMEs' compliance with tax reporting obligations. In particular, knowledge and awareness were found to increase MSMEs' understanding of their responsibilities, motivating them to fulfill their tax obligations. On the other hand, tax understanding, despite being important, did not have a significant direct effect on compliance, which may indicate that practical experience and exposure to tax-related practices play a more crucial role. Moreover, when analyzed simultaneously, all four variables—knowledge, understanding, awareness, and tax sanctions—had a significant impact on MSMEs' tax reporting obligations. These results highlight the importance of targeted interventions, such as comprehensive tax education and regular outreach programs. By offering training sessions, mentoring, and practical workshops, tax authorities can better engage with MSMEs and improve their tax compliance rates.

Loyang Dogan cake is a traditional Indonesian food commonly sold in markets without the use of modern preservation methods, making it susceptible to microbial contamination. This food is often produced and sold in conditions that may affect its quality and safety. Therefore, this study aims to provide a scientific overview of the potential microbial contamination in Loyang Dogan cakes and its benefits as an educational foundation for both producers and consumers regarding the importance of food hygiene. The focus of this research is to identify bacterial colony growth in Loyang Dogan cakes through microbiological culture tests. The method used in this study involves inoculation, starting with the dilution of the sample using sterile solutions, followed by inoculation onto a Nutrient Agar (NA) medium that has been solidified. The samples are then incubated at 37°C for 24 to 48 hours. After the incubation period, the growing colonies are observed and the number and morphological characteristics are recorded. The results show bacterial colony growth in all tested samples, with differences in the number and shape of the colonies depending on the sample source. The bacterial colonies generally appear white, cream, or yellowish, round, smooth, and vary in size. These findings indicate that Loyang Dogan cakes have the potential to be contaminated with microbes during the production and sale process, posing risks to the quality and safety of consumption. Based on the results, it is concluded that improvements in sanitation and food handling practices for traditional products like Loyang Dogan are necessary to ensure their safety for public consumption. Therefore, educating producers and consumers about food hygiene is crucial to raising awareness of the importance of maintaining food quality and safety.
