Abstract
Literatures on food safety have widely accepted that one of the reasons leading to food poisoning cases is the mishandling of foods to proper storage and temperature. The said problems require appropriate kitchen equipment to ensure the abuse is kept at bay. In order to probe into the food handlers’ intention to use the equipment, this paper proposes an adapted Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to answer this query. The related constructs for independent variables include perceived usefulness, perceived ease of use, and willingness to invest. Questionnaires will be distributed among school canteen food handlers using established TAM items that will be modified to suit the setting of the study. The results of this study will indicate the intention to adopt the kitchen equipment among school canteen food handlers.
