Along with the recent changes, customers have started to laying emphasis on interior and each of the domestic coffee shops has been changing its interior designs by establishing own brand identification.

This study examined customer's purchase decision-making processes in a coffee chain context. We posit customer satisfaction, brand image, and perceive value as key drivers of forming customer's repurchase intention. From the perspective of multidimensional perceived value concept, the effects of utilitarian, hedonic, and social value on customer's decision-making processes were investigated. The proposed model was empirically tested by using survey data collected from 232 university students who often visit several coffee chains. LISREL has been used to perform these analysis. The proposed theoretical model accounts for 67% of the variance in repurchase intention and 73% of the variance in customer satisfaction. The analysis results indicate that customer satisfaction and brand image play an important role in forming customer's repurchase intention. Further, utilitarian and hedonic values significantly affect customer's repurchase intention, whereas social value negatively influences it.

This study examined the factors that affect the relationship between low price coffee shops service quality and brand image, and rrevisit intention. A total of 225 questionnaires were distributed to consumers, of which 210 were deemed suitable for analysis after the removal of 15 unusable responses. In order to perform statistical analyses required in the study, the SPSS 18.0 Statistical Program was used for frequency analysis, factor analysis, and reliability analysis, correlations, and regression analysis. The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that four factors regarding service quality were extracted from all measurements with a KMO of 0.864 and a total cumulative variance of 73.235%, With regard to brand image, one factor was extracted with a total cumulative variance of 66.497% and a KMO score of 0.885. One factor for revisit intention was extracted that accounted for a total cumulative variance of 60.192% and a KMO score of 0.845. All factors were significant to 0.000 and the correlation between variables was significant. Thus, based on the results, the main research hypothesis that identifies the relationship among service quality, brand image and revisit intention was partially adopted.

In order to examine the effects of self-congruity on functional congruity, brand attitude and behavioral intention in name-brand coffee shops, this study attempted to examine the self-congruity in two types which are nonsocial-type SC and social-type SC. The results showed that self-congruity had positive significant effects on functional congruity and nonsocial-type SC influenced to functional congruity more than social-type SC. Also, these two types of self-congruity didn't have direct significant effects on brand attitude. But it had significant effects on brand attitude through the functional congruity.

본 연구에서는 카페 비즈니스에서 중요한 서비스 품질의 여러 요인 중 카페의 사회문화성이 새로운 커피 비즈니스의 주요 특성으로 대두됨을 인식하여 이를 통해 카페의 이미지와 브랜드 충성도의 향상방안을 모색해보고자 함에 본 연구의 목적이다. 커피 전문점 중 전문브랜드와, 지역브랜드, 개인카페를 중심으로 설문을 통해 이를 분석한 결과, 카페 서비스품질 중 사회문화성은 전국 프랜차이즈는 브랜드 충성도를 도리어 낮추는 결과를 주지만 개인카페는 브랜드 충성도를 높이는 요인으로 작용하는 차별된 효과가 나타나 개인카페나 지역프랜차이즈의 카페 비즈니스에서는 전문성이 기반이 되어야만 브랜드 충성도를 향상시킬 수 있으며, 개인카페는 지역 프랜차이즈보다는 더욱 덜 복잡한 서비스 전략이 필요한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 개인카페의 특수한 사항들이 사회문화성을 통한 브랜드 이미지를 향상시키고 이를 통해 브랜드 충성도를 높이는 것을 알 수 있다. 결과적으로 전국 프랜차이즈는 서비스 품질 중 접근성과 확신성을 통해 브랜드 이미지와 브랜드 충성도가 높아지는 전략이 우선적으로 대두되며, 그 외의 서비스 품질들은 충분히 현재의 상태로도 매우 만족스러운 결과인 것으로 나타났다. 반면, 지역 프랜차이즈의 경우는 서비스 품질 중 확신성이 강화되고, 서비스 전문성과 접근성을 통해서 더욱 브랜드 이미지와 브랜드 충성도를 향상시킬 수 있는 전략이 마련되어야 전국 프랜차이즈화 될 수 있는 고객의 인지력을 향상할 수 있는 전략이 모색된다. 반면, 지역기반의 개인카페들은 전국단위의 프랜차이즈보다 전국단위의 프랜차이즈로 나아가기 위해서는 지역기반의 지역프랜차이즈 카페들보다도 전문성 강화가 중요하며, 사회문화성을 강조하는 서비스 전략을 통해 고객들로 하여금 브랜드 충성도를 높이도록 전략화 방안이 필요하다.

The purpose of this study is to suggest ways to reduce plastic use, one of the main culprits of environmental pollution around the world. Recently, the use of disposable cups at a domestic cafe has not been effective due to growing the number of stores and cafe in various brands. Cafes recommend the use of tumblers as a solution to the problem, but actual there are not many users in cafe. I need to investigate the problems of tumbler use and individual opinions through the first phase is FGI (Focus Group Interview). In the second phase, I investigate similar services, which are currently implemented in domestic and overseas, as a case study. The results showed that although similar services are offered in domestic, the focus is on tumbler sharing, which is somewhat insufficient for convenience provided when using cafes. Through this study, I hope to provide convenience and voluntary environmental protection by proposing a plan to activate Tumbler sharing services for cafe and users.
