Abstract

The study purpose was to analyze the role of Rumah Makan Uda Nasrul in improving the welfare of its employees in Kelurahan Mendahara Ilir, Kecamatan Mendahara, Kabupaten Tanjung Jabung Timur.

The focus is on income stability, working environment, and the indirect social benefits gained by the employees.

Primary data were gathered from in-depth interviews with employees and the business owner, while secondary data included relevant documents and local employment statistics. The analysis used interactive techniques involving data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing. The selection of Rumah Makan Uda Nasrul as the research site was based on its consistent employment of local labor and its established reputation within the community.
