“…Service quality is equally important as food quality (Bujisic et al, 2014) and plays a vital role in building up the perception to re-patronage (Pantelidis, 2010). Regarding the restaurant setting, studies have emphasized that service quality is an imperative determinant of customers' satisfaction (Ivkov et al, 2018) and re-patronage (Weiss et al, 2004). In turbulent market environments, service quality is identified as a decisive element for the success of fast-food restaurants as it has a remarkable impact on consumers' behavior because it induces either satisfaction or dissatisfaction (Wong & Fong, 2010).…”

“…), which is more than 10 times (Goyal et al, 2019). Extant hospitality research has facilitated in getting comprehensive understanding of the factors that lead to of customers' satisfaction with hotels/cafeterias/restaurants (Ivkov et al, 2018). In some of these studies, researchers have focused extensively on the customers' dining behavior, because food is a vital element to comprehend one's society or culture (Goyal et al, 2019;Konuk, 2019;Ryu & Han, 2010;Zhang et al, 2019), while other researchers have been interested in identifying the important service dimensions of restaurant, which include menu, cleanliness, style, price, ambience, location (Prendergast & Man, 2002), chef, service staff, and atmosphere (Emir, 2016).…”
We strived to examine the combined effects of drivers and consequences of customers’ satisfaction particularly in quick-meal restaurants besides examining the interaction effect of social trust on the association between customers’ satisfaction and brand loyalty. Offline survey was conducted to approach the respondents of fast-food visitors. The valid data were assessed and analyzed through structural equation modeling and moderation step-by-step approach. The findings demonstrate that restaurant stimuli—food, service, atmosphere, location, price, and a variety of food—have robust effects on customers’ satisfaction and eventually on brand loyalty. Social trust has rigorous effect on the association between customers’ satisfaction and brand loyalty. Customers with high social trust have a positive strong bonding with restaurants than those holding low social trust. Theoretical and practical implications have been deliberated and offer some valuable recommendations along for future scholars.

“…Due to the challenges in the foodservice industry, café operators need to investigate new ways of establishing and maintaining competitive advantage over rivals (Ivkov, Blešić, Simat, Demirović, & Božić, 2016;Sabir, Irfan, Akhtar, Pervez, & Rehman, 2014;Wade, Holmes, & Gibbs, 2017). Meanwhile, to achieve these targets, these cafés not only compete with existing competitors in the market but also new competitors.…”
The purpose of this research was to determine the effects of store atmosphere and perceived value on customer satisfaction and its impact on behavioral intention on the millennial segment. This type of research was a quantitative method using associative research approach and Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) methods measured by Smart-PLS 3.0. The distribution of questionnaires was a non-probability with simple random sampling. The survey was conducted to 200 college students between the ages of 17 and 30 at a café in a shopping mall in Jakarta in 3 months (December 2017 until February 2018). The result shows that the store atmosphere can be used to generate perceived value, customer satisfaction, and behavioral intention. However, store atmosphere is confirmed to be the main behavioral intention predictor directly and indirectly.
“…So, marketing managers must match the cost of new products or services to the perception of their customers and the quality they are going to provide. If customers found the product or service overpriced than their perceived price, then they might switch to other brands offering the same features (Ivkov et al, 2018). Service quality, customer satisfaction and perceived price are essential factors that lead to customer loyalty (Cha and Borchgrevink, 2018;Satti et al,2019).…”
