Consumer choice and segmentation in the restaurant industry
Article Abstract:
A study on consumers' perceptions of restaurants is discussed. Results of the study show that the type and quality of the food served are the factors most frequently cited by customers when they choose to dine in restaurants. The occasion is also important for restaurant customers. Age is another underlying factor because there are restaurants that appeal to certain age groups. However, a restaurant's style is the ultimate determining factor for customers in their choice between restaurants. The findings show that determinant analysis could be used in the assessment of service industries.
