Abstract
Quality is recognized as one of the key components of business strategies. In this respect, this study aims to investigate quality factors that influence customer satisfaction and loyalty in Korean Tofu restaurants and promote the quality improvement in their service operations. The experimental data were collected from the questionnaire answered by 130 customers in Seoul and Kyonggi area. They were statistically analyzed using SPSS Win.12.0. For statistical analysis, frequency, factor analysis, reliability analysis, and regression analyses were conducted. The results of the analyses show that two dimensions such as "empathy" and "IT use" influence the satisfaction of customers. "Empathy", "tangibles", "well-being food", and "customer satisfaction" were identified as critical factors influencing the loyalty of customers.
