Abstract

This article analyses fuzzy and crisp set qualitative comparative analyses (QCA) as an original method to model culinary tourism success and a number of entrepreneurial attributes of human capital and contingency factors. Human capital factors were general business training, specific training in food and drink hospitality, and previous experience as a business owner. Contingency factors were size of business (number of employees), restaurant location, and gender of the business owner. Restaurant success was measured by whether these restaurants had waiting lists.
