This article examines the theoretical and methodological foundations for assessing economic efficiency in the service sector within the context of the contemporary economic transformation. Particular attention is paid to the specific operational characteristics of the service sector and its role in fostering sustainable economic growth, increasing employment levels, and improving the population's quality of life. The study explores approaches to defining criteria and indicators for the efficiency of service enterprises and substantiates the need for a comprehensive system of indicators that accounts for both economic and social outcomes.
