Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine of the meal and service quality satisfaction of University foodservice institutions. 462 University students in the Seoul area were surveyed between October 14 and 21, 2002. The result of this study showed that $63.9\%$ of University students were eating 1-4 times per week at University foodservice institutions. The main reasons for eating at University foodservice institutions were inexpensive price $(60.8\%)$ and economy of time $(31.8\%)$. The reasons for not eating at University foodservice institutions were tasteless food $(50.3\%)$ and dissatisfaction with the menu $(22.7\%)$. Most University students $(75.5\%)$ considered taste of food in selecting from the menu. An importance-performance analysis of the meals served at University foodservice institutions showed that variety of the menu and taste of the food were of poor performance, but of high importance. The service quality of University foodservice institutions using a modified Servqual model were tangibles(-0.83), empathy(-1.05), reliability(-1.09) and assurance(-1.13) in decreasing order.
