Synopsis

Abstract Humanity's journey with forbidden foods has been going on since the beginning of humanity. Although these prohibitions were sometimes imposed by rulers, religious prohibitions generally played a weight. People who have religious or moral eating and drinking patterns should consume food in the way they desire without being deceived and secured.  A total of 21 hotel enterprises and kitchen managers of each enterprise participated in our study. With this study, a logo design has been created to better know and understand the contents of the foods consumed in restaurants or hotels. The created logos will be used in the menus and have been created with the help of who are expert academicians in order to understand the content of the foods and who can consume them in the fastest way. The logos were presented to the chefs of luxury hotels where customer satisfaction is at the highest level and often received positive feedback from kitchen managers. In addition, the study includes the knowledge levels of luxury hotel kitchen managers about halal, kosher and vegan foods, recommendations about the use of halal, kosher and vegan foods in enterprises, etc.  The majority of kitchen managers have also stated that they attach importance to concepts such as halal, kosher and vegan food in their kitchens and that they can be offered to customers upon request.
