    (Instituto de Tecnologías Sudamericano, 2019) José Marcelo Saquichagua Plaza
    The main objective of this degree work is to propose two vegetarian menus with high protein products from Ecuador, destined for the Kasa restaurant of the Kuna hotel, which encounters a problem due to the lack of variety in vegetarian menus, so Because of the inconvenience to guests, it was also possible to observe the lack of knowledge on the part of the kitchen staff about vegetarian products that have a high protein level that is produced in Ecuador. To demonstrate the problem, a visit was made to the Kasa restaurant located in Luis Cordero and Av. De las Américas streets, where a field observation was conducted and an interview with the general manager, Ing. Oswaldo Banegas, the supervisor of the Hotel and kitchen staff. With the data obtained through the aforementioned techniques, a planned proposal could be developed. This proposal is consistent with the different research approaches used both qualitative and quantitative, that is, mixed. In the qualitative method it was based on observation and interviews for data collection; With the quantitative method, it was used to obtain statistics and variables that derive from the previous method, obtaining the desired results for the development of the research. The different research methods used, such as the field, were developed on the site, that is, in the Kasa restaurant of the Kuna hotel, to observe the different needs. The bibliographic method was based on different books, articles, magazines and websites for the collection of necessary information regarding foods with high protein content. Finally, the laboratory or experimental method was used where it was developed in the gastronomy laboratory for the standardization of the recipes set forth in the proposal made.
