Abstract

From 2020 to 2021, many KFC outlets are going into liquidation, because the companyhas suffered losses to the point where they cannot pay their obligations. Apart from the impact of the pandemic, the increasing number of competitors in the fast-food sector is also the cause of the decline in KFC's business. To survive, KFC must have service performance that can increase customer satisfaction, so that customers continue to choose KFC as a place to fulfill their desires. KFC in Sungai Dua, Gelugor,  Penang is the subject of this investigation. In conclusion, this study aims to examine customer satisfaction, happiness towards ambiance of perceived price, food quality, service quality, and physical environment quality, also to examine related services designed to meet customer needs. The atmosphere of the facilities, quality of service, quality of food, are important efforts to meet all the needs and desires of consumers and meet consumer expectations so that their business can continue to run and survive among its competitors. For KFC companies, we can find out the problems they have by using a survey method through questionnaires distributed to KFC customers which contain their satisfaction with service performance at KFC and what are the shortcomings that need to be improved from the services provided.

Abstract

The COVID-19 pandemic, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus, triggered significant global disruptions, leading to widespread restrictions aimed at controlling the virus's spread. These restrictions prompted businesses to rapidly adapt, with a strong focus on digitalization, to meet evolving consumer demands. This study examined the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on customer satisfaction and business performance in Malaysia. Data were collected from 150 customers and business owners through surveys and observational methods. The findings revealed that perceived usefulness and business reaction were highly significant factors influencing customer satisfaction and business performance. Additionally, perceived overall performance played a crucial role in how businesses navigated the pandemic. However, perceived satisfaction was not a significant predictor, suggesting that while businesses successfully adapted, these changes did not necessarily lead to higher customer satisfaction. The study underscores the importance of agile and customer-centric strategies, emphasizing that businesses must continue to evolve their operational approaches to survive and thrive in an increasingly uncertain environment.

Abstract

The rise of digital platforms has fundamentally transformed consumer behavior, especially among Generation Z (Gen Z), a cohort deeply immersed in the digital age. This study aims to investigate the factors influencing Gen Z's trust in online shopping by examining the relationships between convenience, ease of comparison, product variety, pricing and discounts, security, and environmental concerns. A quantitative method was employed, gathering data from 250 Gen Z participants, with IBM SPSS used to test the proposed hypotheses. The results reveal that pricing and discounts, security, and environmental factors significantly impact Gen Z’s trust in online shopping, while convenience, ease of comparison, and product variety show no significant influence. This research contributes to the understanding of Gen Z's online behavior, highlighting the growing importance of sustainability and secure transactions in fostering trust. The findings offer practical insights for businesses aiming to build stronger relationships with Gen Z, emphasizing the need to focus on ethical practices, competitive pricing, and enhanced security. These insights have implications for both marketers and policymakers in the evolving e-commerce landscape.

Abstract

Customer satisfaction is a critical determinant of competitiveness in the fast-food industry, even for global leaders like McDonald’s, which is widely recognized for efficiency, consistency, and strong branding. Despite its success, adapting to evolving customer expectations remains essential. This study aims to evaluate the factors influencing customer satisfaction at McDonald’s in Malaysia, focusing on food quality, service quality, pricing and value, product variety, and service method. A quantitative survey was conducted with 100 respondents using structured questionnaires. The findings indicate that customer satisfaction is most strongly influenced by service method (? = 0.449) and product variety (? = 0.279), while food quality, service quality, and pricing and value showed weaker effects and did not significantly predict satisfaction. The overall model explained 49% of the variance in customer satisfaction (R² = 0.492). These results highlight that customers place the greatest emphasis on convenience, efficiency, and diverse menu options. McDonald’s should therefore prioritize enhancing service delivery across dine-in, drive-thru, and self-service kiosks, while maintaining food quality and competitive pricing as baseline expectations. Overall, this study provides practical insights for improving customer satisfaction and offers strategic implications for fast-food chains in highly competitive markets
