<![CDATA[This study examines the influence of culture, pricing strategies, and color on consumer preferences for fast food among Hisana Fried Chicken consumers in Makassar. The research design is quantitative, with a causal-associative approach. Data were collected by distributing questionnaires to consumers, using a Likert scale, and were processed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) in SmartPLS version 4.0. The results showed that culture had a positive but insignificant effect on consumer preferences. Conversely, pricing strategies and the role of color partially have a positive, significant impact on consumer preferences in fast-food purchases. These findings confirm that pricing strategies and visual elements, such as color, play an essential role in shaping consumer purchasing decisions. This study provides a theoretical contribution to consumer behavior research by applying the Stimulus-Organism-Response (S-O-R) theory, and a practical contribution to fast-food restaurant management by formulating more effective marketing strategies based on price and visual design to increase customer preference and loyalty.]]>
