Owing to an increasing trend of opening medium to large sized stores and investments in the wake of converting to multiple business type Korean food franchise, there is growing need to set up new concept of store development and operational management strategy in order to overcome the excessive competition and limited sales volume of the old-fashioned small sized, small capital franchise stores. Furthermore, as most business category of food service franchise serve very similar menus, from a product differentiation point of view, it is required to map out flexible sales concept including the adoption of competitive and low-price strategy.

본고에서는 Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) 네트워크 기반의 자동 수요반응 기술에 대해 소개한다. 수요반응은 피크 수요 기간 동안 전력의 안정화에 큰 기여를 할 수 있으며, 수요반응의 범위와 효과가 증가함에 따라 일반 수용가의 참여가 매우 중요한 이슈로 떠오르고 있다. 하지만, 다양한 지역에 위치한 수용가를 대상으로 수요반응 서비스를 제공하기 위해서는 유틸리티 또는 수요관리사업자와 고객 간의 수요반응 신호 교환과 정보 공유를 위한 통합 네트워크 구축이 필수적으로 필요하다. 또한, 이기종 시스템 간 상호운용성 보장을 위한 공통의 통신 제어 기술이 요구된다. 본고에서는 AMI 네트워크를 기반으로 IEC/PAS 규격인 Open Automated Demand Response version 2.0 (OpenADR2.0) 기술을 채택하여 수용가를 대상으로 한 자동화된 수요반응 서비스를 실현하고자 한다. AMI 디바이스를 수요반응 자원으로 활용하기 위하여 기존의 기능은 유지한 채로 OpenADR2.0 프로토콜을 탑재하여 수요반응 기능이 추가된 디바이스들을 개발하였으며, 프로토콜 적합성 테스트와 필드 테스트를 통하여 자동화된 수요 반응 서비스 및 부하 감축을 검증하였다. 개발 소프트웨어는 OpenADR Alliance로부터 국제공인인증을 획득함으로써 수요 반응 시스템의 레퍼런스 통신 기술로 적용이 가능하다.

외식산업은 국민경제의 발전에 따른 가처분 소득 증가, 여가시간의 증대, 맞벌이 세대의 증가, 핵가족화 등의 성장원인으로 국민의 의식형태의 변화에 따라 수많은 외국 브랜드의 레스토랑이 국내에 진출하여 경쟁이 심화되어 있다. 외국계 레스토랑의 국내 진출은 의식 서비스 품질의 중요성을 인식시켜주는 계기가 되었으며, 고객만족은 그 어떤 무엇보다도 중요한 기업활동의 목적으로 여기는 계기가 되었다. 이러한 점을 감안하여 본 연구는 패밀리 레스토랑을 이용하는 고객들의 만족영향요인으로서 서비스 품질을 선행요인으로 하여 고객만족과 사후에 전개되는 행동과의 관계를 구조적으로 측정하였다. 그리고, 가장 취약한 점을 찾은 후 그 점을 가장 잘 보완할 수 있고, 고객과의 관계를 더욱 친밀히 할 수 있는 새로운 서비스의 타당성을 측정해 보았다. 새로운 서비스로써 지금까지 각 테이블당의 호스트 개념을 고객관리를 함께 하도록 호스트들에게 더 많은 권한을 이양해 주어, 개개인의 호스트라는 느낌을 가져서 타 패밀리 레스토랑보다 특별한 고객으로 대한다는 것을 느낄 수 있게 한다면 통계적으로 살펴봤던 반응성과 공감성 요인의 취약함을 오히려 강점으로 만들 수 있다는 결론이 도출되었다.
