Abstract

PT Local faces challenges as its heavy reliance on marketplaces begins to limit the company's ability to manage profit margins, access customer data, and build long-term relationships with its own consumers. This situation creates a need to re-evaluate its growth strategy and consider a shift towards a Direct-to-Consumer (D2C) model as an effort to strengthen business autonomy and sustainability. This study aims to explore this transition process by examining the company's internal dynamics and customer responses to the change in sales channels. A qualitative approach was employed through interviews with the internal team, customer surveys, and financial data analysis, supported by the use of the SWOT, TOWS, Porter’s Five Forces, and Resource-Based View (RBV) frameworks to comprehensively understand the company's strategic position. The findings identify five key steps: maintaining marketplaces as an acquisition channel while migrating repeat customers to D2C platforms; enhancing the quality of the D2C experience through more intuitive interface design, faster payment processing, responsive customer service, and reliable delivery; leveraging customer data to build a cross-brand loyalty ecosystem; refining operational and financial system integration; and establishing a cross-functional committee to ensure consistent strategy execution. This study concludes that the transition to D2C is not intended to abandon marketplaces entirely, but rather to reduce dependency by strengthening customer relationships and improving long-term profit stability.

Abstract

As competition between restaurants getting fiercer, restaurant owners need to be able to differentiate themselves with other restaurants to attract and retain more customers. Offering ethnic-themed foods and ambiance is regarded as one of strategy to differentiate between one restaurant and the others. At the heart of this strategy, restaurant owners are encouraged to offer authentic and distinct dining experience so that people are attracted and willing to revisit the restaurant. Customers perceive dining experience by recognizing the clues exposed during service delivery process or what usually called as service clues. This paper aims to explore how customers perceive about service clues and how it affects their dining experience at an ethnic-themed restaurant. This paper uses a qualitative approach and proposes an enhanced service blueprint to obtain deeper understanding about customer dining experience. The findings show the role of service clue in shaping up customer experience in an ethnic-themed restaurant. Each clue contributes differently in building customer dining experience.

Abstract

Peer-to-peer economy is characterised by asymmetric information, economy risks, and social uncertainty that may be arisen in unpredictable time. In hospitality industries, peer-to-peer accommodation allows people to rent unoccupied room or properties to stranger (i.e with the introduction of AirBnB etc). In studying the customer perception, drama theory provides a powerful framework for understanding role of emotion in an interaction. A dilemma analysis is an essential feature of drama theory approach and is described here. This paper provides further application of drama theory II, and reviews host-guest interaction by analysing dilemmas in pre-booking stage with the case if AirBnB. The conclusion is that drama theory is applicable to recognise dilemmas in host-guest interaction in peer-to-peer accommodation.
