Hotel is one of type accommodations that used part or all of the buildings to serve as lodging services in which to provide food and beverage services as well as other commercially managed support service (Sambodo & Bagyono, 2006). One of the accommodations located in the south is The Mulia, Mulia Resort and Mulia Villas is a five-star hotel located in the Nusa Dua area has 4 main restaurant such as, The Café (International Restaurant), Soleil (Mediterranean and Pan Asian Restaurant), Edogin (Japanese Restaurant), and Table8 (Chinese Restaurant) , file:///D:/MBP/OJS/JASTH/JURNAL/JURNAL/2020/MARET/622-8319 Journal of Applied Sciences in Travel and Hospitality ISSN: 2622-8319, vol. 3, no. 1, 2020, pp. 22-29 23 Restaurant in The Mulia, Mulia Resort and Mulia Villas has their own Department called Food and Beverage Department that divided to be Food and Beverage Service Department and Food and Beverage Product Department. Table8 Chinese Restaurant staff is a part of Food and Beverage Service department, where the staff usually referred to as the image of Table8 Chinese Restaurant because it faces and provides direct services to guests who come and visit Restaurant. Guest experience in a hotel is shaped by the performance of all departments in the hotel, and quality service will ensure guest satisfaction, thus creating repeat customers (Sambodo and Bagyono, 2006; Normasari and Kumaji; 2013). It is vital for Restaurant staff to meet the needs and desires of customers and provide quality service to create customer satisfaction and loyalty. Quality of service is the best service provided to the guests by optimizing the entire service. Good service quality is the responsibility of the business that must be given to every guest or customer. The delivery of good service quality will bring short and long term benefits to restaurant and incurred customers of guest loyalty in return. Customer satisfaction is the priority of most hospitality industry, as well as for Table8 Chinese Restaurant. In order to achieve on of restaurant goals, it has to provide excellent services as the customer satisfaction becoming the priority of the Restaurant. However, they are still unsatisfied guests to some points of the restaurant. Referring to the problems and the important of the study, then it is important to conduct a research related to the analysis of Table8 Chinese Restaurant. This study is aim to know about service quality at the restaurant. According to Booms and Bateson (1992:509) as cited in Budi (2013:48), Service quality is a measure of how well the service level delivered matches customer expectations. Service quality has been considered as a superior construct and the determinant factor for customer satisfaction. Perera and Vlosky (2013) as cited in Ismail (2016:400) indicated that service quality is an important antecedent of tourist satisfaction. The Most often instrument used for measuring perceived quality of service in the marketing literature is from SERVQUAL (Parasuraman 1998). It consist of five service dimension which are tangible (physical facilities, equipment, and appearance of personnel), reliability (ability to perform the promised service dependably and accurately), responsiveness (willingness to help customers and provide prompt service), assurance (knowledge and courtesy of employees and their ability to inspire trust and confidence), and empathy (caring, individualized attention the firm provides its customers). The SERVQUAL model, also known as the Gap Analysis Model, is closely related to the customer satisfaction model based on the approach/model of disconfirmation (Oliver, 1997 as cited in Tjiptono and Chandra, 2016:146). This approach/model asserts that when the performance of an attribute increases or more than the expectations of the attribute, then file:///D:/MBP/OJS/JASTH/JURNAL/JURNAL/2020/MARET/622-8319 Journal of Applied Sciences in Travel and Hospitality ISSN: 2622-8319, vol. 3, no. 1, 2020, pp. 22-29 24 the perception of service quality will be positive and vice versa (in Tjiptono and Chandra, 2016:149). RESEARCH METHOD The location of this research is at Table8 Chinese Restaurant in The Mulia, Mulia Resort and Mulia Villas Nusa Dua- Bali. The object in this research variable is related to the Restaurant staff service quality of Table8 Chinese Restaurant in The Mulia, Mulia Resort and Mulia Villas for customer satisfaction. On this research, to measure the restaurant staff service quality, then the guest expectation and the guest perception will be asked as on the questionnaire. This research uses qualitative and quantitative data. The source of this research is primary data which is obtained from questionnaire using the Likert scale, ranging from 1 (for strongly disagree) to 5 (for strongly agree), and secondary data which is obtained from the internet. The population of this research is the guest who have visited Table8 Chinese restaurant. The method of sampling applied on this research is incidental sampling. According Sugiyono (2015:156) incidental sampling is taking respondent as a sample by chance, it is anyone who by chance meet with the researcher can be used as a sample if the person who happens to be found suitable as a data source. In the determination of the number of samples, this research will use the theory of Malhotra (2005: 30) as cited in Christiawan (2017: 34) that suggested the number of respondents is at least 4 or 5 times the number of indicators used in the study. Thus, the number of respondent that will be asked to conduct in this study is 5 x 12 indicators = 60 respondents. The respondents are only the guests who have dine at Table8 Chinese Restaurant and have experienced the service quality indicators mentioned on the questionnaire. This research deploys some kinds of data analysis technique used. The instrument (questionnaire) validity and reliability test are conducted by involving the first 30 respondents. After finding its validity and reliability, more questionnaires will be distributed. The data collected from the questionnaire will be analyzed using SERVQUAL method. According to Zeithaml, et al., (1990) as cited in Tjiptono and Chandra (2016: 159), the SERVQUAL method analyzes gap between 2 variables, it is the expected service and perceived service, and the SERVQUAL score can be calculated using bellow formula (Tjiptono, 2012): 𝑆𝐸𝑅𝑉𝑄𝑈𝐴𝐿 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 = 𝑃𝑒𝑟𝑐𝑒𝑝𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 − 𝐸𝑥𝑝𝑒𝑐𝑡𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝑆𝑐𝑜𝑟𝑒 The SERVQUAL model is based on the assumption that consumers compare service performance on relevant attributes with ideal / perfect standards for each service attribute. file:///D:/MBP/OJS/JASTH/JURNAL/JURNAL/2020/MARET/622-8319 Journal of Applied Sciences in Travel and Hospitality ISSN: 2622-8319, vol. 3, no. 1, 2020, pp. 22-29 25 When performance matches or exceeds standards, then the perception of overall service quality will be positive and vice versa (in Tjiptono and Chandra, 2016: 159). In principle, the data obtained through the SERVQUAL instrument can be used to calculate the service quality gap scores at various levels in detail: Item-by-item analysis; Dimension-by-dimension analysis, and; Single measurement calculation or the SERVQUAL gap (in Tjiptono and Chandra, 2016: 159). Consumers compare perceived services with expected services. Consumers will be disappointed if the perceived service is below the expected service, and vice versa (in Putra and Yasa, 2015: 92). RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Instrument’s Validity and Reliability The instrument’s validity and reliability are tested using SPSS (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences) version 21.00. The data analysis shows that the value of r-count of all the 12 items of the instruments (both for “Expectation” and “Perception” instrument) is >0.361 (the r-table value for a minimum 30 respondents) which means the instrument is valid (Ghozali, 2005: 45) as cited in Anugraha (2015: 28). The Cronbach’s Alpha is 0.644 (for the “Expectation” instrument), and 0.676 (for the “Perception” instrument) which means the instrument is reliable as the value of Cronbach’s Alpha is higher than 0.600 (Malhotra, 2006: 274) as cited in in Anugraha (2015: 28). Respondent’s Profile Most of the respondents are Indonesian citizen (33%) means that Table8 Chinese Restaurant food and service is very match with Indonesian people and as the hotel is dominated by Indonesian guests (Sales and Marketing Department of The Mulia, Mulia Resort and Mulia Villas Nusa Dua - Bali, 2018).

It is interesting to observe that, attribute X1.1, namely the statement of the location of the restaurant that is strategic and easily accessible by customers. The score difference is -0.27. This difference occurs because of the location of the restaurant located inside the hotel so that guests find it difficult to find outside the hotel.

This is what causes a negative gap in this attribute. Table 1.
