Purpose: South Korea is one of the markets where diverse and innovative cuisines are being tried. Therefore, the expectations for Michelin star restaurants in South Korea are high. The expected value of a Michelin star restaurant consists of both hedonic and utilitarian aspects of the dining experience. These consumer expectations affect visit intention. Research design, data, and methodology: The survey period was from October 10, 2023 to October 18, 2023, and 302 copies were used for hypothesis verification. Result: Hedonic expected value was found to have a significant positive influence on short-term and long-term visit intention, but had no significant effect on mid-term visit intention. Utilitarian expected value was found to have a significant positive influence on short-term and mid-term visit intention, but did not appear to have a significant effect on long-term visit intentions. Short-term visit intention was found to have a significant positive influence on mid-term visit intention, and mid-term visit intention was found to have a significant positive influence on long-term visit intention. Conclusions: The theoretical implications are restaurants need to utilize third-party certification, such as the Michelin Guide. The practical implication is that Michelin star restaurants should provide expected value to increase short-term visit intention.

본 연구에서는 음식점 위생등급제의 인식도를 조사하여 위생등급제 활성화 방안을 마련하고자 성인남녀 총 315명을 대상으로 설문조사를 실시한 결과는 다음과 같다. 조사대상자의 성별은 남자가 43.8%, 여자가 56.2%였고, 가족과 동거하는 경우가 73.3%, 1인 가구가 26.7%였다. 조사대상자중 주 1회 이상 외식하는 경우는 전체의 84.5%였으며, 외식 시간대는 '주말저녁' (66.8%)이 가장 많았다. 또한 가장 선호하는 외식업소 유형은 '한식당' (37.5%), '배달음식점' (14.6%), '양식당' (8.9%) 순이었고, '인터넷 검색' (54.0%)을 통해 외식업소 정보를 얻는 경우가 가장 많았다. 그리고 1인 1회 평균 외식비용은 15,483원이었고, 외식에 대한 전체적인 만족도는 평균 3.58점/5점이었다. 음식점 선택속성에 대한 중요도-만족도 분석 결과 우선적으로 개선이 필요한 항목은 '음식의 적정 가격'과 '화장실의 청결'이었다. 또한 음식점 위생등급제를 알고 있는 경우는 전체의 30.5%였고, 향후 위생등급제 인증 음식점 이용 의향은 5점 척도로 평가한 결과 평균 4.02점이었으며, 인증업체 음식에 대한 추가 지불 의향이 있는 경우는 전체의 56.8%였고, 추가로 지불하겠다는 가격은 음식가격의 6.02%였다. 따라서 음식점 위생등급제의 빠른 정착을 위해서는 고객 대상 교육·홍보, 업체 전 직원의 개선 노력과 함께 인증업체에 대한 정부기관의 정책적 지원이 필요하다고 생각된다.

고객들이 인지하는 국내 외 외식업체에 대한 브랜드 개성을 파악하고, 기업의 매출액과 직결되는 선호도와 재방문에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 파악함으로써 지속적으로 핵심고객의 유인 및 유지하기 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 한다. 본 연구의 결과는 국내 브랜드에서 '성공적인', '건전한', '부지런한'의 순으로 중요하게 인지하고 있고, 친근성 요인(호의적이고 정직하면서 다정함)을 강하게 인지할수록 선호도와 재방문과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 해외 브랜드에서 '서구적인', '호의적인', '젊은'의 순으로 높게 인지하고 있고, 특히 유쾌함 요인과 성공 요인에 대해 선호도와 재방문 의도가 높은 것으로 나타났다. 이에 대한 시사점으로는 국내 브랜드는 핵심고객의 취향과 일치되는 레스토랑의 정확한 컨셉을 설정해야 한다. 해외 브랜드는 톡톡 튀는 분위기의 엔터테인먼트 요소를 강화해야 한다.

I analyze how the food delivery market's indirect network effect and spillover effect influence the spread of food delivery platforms in different counties. This study finds that there is a positive local indirect network effect and a positive spillover effect in the adoption of the platform by examining the food delivery platform market in South Korea as of 2020. As food delivery platforms secure consumers who use them, more restaurants on the other side of a two-sided market adopt such platforms (indirect network effect). The spillover effect would allow other restaurants in a region to become more likely to adopt food delivery platforms if there are a greater number of restaurants in the region that use such platforms. This study contributes to the comprehension of technology diffusion and the marketing strategies of platform providers by providing empirical evidence of both effects.
