Restaurant research has received significant attention globally. This article aims to examine the evolution and the knowledge structure of restaurant research over the past decades. We also investigate the restaurant research hotspots and knowledge diffusion paths based on 1489 articles extracted from the Web of Science database. Furthermore, we conduct a keyword co-occurrence network analysis and four different types of main path analyses to scrutinize the historical formation of the restaurant research. Results revealed that restaurant research mainly focused on five research themes: consumer behavior, consumer satisfaction, social media, green restaurants, and authenticity. While consumer behavior has been the mainstream topic, the focus of this line of research has recently shifted from traditional to luxury and ethnic restaurants. Furthermore, our analysis has detected several recent changes in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. By examining the knowledge structure of restaurant research, we reveal its knowledge diffusion paths and provide avenues for future research in this vast and interdisciplinary research field.

“…Thus, the key-route main path analysis is used starting from the links with the highest SPCs. Then, the path is determined by moving forward till reaching a sink and moving backward till reaching a source (Liu and Lu 2012 ; Rejeb et al 2022a , b , c ). Figure 6 presents the key-route 2 main paths for our example.…”

“…Academics have called for changes to the conventional FSC paradigm for several reasons. For instance, it is estimated that in the near future there will be 9.7 billion mouths to feed, up from the 7.8 billion nowadays [33]. This massive growth must be considered at every level of the food chain.…”

Recently, the food supply chain (FSC) has been severely disrupted due to the COVID-19 pandemic, putting the vital flow of food products from farmers and producers to the ultimate consumers at risk. Furthermore, due to the pandemic, several food organizations have been prompted to rethink their strategies for the future. Although the literature on FSC research in the COVID-19 era is increasing, no attempt has been made to summarize this stream of research using bibliometric techniques. This paper fills this knowledge gap and looks at the current scholarly discourse around the FSC and COVID-19. Applying bibliometric techniques, 287 journal articles were extracted from Scopus and analyzed to determine the temporal evolution of FSC research, the most productive journals, researchers, countries, and the most relevant keywords and publications. To construct a keyword co-occurrence network and categorize the relevant literature, we used the computer program VOSviewer. The findings demonstrate the rapid expansion of FSC research during the COVID-19 pandemic. In addition, the top authors, publications, and nations for scientific output were also determined. Keyword co-occurrence network and detailed qualitative analysis both illustrate that FSC research revolves around six main themes: the impact of COVID-19 on the FSC and agriculture, FSC resilience, food waste and insecurity, fisheries and aquaculture, blockchain technology, and governance and innovation. This study represents the first effort to map worldwide FSC research in the COVID-19 era and draw on a comprehensive collection of journal articles and bibliometric approaches. It offers academics, practitioners, and decision-makers a snapshot of the state of the art in the FSC field and points to where further research is needed.

With the annual growth of agricultural products， which has greatly met People’s daily needs. It is of great practical significance to introduce the low-carbon concept into the retail and cold chain logistics of agricultural products. However, few studies have designed the coupling relationship between the new retail of agricultural products and the development of cold chain distribution. In this context, this work uses principal component analysis (PCA) to extract the common core factors that affect the operational benefits of cold chain low-carbon distribution and the consumer experience of new agricultural retail. Then, the coupling linkage model of cold chain low-carbon distribution and new retail of agricultural products was constructed by using grey correlation analysis. Finally, a new retail and agricultural products cold chain coupling mechanism under low-carbon distribution is designed. The work is helpful to improve the new downstream supply chain retail enterprise management ability of agricultural products, promote cold-chain distribution business benefit and business value, and also helps to promote the implementation of the strategy of rejuvenating and promote the country. This study is conducive to improving the downstream supply chain management ability of new agricultural retail enterprises, enhancing the cold chain distribution business efficiency and business value, and ultimately promoting the implementation of a rural revitalization strategy.
