<td>Literature review</td>
<td><ul>
<li><p>Comprise mainly information on leanness assessment.</p></li>
<li><p>Inadequate information on fuzzy logic.</p></li>
<li><p>There is no proper flow and connection between leanness assessment and the need to use fuzzy logic in the study. In other words, the gap of the research is unclear.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Suggestions:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>Create subsections separating the distinct topics of literature; one for fuzzy sets and fuzzy logic, one for leanness assessment.</p></li>
<li><p>Include previous research on choosing/ranking restaurants service quality factors and link with the need of the use of fuzzy logic in the study.</p></li>
