Abstract

This study investigates the impact of food quality on customer satisfaction at KFC, focusing on key factors such as taste, packaging or presentation, and freshness. The primary objective is to analyze how these factors influence customer satisfaction and loyalty among KFC customers in Malaysia, India, and Indonesia. Data were collected through an online survey using Google Forms, targeting 150 KFC customers across the three countries. Respondents rated their experiences on a 5-point Likert scale, with the survey distributed via social media platforms like WhatsApp, Telegram, and Instagram. The results reveal that taste and customer loyalty significantly influence customer satisfaction, with taste having a ? value of 0.262 and loyalty showing the strongest effect with a ? value of 0.537. In contrast, packaging and freshness did not show a significant impact on satisfaction. The R² value of 0.637 indicates that 63.7% of customer satisfaction can be explained by these factors. In conclusion, the findings highlight the critical role of taste and loyalty in driving satisfaction at KFC, with implications for focusing on food quality and customer relationship strategies to enhance satisfaction and customer retention.

Abstract

Generally, food delivery services like GrabFood act as couriers, transporting consumer needs from restaurants or stores directly to their doorsteps. The rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has further revolutionized this convenience, allowing people to order meals and other goods from the comfort of their homes. This research investigates how AI is utilized to influence customer purchase intentions on GrabFood. The study examines the impact of six independent variables: instant food delivery, estimated delivery time, customized food recommendations, interactivity, cashless payment methods, and consumer behavior. These variables are analyzed in relation to the dependent variable – the customer's intention to use GrabFood. To gather data, an online survey was conducted with 100 respondents. The collected data was then verified using SPSS software. The findings revealed that delivery speed is a key driver, with both instant delivery and estimated delivery time showing a significant positive correlation (? = 0.457) with purchase intention. However, other features like personalized recommendations (? = 0.174), cashless payment methods (? = 0.119), and user interaction (? = -0.188) did not significantly impact user decisions. These findings require further exploration to understand user preferences for these features.

Abstract

Customer satisfaction is crucial to the success of any business. It has been studied in business and marketing since the 1970s. When customers are satisfied, brand loyalty is immediately involved. As a result, brand loyalty has received much attention in recent decades. McDonald's is the world's leading fast-service restaurant, with over 36,000 outlets worldwide and over 70 million customers served daily in more than 100 countries. Every month, McDonald's serves approximately 13.5 million customers in over 320 stores in Malaysia. The company's performance is strongly related to its high brand loyalty and customer satisfaction. This paper examines how customer satisfaction, brand trust and loyalty may influence McDonald's purchase intention in Malaysia. We applied SPSS to test hypotheses, and 150 McDonald's customers engaged in a Google form- based online survey. The findings reveal that customer satisfaction, brand trust and loyalty influence McDonald's customers purchasing intentions. Recommendations and implications were discussed.
