Purpose: Motivated by an expedited growth and distribution of Online Food-Delivery (OFD) services, especially during the recent Covid-19 pandemic, this research aims to explore 1) how consumers' sustainability considerations are associated with satisfaction with the services via opt-out cutlery options and 2) the role of the pandemic in the relationships between sustainability considerations, attitudes toward opt-out cutlery options, and satisfaction with the OFD services. Data and Methodology: An analysis of survey data using 434 consumers in the United States recruited from Amazon M-Turk was conducted using structural equation modeling. Results: Findings suggest that consumers' environmental, health, and ethical considerations are positively related to their attitudes toward opt-out cutlery options. Furthermore, attitudes toward opt-out cutlery options are positively related to satisfaction with the OFD services only when they feel connected with the environment, driven by perceived threats of an infectious disease (i.e. Covid-19). Conclusion: The study findings provide new insights to managers in the OFD service industry on how to promote sustainable consumption during the pandemic.

Purpose: This study investigated the impact of key factors such as service quality, perceived benefit and brand familiarity on a consumer's intention to order online food delivery (OFD). In addition, mediating effect of electronic word of mouth (e-WOM) between relationships among selected key variables and OFD purchase intention is also assessed. Research design, data and methodology: This explanatory, quantitative study employed convenience sampling and collected data through online structured questionnaire from 304 respondents who are users of OFD apps based in greater Klang valley region of Malaysia. The data was then subjected to normality and reliability assessment followed by confirmatory factor analysis, validity assessment and structural equation modelling using IBM SPSS AMOS 24.0. Results: Findings revealed that service quality, perceived benefits and brand familiarity affects purchase intention positively and significantly. Perceived benefits demonstrated highest impact on purchase intention followed by brand familiarity and service quality. Findings also suggest that e-WOM fully mediates relationship between brand familiarity and purchase intention, however, the same was not observed for remaining two variables. Conclusions: The study has enriched OFD literature by investigating impact of selected key factors on purchase intention in the context of OFD. Implications, limitations and future research avenues are then discussed.

최근 온라인 음식배달 수요가 증가하면서 O2O(Online to Offline) 플랫폼 기반 음식배달 비즈니스 성공요인에 대한 연구의 중요성이 커지고 있다. 본 연구는 정보 비대칭성 관점에서 음식배달 플랫폼 내 음식점의 핵심 서비스 속성 중 하나인 위생성 정보의 노출이 음식 판매에 미치는 영향을 분석한다. 국내 최대 음식배달 플랫폼에 등록된 1,146개 음식점을 대상으로 위생성(위생인증), 상호작용성(리뷰 응답률), 신뢰성(프랜차이즈), 인기도(찜수) 요인이 비즈니스 성공(음식 판매)에 미치는 영향을 알아보고자, 선형회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 위생성, 신뢰성, 인기도 속성이 성공에 긍정적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 위생성이 높은 음식점의 경우, 상호작용성과 신뢰성이 음식판매에 미치는 정(+)의 영향이 더 커지는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구는 위생성을 중심으로 O2O 플랫폼 내 비즈니스 성공요인을 분석하고, 음식점 관리자를 위한 새로운 경영전략을 제시하였다는 점에서 실무적 가치가 있다. 학술적으로는 서비스 품질 신호가 음식배달 플랫폼에서 성공에 미치는 영향을 실증적으로 규명하였다는 점에서 연구의 의의가 있다.
