competition. To survive, fast food restaurant needs to follow their market-oriented strategy that

focuses on enhancing customer satisfaction and purchasing intention. Fast food restaurants
tz

have to learn and change their menus to enhance customer satisfaction.

Service quality is “the delivery of excellent or superior service relative to customer

expectation” (Zeithaml and Bitner 1996, p.117). There are two dimensions of service quality:

relates to how to provide a meal (Polyorat and Sophonsiri, 2010). In restaurant industry, there

SERVQUAL has been widely used by service quality researchers for some considerable

competing in a service environment, especially where a high level of competition is evident

Beside the five components, the way of employee in restaurant faced with their failure of
p

their mistake is very important. How employer explain, apologize, solve mistake with make
do
customer happy or unhappy with the restaurant. Qin and Prybutok (2007) show the necessary
w

of recovery and put one more dimension in service quality is recovery. Most customers can
ad

accept that service is not flawless and mistakes are tolerated if they believe that the restaurant is

Failure itself does not necessarily lead to customer dissatisfaction; however, failure to

an

handle recoveries effectively can lead to lost customers and negative word of mouth (Heskett et
al.,; McColl et al., 2005). Moreover, the complete resolution of critical service failure can even

Food quality is viewed related to satisfaction within fast food restaurants (Kivela et al.,

1999; Law et al., 2004, Johns and Howard, 1998). Food quality is a necessary condition to

satisfy the needs and expectation of customers. Suled and Hensley (2004) investigate that food

quality appeared to be the most significant predictor of customer satisfaction although food

l.c
one variable, food quality.

Food quality is one of the key constructs in the model for the restaurant experience

presentation, variety, healthy options, taste, freshness, temperature (Namkung and Jang, 2007).
