Abstract:
"Service quality is a critical factor in customer retention in the fast-food restaurant industry. Customers who perceive high service quality are more likely to be satisfied with their experience and return to the restaurant in the future.
This study examines the impact of service quality on customer retention in fast-food restaurants. The study uses a quantitative approach, collecting data from a sample of 500 customers of fast-food restaurants in the United States. The data was collected using an online survey questionnaire.
The study finds that service quality has a significant positive impact on customer retention. This means that customers who perceive higher service quality are more likely to return to the restaurant in the future.
The study also identifies the key dimensions of service quality that are most important to customers. These dimensions include:
Promptness and efficiency of service
Friendliness and helpfulness of staff
Accuracy of orders
Cleanliness and sanitation of the restaurant
Quality of food
The study's findings suggest that fast-food restaurants should focus on improving these key dimensions of service quality in order to increase customer retention.
Implications

Ensuring that orders are taken and delivered promptly and efficiently
Training staff to be friendly and helpful
