However, the success of gastronomic tourism development is highly dependent on the competence of culinary entrepreneurs in managing their businesses sustainably. This study aims to identify and integrate sustainable culinary business practices with the development of gastronomic tourism through the formulation of a sustainable business strategy competency framework for culinary entrepreneurs in Madura. The research method used was a quantitative study with a survey method, distributing questionnaires to culinary entrepreneurs with a sample of 248 respondents spread across four districts on Madura Island, namely Bangkalan, Sampang, Pamekasan, and Sumenep districts. The results showed that the competence of culinary entrepreneurs had a small level of influence on consumer satisfaction and business sustainability, but consumer satisfaction had a large level of influence on culinary business sustainability. Therefore, the logic model strategy found in this study was very helpful in developing the competence of culinary entrepreneurs. The integration of competencies in the logic model strategy has been proven to support business practices that are not only economically profitable but also strengthen cultural identity and preserve the environment. These findings contribute theoretically and practically to the formulation of sustainable gastronomic tourism development strategies and offer a competency framework that can be used as a reference for training and capacity building for culinary entrepreneurs on Madura Island.
