본 연구는 외식 프랜차이즈의 입지요인과 서비스 품질 요인이 고객만족에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 파악하기 위해, 외식 프랜차이즈 예비창업자들을 연구대상으로 제한하여 외식 프랜차이즈 점포의 이용자에 대한 선호도 분석을 실시하였다. 이를 통해 예비 창업자들에게 외식경영에 있어 보다 이익을 극대화할 수 있는 대안을 제시하는 것이 본 연구의 목적이다. 본 연구에 대한 가설을 검증한 결과 첫째, 외식 프랜차이즈 입지요인과 서비스 품질 요인의 영향력 검증 결과, 응답자들은 점포의 청결함과 가시성을 중시하는 것으로 나타났으며, 근접성 및 교통편이성이 통계적으로 유의하지 못한 이유는 응답자들이 가까운 외식업소를 주로 이용하므로 거리가 크게 문제가 되지 않은 것으로 판단된다. 둘째, 서비스 품질요인과 입지요인과 고객만족의 영향력에 대해 살펴본 결과, 고객반응과 신속정확성, 정확성 요인이 영향력이 높게 나타나 응답자들은 고객의 욕구와 필요에 대한 신속한 반응과 빠른 판단 그리고 업무에 대한 전문적인 지식으로 서비스를 제공해주길 원하는 것으로 나타났으며, 신뢰성에 관련된 요인은 고객만족과는 관련성이 낮게 나타났다. 셋째, 서비스 품질요인과 입지요인과 재이용의 영향력에 대해 살펴본 결과, 재이용의도와 구전의도 두 요인에서 고객반응과 전문성이 모두 통계적으로 유의한 결과를 나타내어 고객만족과 비슷한 통계결과가 나타나 고객만족과 재이용 모두 고객의 욕구에 대한 발 빠른 판단과 행동 및 전문적 지식이 중요한 것으로 파악된다. 이상의 연구 결과는 외식프랜차이즈 창업시 입지요인과 서비스 품질 요인이 고객만족에 미치는 영향을 살펴봄으로써 예비 창업자들의 성공가능성을 높여줄 것으로 판단하며 나아가 기존의 창업자들에게도 직 간접적인 영향 요소들에 대한 개선을 통해 목표이익의 달성과 이익극대화에 도움이 될 것으로 판단한다.
