<![CDATA[Service lead time plays an important role in shaping consumer perception of overall service quality. If the service wait time is perceived as long, consumers will get bored and leave, but if it is perceived as quick, they will be happy and make a purchase again. This study aims to determine the index of consumer perception of service waiting time and the scores for each indicator in univariate analysis. The research was conducted at the Gacoan Noodle Restaurant in Cirebon City for three months (December 2025-February 2026). The research design uses quantitative descriptive and survey techniques. The sample consisted of 60 respondents, and the sampling technique was accidental. The indicator measurement uses the Likert Scale, and the data analysis is univariate, using a mathematical formula. The results showed that the consumer perception index was 69.7% (service waiting time is fast).
