本研究以餐飲業的創業者作為研究範疇，探討中小型餐館創業者所應具備的專業能力，以因應創業教育及整體企業環境所需。研究的方法主要以職業能力分析法（Occupational Competency Analysis Profiles; 簡稱OCAPs）為主。此外，為提高專家取向的廣度，研究方法並輔以「餐廳現場觀察」與「餐廳創業者訪談」，使研究資料得以相互印證而更臻完整。研究的結果發現，在現場觀察的部份，餐館創業者分階段有不同的工作項目。第一階段為規劃期；第二階段為發包期；第三階段為監工期；第四階段為驗收期；第五階段則為正式開幕。另外，由DACUM會議發展出職責7大項，包含：創業計畫、現場營運管理、財務管理、行銷管理、經營策略、人事管理、危機管理；從以上職責衍生出任務64項；能力項目84項。專業能力技能的部份包含：決策分析、人際網絡與應變能力、餐飲專業與技能研發、庶務管理、人際溝通能力。經專家審核職責及任務後，並發放問卷，讓創業者填答其歸屬，於回收的292份問卷中，發現64項屬必備職責任務，以及84項必備專業知能皆被列在必備的項目。依據上述之研究調查結果，本研究對餐館業創業者、餐飲業、學校相關科系及職訓單位提出建議，並針對未來可研究的方向作一建議。
