BUYING DECISION: THE CHOICE OF RESTAURANTS TO HAVE DINNER


The aim of this paper is to investigate consumers buying process and selection of a restaurant for dining. The study employs a questionnaire, and the number of respondents was 383 people. The Engel-Blackwell-Miniard (2005) model was used to create a conceptual research framework to guide the analysis of consumers’ behavior when choosing restaurants to have dinner, and how consumers identify a need, search for information, analyze these decisions, buy and behave after the purchase process. The results suggest that consumers’ choices follow a linear method when they decide about a restaurant which they will have dinner, which confirms the Engel-Blackwell-Miniard (2005) models. Based on the findings, practical implications are proposed.

Keywords: Food and beverage sector, Marketing, Consumer behavior, Buying decision process, Spearman’s Rho
