Abstract

Subway has established itself as one of the leading fast-food chains in Malaysia by offering customizable sandwiches and promoting a fresh, healthy image. However, customer satisfaction in the fast-food sector is shaped by multiple factors, including price, product quality, promotional effectiveness, and perceived convenience, all of which determine customer loyalty and competitiveness. This study aims to investigate how these factors influence satisfaction with Subway in Malaysia. Data were collected from 110 respondents through an online survey distributed via Google Forms and analyzed using SPSS regression analysis. The results demonstrate that perceived convenience (? = 0.459, p 0.001) and price (? = 0.218, p 0.05) significantly enhance customer satisfaction, jointly explaining 49.9% of the variance (R² = 0.499). In contrast, product (? = 0.099, p 0.05) and promotion (? = 0.043, p 0.05) showed no significant effect, indicating that customers may treat them as standard expectations rather than decisive factors. These findings suggest that Subway should prioritize improving convenience through efficient service channels and digital solutions while maintaining competitive pricing strategies. Innovations in product and promotion remain important to sustain differentiation and strengthen long-term customer loyalty

Abstract

In the highly competitive airline industry, budget carriers must focus on customer satisfaction as a critical strategy to sustain loyalty and differentiation. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing customer satisfaction with AirAsia in Malaysia, specifically examining the roles of price, service quality, food service, assurance, and empathy. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data collected from AirAsia passengers, and regression analysis was conducted to assess the influence of these variables. The results reveal that empathy, assurance, and food service significantly affect customer satisfaction, with empathy emerging as the strongest predictor (? = 0.480, p 0.01). Assurance also demonstrated a positive influence (? = 0.203, p 0.05), followed by food service (? = 0.178, p 0.1). Together, these variables explained 66.1% of the variance in customer satisfaction (R² = 0.661). In contrast, price (? = 0.059) and service quality (? = 0.069) showed no significant impact. These findings underscore the importance of prioritizing empathetic service, trust-building, and food quality enhancements over pricing strategies alone. The study provides both theoretical insights into customer satisfaction determinants in low-cost aviation and practical guidance for airlines seeking to strengthen customer experiences and maintain competitiveness.
