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.

최근 환경 보호를 위해서 정부의 주도하에 커피전문점에서는 1회용품 대신 텀블러 사용을 장려하고 있다. 하지만 세척이 불편하고 휴대성이 좋지 않아서 효과가 크지 않은 것이 현실이다. 또한 유명 커피전문점에서는 조잡한 가품 텀블러 문제로 브랜드 이미지가 훼손되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 NFC 텀블러 시스템을 설계 및 구현하였다. NFC 텀블러는 기존 적립카드를 대체할 수 있기 때문에 텀블러 이용률을 높일 수 있으며 가품 텀블러를 쉽게 구분할 수 있어서 브랜드 이미지 관리에도 도움이 될 것으로 기대한다.
