This study aims to determine the effect of tax planning and capital structure on firm value, with firm size as a moderator. The population in this study is all non-cyclical consumer companies in the food and beverage subsector listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2024 period. The type of research used in this study is quantitative associative with secondary data. The research sample was determined using a purposive sampling technique. Based on this technique, 24 companies were obtained that met certain criteria. The panel data regression technique used in this study is the Random Effect Model. Testing of panel data regression and moderation regression uses the E=views 13 application. The results of this study indicate that tax planning partially has no effect on firm value, while capital structure does affect firm value. The results simultaneously show that tax planning and capital structure affect firm value. The results of this study also indicate that firm size weakens the relationship between tax planning and firm value, and firm size is also unable to moderate or weaken the relationship between capital structure and firm value.

The food and beverage industry in Indonesia is growing rapidly through digital marketing, particularly through the role of influencers in influencing consumer preferences and purchase intentions. Several influencers are no longer merely collaborating with brands, but are also becoming business owners by leveraging their personal branding and follower base. However, when promoting their own products, the effectiveness of these strategies on purchase intentions is not always consistent. This study aims to examine the influence of the Theory of Planned Behaviour on purchase intention and analyse the role of Parasocial Relationship through influencer authenticity and influencer trustworthiness in regional cuisine at RM Padang Payakumbuah. The research uses a quantitative approach with data from 182 respondents in the Special Region of Yogyakarta, analysed using PLS-SEM. The results show that attitude and influencer authenticity do not have a significant effect on purchase intention, while subjective norm and perceived behavioural control have a significant effect. Furthermore, influencer trustworthiness strengthens the relationship between perceived behavioural control and purchase intention. These findings emphasise the importance of social recommendations, ease of purchase access, and building trust towards influencers.

The financial performance of MSMEs is the result of a business's success in sustaining itself thru financial management. This research aims to provide information on the impact of financial literacy, payment gateways, and financial inclusion on the financial performance of MSMEs. This investigative activity involves two types of variables: independent variables consisting of financial literacy, payment gateways, and financial inclusion, while the financial performance of MSMEs is the dependent variable. Food and beverage MSMEs under the auspices of Rumah BUMN are the study population, totaling 337. The method for determining the sample size was determined using Slovin's formula, and sampling was conducted using specific criteria, resulting in a sample size of 77 respondents. The data analysis technique involves multiple linear regression analysis. This research activity found that each of the variables used, namely financial literacy, payment gateway, and financial inclusion, has a significant positive impact on the financial performance of MSMEs. The coefficient of determination shows that 91.3% of the variables of financial literacy, payment gateway, and financial inclusion are able to explain the financial performance variable of MSMEs.

Ngabuburit has grown into a cultural tradition that is deeply embedded in Indonesian society during Ramadan, including among the student demographic. This study investigates the relevance of the ngabuburit tradition to the level of consumer economic literacy and the application of Islamic consumption ethics among university students in the city of Bandung. Employing a quantitative descriptive approach, data were gathered through an online questionnaire distributed to students from various universities across Bandung. The analysis aims to determine whether the pre-iftar waiting activity stimulates impulsive purchasing behavior more strongly than awareness of Islamic consumption principles particularly the avoidance of wasteful spending (tabzir) and extravagance (israf). The study also examines several factors shaping students' consumption patterns, including social environment, lifestyle tendencies, and access to food and beverage products throughout Ramadan. The results are expected to shed light on how students behave as consumers within a local cultural framework and to what degree their economic literacy can moderate consumption behaviors that contradict Islamic principles, while providing an evaluative foundation for cultivating more prudent consumption habits.

Food and beverage companies must maintain a robust capital structure to compete effectively amidst the intense pressures of globalization and achieve their strategic objectives. This study aims to examine the impact of profitability, asset structure, company size, and solvency on the capital structure of food and beverage firms listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) and included in the LQ45 index. This study uses an explanatory method with purposive sampling technique, where samples are determined based on companies that have completed financial reports during the research period and are indexed in LQ45. Data analysis was performed using t-tests and F-tests. The results show that profitability (ROA), asset structure, and company size (Ln Total Assets) do not have a significant partial effect on capital structure (DER), meaning that these three factors do not directly influence companies' decisions on the use of debt for financing. However, solvency (DAR) was found to have a significant effect on capital structure, indicating that a company's ability to meet its long-term obligations plays an important role in determining the level of debt used for operational financing. Simultaneously, the four independent variables had a significant effect on capital structure, meaning that all variables together contributed to influencing food and beverage companies' decisions in determining their financing strategies.

This study aims to analyze the influence of Good Corporate Governance (GCG) mechanisms, proxied by the Board of Commissioners and Audit Committee, as well as Environmental Performance on Financial Performance in food and beverage manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX) for the 2020-2023 period. The research method used is quantitative, with a purposive sampling technique that resulted in 22 companies as samples, totaling 88 observations over the four-year study period. The research data is secondary data obtained through financial statements and annual reports from the official IDX website. Literature reviews indicate inconsistencies in previous studies; however, the hypothesis of this research suggests that the Board of Commissioners, Audit Committee, and Environmental Performance have a positive and significant effect on the company's financial performance. The board of commissioners and audit committee play a role in strengthening the oversight function to minimize agency costs and improve efficiency. Meanwhile, good environmental performance, measured through PROPER ratings, is expected to enhance the company's positive image in the eyes of investors and stakeholders. 

This study aims to analyze the contribution and potential of the Lampung Province tourism sector to national economic growth in the 2020-2025 period. Using a quantitative descriptive approach using the Location Quotient (LQ) and Shift Share methods, this study processes secondary data on Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) at constant prices from the Central Statistics Agency. The analysis shows that although Lampung's macroeconomic performance is still dominated by the primary sector, the tourism sector, particularly the accommodation and food and beverage subsector, has demonstrated post-pandemic resilience with a significant positive growth trend. In 2024, the GRDP value of this subsector at the provincial level reached IDR 4,616.76 billion, with strategic areas such as Bandar Lampung City confirming the accommodation sector as a base sector (LQ > 1) with a high competitive advantage. The integration of a creative economy based on local wisdom, such as the use of Tapis cloth and digital marketing, has been proven to increase the attractiveness of destinations, capable of driving the volume of domestic tourist trips to reach 17.87 million trips by 2024. This finding confirms that Lampung's tourism sector is not only a regional economic driver, but also makes a substantial contribution to national income through a multiplier effect on job creation and increasing domestic foreign exchange. Optimizing collaboration between policymakers and accelerating infrastructure development are key to strengthening the strategic position of Lampung tourism in the future.

The results indicate that the board of directors and audit committee do not have a significant effect on financial performance. In contrast, the size of the public accounting firm has a positive effect on financial performance. These findings suggest that the quality and reputation of external auditors play an important role in enhancing corporate financial performance.  

This study analyzes the factors that influence the cost of equity capital in food and beverage manufacturing companies listed on the Indonesia Stock Exchange during the period 2020–2023. The study focuses on information asymmetry, earnings management, voluntary disclosure, and business diversification as determinants of the cost of equity capital. This study is relevant to the dynamics of the financial market after the decline in Bank Indonesia's benchmark interest rate in the 2024–2025 period, which has the potential to change investor preferences and increase attention to the quality and transparency of company information. The study uses a quantitative approach with secondary data obtained from companies' financial statements and annual reports. The sample was determined using purposive sampling and resulted in 177 observations from 46 companies over four years of observation. The cost of equity capital was measured using the Ohlson model, while hypothesis testing was conducted using multiple linear regression analysis. The results show that earnings management and voluntary disclosure have a significant effect on the cost of equity capital. Conversely, information asymmetry and business diversification were not found to have a significant effect. These findings confirm that the quality of financial reporting and the level of information disclosure play an important role in shaping investors' risk perceptions and return expectations.

The increasing competition in the coffee shop industry in Bandung requires businesses to adopt marketing strategies that emphasize long-term relationships with customers. This study aims to analyze the implementation of relationship marketing strategies in building business networks at Groei Coffee, a community-based café located in Sukapura, Bandung Regency. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that relationship marketing at Groei Coffee is implemented through consistent product quality, two-way communication with customers, personalized services, and collaboration with campus communities and strategic partners. These strategies have proven effective in enhancing customer loyalty, expanding business networks, and strengthening the café’s competitive position in the food and beverage industry. However, several challenges were identified, including limited resources, price sensitivity among student customers, and dynamic consumer preferences. Therefore, an adaptive and sustainable approach is required to ensure that relationship marketing strategies provide long-term benefits for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs).

The food and beverage (FnB) industry is one of the main supporting sectors of tourism in Indonesia and has experienced rapid growth along with the increasing number of tourist activities and consumer demand. However, previous studies indicate that Service Quality in the FnB industry remains suboptimal, particularly in aspects related to human resources (HR). Issues such as inconsistent service performance, low responsiveness, and limited employee competence and work attitude are commonly identified. This study aims to systematically examine the role of human resources in Service Quality within the FnB industry and to identify key factors, management strategies, and existing research gaps. This research employed a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) method using the PICOC framework, analyzing 20 national and international journal articles published between 2015 - 2025 and retrieved from Google Scholar. The findings reveal that the most influential HR factors affecting Service Quality include competence, communication skills, work attitude, experience, and employee training. Furthermore, effective human resource management practices demonstrate a positive relationship with improved Service Quality. Nevertheless, the review identifies a lack of comprehensive studies integrating HR management and Service Quality within the specific Context of the Indonesian FnB industry, indicating opportunities for future research.

With financial inclusion acting as a moderator, the goal of this study is to examine how financial technology use and financial literacy impact microbusiness performance. Microbusinesses in Bandar Lampung City's food and beverage industry serve as the research subjects. This study employs a quantitative approach, using questionnaires to collect primary data from microenterprises. Purposeful sampling was used to choose 203 microbusinesses that met the research criteria. SPSS was utilized to analyze the data using multiple linear regression and Moderated Regression Analysis (MRA). The study's conclusions imply that the use of financial technology has an effect on microenterprises' performance. Additionally, it has been shown that financial literacy affects microenterprise performance. The findings show that key components in increasing microbusiness performance are the use of financial technology and the entrepreneur's capacity to supervise and make financial decisions. However, the test results indicate that financial inclusion cannot boost the impact of financial technology and financial expertise on microbusiness performance. This implies that the influence of financial technology and financial knowledge on business success is not necessarily enhanced by having access to financial services. It also shows that a key factor in increasing the success of microbusinesses is the characteristics of the entrepreneur. The research's objectives are to assist important stakeholders in creating plans for microenterprise growth, as well as to assist microenterprise actors in improving their financial literacy and utilizing financial technology to its fullest.

The sampling technique used purposive sampling, resulting in 10 companies with a total of 40 observations. Data analysis was conducted using multiple linear regression utilizing SPSS version 25 software. The results indicate that partially, CR, DAR, and Inventory Turnover each have a significant effect on EPS. Simultaneously, these three independent variables significantly affect EPS with a determination coefficient of 83.7%. The implications of this study emphasize the importance of liquidity management, solvency, and inventory efficiency in improving corporate share profitability.

Halal certification is a primary requirement for Muslims when choosing food. This requirement is stated in Surah Al-Baqarah, verse 168 of the Quran, which commands Muslims to consume food that is halal and wholesome. Halal certification is assessed not only by the ingredients used but also by the entire production process, from processing and raw material use, transportation, to sales and consumption methods. In Indonesia, the development of halal products continues to grow rapidly in line with the large Muslim population. However, public understanding of halal certification, particularly for food and beverage products, remains relatively low. Based on this situation, this study examines the impact of halal certification on the marketing strategies of MSMEs in the food sector. This research seeks to answer two main questions: first, to what extent do MSMEs understand the importance of halal certification? and second, does the existence of halal certification influence consumer purchasing interest? The study used a library method, reviewing a variety of relevant literature, and an empirical approach to obtain data directly from the public.

Kyriad Hotel Arra Cepu is a star-rated hotel located in Blora Regency that plays an important role in supporting tourism activities, business travel, and the development of the local hospitality industry. Despite its strategic position, initial observations and discussions with hotel management revealed several challenges related to service quality, which has not yet fully aligned with current hospitality industry standards. These challenges include limited continuous staff training, inconsistencies between employee competencies and established standard operating procedures, and insufficient professional communication skills. In response, a community service program was developed in the form of competency-based training specifically tailored to the needs of Kyriad Hotel Arra Cepu. The program aims to enhance human resource quality through structured and intensive training aligned with the Indonesian National Work Competency Standards in the hospitality sector, covering Front Office, Housekeeping, Food and Beverage Products, and Food and Beverage Service. The training was implemented using a participatory and hands-on approach supported by ongoing coaching. Training materials included hotel hygiene and sanitation, excellent service practices, telephone operator etiquette, and basic English communication. This program provides direct benefits by improving employee competence, professionalism, and guest satisfaction, while also supporting the implementation of the Tri Dharma of Higher Education and strengthening collaboration between academia and the hotel industry. The expected outcomes include improved staff skills, higher service quality, and a replicable training model for similar hotels.

This community service activity was conducted at Grind Now Coffee Bar, an MSME in Batam City’s food and beverage sector, to address challenges in managing raw material inventory, which often led to inaccurate stock records, shortages, and overstocking, affecting daily operations and efficiency. The program aimed to improve inventory management by applying the Economic Order Quantity (EOQ) and Reorder Point (ROP) models, providing a systematic and measurable approach to procurement. Activities included detailed observation of operational practices, interviews with staff to understand current challenges, collection of data on raw material usage and purchasing patterns, and the implementation of a website-based inventory control system to streamline record-keeping and monitoring. The results showed that EOQ and ROP models helped determine optimal order quantities and appropriate reorder timing, while the inventory system improved organization, reduced errors, and enabled real-time stock monitoring. Overall, this intervention enhanced decision-making, promoted operational efficiency, and supported the sustainability and competitiveness of Grind Now Coffee Bar.

Halal tourism has continued to grow as a highly attractive segment for Muslim travelers, particularly in the provision of Sharia-compliant accommodation such as Islamic hotels. This study aims to examine consumer perceptions of halal food-and-beverage facilities and Sharia-based operational standards in Islamic hotels across the Greater Jakarta area (Jabodetabek). A descriptive quantitative approach was employed, involving 150 respondents who had stayed in Sharia hotels. Data were collected through closed-ended Likert-scale questionnaires and analyzed using the Weighted Mean Score (WMS) technique to evaluate respondents’ assessments of each indicator. The results indicate that consumer perception of halal food-and-beverage facilities falls into the very high category, with average scores exceeding 4.838. Consumers acknowledged that Sharia hotels maintain halal assurance, hygiene, and food safety through proper processing and the availability of halal certification. Regarding operational aspects, consumer perception is also classified as very good, with an average score of 4.606, particularly for policies prohibiting unmarried couples from sharing a room and banning entertainment deemed inappropriate or immoral. However, the use of Sharia-compliant financial institutions still requires improvement. Overall, the findings affirm that Sharia hotels in Jabodetabek have successfully implemented most Sharia principles, although further enhancement of internal operational practices is needed to achieve more comprehensive Sharia compliance.

The development of information technology has driven digital transformation in various sectors, including the food and beverage (F&B) industry. However, many small to medium-scale F&B businesses still rely on manual ordering systems, resulting in long queues, order recording errors, limited menu information, and suboptimal user experience. This study aims to design the user interface (UI) and user experience (UX) of a web-based Smart Ordering System that provides convenience, efficiency, and comfort in the food ordering process. The research method used is the Design Thinking approach, which includes empathize, define, ideate, prototype, and testing stages. The design process involves user needs analysis, user flow development, wireframe creation, and high-fidelity prototype development using Figma. Usability testing is conducted using the Single Ease Question (SEQ) method to evaluate ease of use and user satisfaction. The results indicate that the proposed UI/UX design provides a clear ordering flow, intuitive interface, and easy-to-understand user experience. Based on the SEQ results, most users experienced no difficulty in using the system, indicating that the design meets usability criteria with a very good category and is suitable for implementation in the F&B industry.

In 2024, Indonesia’s food and beverage industry recorded IDR 110.57 trillion in investment and achieved GDP growth above the national average, highlighting its rapid development and importance for the economy. However, this growth does not automatically increase firm value, as internal factors such as solvency, firm growth, and dividend policy may play a crucial role. This study investigates how those factors affect firm value in food and beverage companies listed on IDX during 2021–2024. The research population comprises 84 companies, with purposive sampling resulting in 47 observations from 13 firms over four years. Data were collected from annual reports and analyzed applying multiple linear regression with SPSS 26. The results show that solvency and dividend policy don’t significantly affect firm value, while firm growth has a significant positive impact. Simultaneously, all three variables positively influence firm value with an adjusted R² of 11.8%. The paper enriches the academic discussion by validating the applicability of signaling theory in showing that firm growth acts as a stronger signal compared to solvency or dividend policy in the food and beverage industry, offering useful implications for investors and managers.
