Introduction:
Food quality seems to be accepted as a fundamental component to satisfy restaurant customers; however, it has been often overlooked in restaurant service quality and satisfaction studies. The primary objective of this study was to investigate how food quality is perceived in relation to satisfaction and behavioral intentions in fri chiks. This study also attempted to identify which attributes among food-related qualities are critical in improving satisfaction and heightening revisit intention. With a structural equation modeling technique, this study shows that overall food quality significantly affects customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions and also revealed that the relationship between food quality and customer behavioral intentions is mediated by satisfaction. Subsequent regression analyses demonstrated that taste and presentation were the two greatest contributors to customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Thus, managers should pay attention to the key food quality attributes that elicit customer satisfaction and enhance return visits in the restaurant business.

food quality satisfaction behavioral intentions

A thorough understanding of the components of foodservice satisfaction is essential to promote the health and nutritional status of consumers. Assessment of consumer satisfaction with the foodservice is an essential component of dietetic quality management processes. If the food and service does not suit consumer tastes, consumption declines and the risk of malnutrition increases.

Statement of Problem:
The quality of food is declining resulting is declining of restaurant reputation and customer value. Number of customers are getting decreased day by day. How to attract new customers. It is quality of food that satisfies customers and attracts them. The quality of food in Fri chiks is getting low which results in dissatisfaction of customers and hence illoyality of customers.

Scope of study:
. Objective for this study was to clarify the relationships between quality, value,

satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. We suggest that the consumer decisionmaking process for service products is best modeled as a complex system that incorporates both direct and indirect effects on behavioral intentions. There are a number of implications of this study for future research projects. The obvious implication is the need for further consideration of similar composite models. Additional decision-making variables should also be included. Potential measures

include the physical or tangible quality of service products, the quality of the service environment etc.

Literature Review:
Satisfaction Measurement (CSM), Customer Value Management (CVM), and ideologies such as are both the foundation and consequence of these waves. However, the result of these efforts has been mixed. That is, although a consensus is beginning to emerge for some topics, others remain unresolved. The current study is intended to address both the convergent and divergent literatures. The Interrelationships In addition to measurement issues, developing an understanding of the conceptual relationships between service encounter constructs has preoccupied services researchers over the past two decades. Since then, numerous studies have endeavored to model these links (e.gThe result is that at least a partial consensus has emerged (Taylor, 1997) that is captured by the following excerpts. The service management literature argues that customer satisfaction is the result of a customers perception of the value received. . . where The rst determinant of overall customer satisfaction is perceived quality. . . the second determinant of overall Customer satisfaction is recognized as being highly associated with value and. . . is based on conceptually, on Although convergence seems to have emerged from the study of interrelationships, ambiguity persists relative to Rust and Olivers (1994) third directive, the study of consequences. That is not to say that direct links to outcome variables have not appeared in the literature. Numerous studies, have specied relationships between quality, value, satisfaction and such consequences as customer loyalty, positive word of mouth, price premiums, and repurchase intentions. However, a closer evaluation of Table 1 reveals little uniformity concerning which of the three variables, or combinations therein, directly affect consequence measures. In fact, model structure appears highly dependent on the nature of the study. For instance, if the research objective is to assess customer satisfaction implications, then the model tends to be satisfaction dominated, such that the primary link to outcome

measures is through satisfaction (see Table 1). This is also true of studies that focus on either service quality or service value. It should be noted that we do not suggest that these studies are incorrect; rather, most are just limited in scope. Therefore, managers who look to the literature as a means of setting service goals risk being misled by the objective of the research as well as the time period (i.e., wave) in which it was written. That is, as shown in Figure 1, depending on the source, several competing models of direct effects can be identied. The rst model depicted in Figure 1 is based on the service value literature, where (e.g.

Explanation of Keywords:
Service quality: It can be explained with the help of following points

Understand and improve operational processes. Identify problems quickly and systematically. Establish valid and reliable service performance measures. Measure customer satisfaction and other performance outcomes.

Customer value: It refers to difference between what a customer gets from a product, and what he or she has to give in order to get it. Customer satisfaction: A business term, is a measure of how products and services supplied by a company meet or surpass customer expectation. It is seen as a key performance indicator within business and is part of the four of a Balanced Scorecard.

Research Methodology:
Research Design: The study is empirical in nature, based on the primary data gathered through actual field survey. The data were collected from a sample of 50 students randomly selected from selected University.

Population:
To check the impact of quality on customer satisfaction and customer value. The data was taken from Sargodha main city so total population was about 20000 who come on fast food restaurants. Sample Size: A sample of 50 students is randomly selected to collect the data. All of the such sample size is being determined by Questionnaire and as well as the Interviews. Research Tools\Instrument: Interviews are conducted and Questionnaire was designed and administered to collect the views. Respondents were asked to mark their awareness and perceptions about the quality of mineral water on a continuous five-point Likert scale as strongly agree, agree; neither agrees nor disagrees, disagree and strongly disagree. The questions were focused both on the issue of price, distribution system, mineral water impact on health and economy.

Data Analysis: CONCLUSION:


Companies increasingly look to quality, satisfaction, and loyalty as keys to achieving market leadership. Understanding what drives these critical elements, how they are linked and how they contribute to your companys overall equity is fundamental to success Our objective for this study was to clarify the relationships between quality, value, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. We suggest that the consumer decision-making process for service products is best modeled as a complex system that incorporates both direct and indirect effects on behavioral intentions. The hypothesis we generated were true that
. H1. There is a positive relationship between the quality of food and customer satisfaction. H2. There is a positive relationship between quality of food and value of firm.. . H3. There exists a positive relationship between quality of food and health of customers.

H4. There exists a positive relationship between quality of service delivery and number of customers. .

These hypothesis are verified after this detailed study Reiterating our initial set of questions, is it necessary to measure all three of these variables? The answer is yes as the effect of these variables on behavioral intentions is both comprehensive and complex. Specically, we provide evidence that quality, value, and satisfaction directly inuences behavioral intentions.. There are a number of implications of this study for future research projects. The obvious implication is the need for further consideration of similar composite models. Additional decision-making variables should also be included. Potential measures include the physical or tangible quality of service products, the quality of the service environment.This is especially true if we are to better understand the complexities of how service quality inuences customer service behavior.

LIMITATIONS :
As is the case with any research project, the studies presented exhibit limitations that should be considered.We limit our consideration to the identied variables simply because the focus of the investigation is on the composite set of links between consumers service quality and value perceptions, the satisfaction they attribute to the service provider, and their behavioral intentions.In addition, methodology may be construed as a limitation. The results presented here are based on the analysis of a causal model with cross-sectional data. Because the model is not tested using an experimental design, strong evidence of causal effects cannot be inferred.
