Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to identify the structural relationships among the drivers of lovemarks (mystery, sensuality, intimacy, trust, reputation and performance), lovemarks (brand love and brand respect) and loyalty of a name-brand coffee shop.

Design/methodology/approach

To this end, a self-administered questionnaire survey was conducted, and after eliminating the outliers, a total of 401 data were analyzed using the SPSS and AMOS statistical packages.

Findings

The results of the current study indicate that both customers’ brand love and respect are positively related to their brand loyalty and sensuality, intimacy, trust among drivers of lovemarks directly affecting their brand loyalty, suggesting that the theory of lovemarks is useful to understand the process of generating brand loyalty. Moreover, it was revealed that reputation and performance are significant antecedents of brand respect, while mystery, sensuality and intimacy are important to explain brand love.

Practical implications

The present research informed that effectively dealing with two constituents of lovemarks (brand love and brand respect) are of utmost importance in building patrons’ brand loyalty. In addition, patrons’ cognitive and emotional experiences should be improved to boost the level of loyalty for a name-brand coffee shop.

Originality/value

This study made a contribution to the literature by conceptually and empirically evaluating lovemarks’ dimensions simultaneously in the name-brand coffee shop environment. In addition, this research was the first attempt to explicate loyalty formation for a name-brand coffee shop by using the lovemarks theory.

Design/methodology/approach

Proposed relationships are investigated with 683 previous coffee shop customers, based on a cross-section, online, self-administered survey in South Korea.

Findings

Results identify advertising spending, attitude toward the advertisement, monetary promotion, and non-monetary promotion play key roles in influencing brand identification; however, they do not influence brand image. Both brand identification and brand image further influence brand love on brand loyalty.

Originality/value

This study is the first to investigate the marketing communication mix elements in a coffee shop context.

Abstract

Coffee shops are becoming more aware that brand loyalty can be an effective strategy for securing a competitive edge in business. To supplement current understanding of the importance of coffee shop branding, this study investigates the role of personality traits and congruity in the formation of brand loyalty. This study finds that personality traits have direct effects on congruity and customer satisfaction, the two defining factors of brand loyalty. Overall, our results suggest that the interaction of personality traits, congruity, and satisfaction is essential to the process of influencing coffee shop customers’ brand loyalty.

Abstract

Purpose

The main aim of this research was to explore specialty coffee experience dimensions and what drives revisit intentions through experiencescapes. The theoretical framework on experience co-creation in food and wine consumption by Carvalho et al. (2021) was employed to explore the dimensions of specialty coffee shop experiences and specialty coffee consumer revisit intentions.

Design/methodology/approach

Using the interpretivist epistemology, this research explored these factors from the perspectives of customers, coffee shop baristas, and managers and owners to better understand consumer behaviour in the context of urban coffee shops. In-depth interviews were employed to collect data to obtain first-hand, emic perspectives.

Findings

The notion of specialty coffee and its experiencescape were examined in the context of a region of tea-dominated landscapes. This research highlighted the significance of baristas as agents of coffee connoisseurship, being able to introduce the beans and the art of coffee making to customers in active ways. The findings amplified that olfactory encounters triggering a myriad of senses are crucial to the specialty coffee experiencescape.

Originality/value

This is among the first studies to explore the driving factors for customer visits and revisit intentions to urban coffee shops. The findings point to greater sophistication and engagement in-person and online for urban coffee shops. More importantly, the olfactory encounters differed for solo and group customer.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to explore the hidden connectivity among words by semantic network analysis, further identify salient factors accounting for customer satisfaction of coffee shops through analysis of online reviews and, finally, examine the moderating effect of business types of coffee shops on customer satisfaction.

Design/methodology/approach

Two typical major procedures of big data analytics in the hospitality industry were adopted in this research: one is data collection and the other is data analysis. In terms of data analysis, frequency analysis with text mining, semantic network analysis, CONCOR analysis for clustering and quantitative analysis with dummy variables were performed to dig new insights from online customer reviews both qualitatively and quantitatively.

Findings

Different factors were extracted from online customer reviews contributing to customer satisfaction or dissatisfaction, and among these factors, the brand-new factor “Sales event” was examined to be significantly associated with customer satisfaction. In addition, the moderating effect of business types on the relationship between “Value for money” and customer satisfaction was verified, indicating differences between customers from different types of coffee shops.

Research limitations/implications

The present study broadened the research directions of coffee shops by adopting online customer reviews through relative analytics. New dimensions such as “Sales event” and detailed categorization of “Coffee quality”, “Interior” and “Physical environment” were revealed, indicating that even new cognition could be generated with new data source and analytical methods. The industry professionals could develop their decision-making based on information from online reviews.

Originality/value

The present study used online reviews to understand coffee shop costumer experience and satisfaction through a set of analytical methods. The textual reviews and numeric reviews were concerned simultaneously to unearth qualitative perception and quantitative data information for customers of coffee shops.

Propósito

Este estudio intenta explorar las relaciones encubiertas de palabras, mediante el análisis de redes semánticas, pero aún más, identificar los factores destacados que explican la satisfacción de los clientes de las cafeterías a través del análisis de reseñas online y, por último, examinar el efecto moderador de los tipos de negocios de cafeterías en la satisfacción al cliente.

Diseño/metodología/enfoque

En esta investigación se adoptaron dos procedimientos principales de análisis de “Big Data” en la industria hotelera, uno es la recopilación de datos y el otro es el análisis de datos. En términos de análisis de datos, se efectuó un análisis de frecuencia con minado de texto (text mining), análisis de red semántica, análisis CONCOR para agrupamiento y análisis cuantitativo con variables ficticias para extraer nuevas perspectivas de las reseñas de los clientes online, tanto cualitativa como cuantitativamente.

Hallazgos

Diferentes factores fueron extraídos de las reseñas de clientes online que contribuyen a la satisfacción o insatisfacción de estos y, entre estos factores, se examinó que el nuevo factor “Evento de Ventas” está significativamente asociado con la satisfacción al cliente. Además, se verificó el efecto moderador de los tipos de negocios entre la relación de “Valor por Dinero” y la satisfacción del cliente, indicando las diferencias entre los clientes de distintos tipos de cafeterías.

Limitaciones/implicaciones de la investigación

El presente estudio amplia la perspectiva de investigación de las cafeterías, al adoptar las reseñas de clientes online a través de un análisis relativo. Se revelaron nuevas dimensiones como “Evento de Ventas” y la categorización detallada de la “Calidad del Café”, “Interior” y “Entorno Físico”, lo que indica que se podría generar una nueva cognición con una nueva fuente de datos y métodos analíticos. Los profesionales de la industria podrían llevar a cabo la toma de decisiones en función de la información obtenida a través de las reseñas en línea.

Originalidad/valor

El presente estudio utilizó reseñas de clientes online para comprender la experiencia y satisfacción de los clientes de las cafeterías a través de un conjunto de métodos analíticos. Las revisiones numéricas y de texto se tomaron en cuenta simultáneamente para revelar la percepción tanto cualitativa como cuantitativa de la información de los clientes de las cafeterías.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the interrelationships among coffeehouse brand experiences, customer satisfaction and perceived value in generating patrons’ repeat purchase intention.

Design/methodology/approach

The survey sample consisted of 379 coffeehouse patrons who visited an international chain coffeehouse in a metropolitan city of South Korea.

Findings

The results of the structural equation modeling revealed that a coffeehouse brand experience exerted a significant influence on customer satisfaction and perceived value. The repurchase intention was found to be a significant and positive function of customer satisfaction and perceived value. Moreover, the result of the metric invariance test demonstrated a significant moderating impact on the relationships between coffeehouse brand experiences and customer satisfaction, coffeehouse brand experiences and perceived value, and customer satisfaction and repurchase intention.

Research limitations/implications

An examination of the moderating role of switching costs demonstrated that the relationships between coffeehouse brand experiences and customer satisfaction, between coffeehouse brand experiences and perceived value and between customer satisfaction and repurchase intention differed across switching costs groups. More specifically, the relationship strength was greater for the high group of switching costs than for the low group.

Originality/value

The present study provides coffeehouse management with a better understanding of the underlying mechanism of patrons’ repurchase decision generation process.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study is to gain a more nuanced understanding of the relationship between a national product (coffee) and gastronomy. Moreover, incorporating the resource-based view of the firm framework, the importance of coffee is examined, as is the extent and potential to “marry” coffee and gastronomy into a tourism activity, and the need to develop such potential.

Design/methodology/approach

Semi-structured, face-to-face and online interviews were used to gather the viewpoints of 79 chefs and coffee shop owners/managers operating in Vietnam, the world’s second-largest coffee producer and home to a vibrant coffee shop industry.

Findings

The selected inductive analysis identified 11 dimensions, including “coffee infrastructure”, “coffee-based innovation”, “coffee-trigger” and “coffee resources”, emerged. These dimensions reveal a strong potential for a coffee and local gastronomy “marriage”. Furthermore, nine of the 11 dimensions provide direct guidance concerning the importance, the potential for “marriage”, coffee tourism development and what is needed to fulfil this potential.

Practical implications

The study affords understanding of Vietnam’s coffee industry, in particular its resources, and how these can be leveraged to combine with the nation’s gastronomy and produce more fulfilling food and beverage experiences.

Originality/value

Gastronomy, hospitality and tourism represent a well-defined partnership that can result in memorable consumer experiences. While the strength of this partnership is recognised, little is known about the potential to “marry” a national product such as coffee and local gastronomy. The study breaks new ground in this area and concludes with various theoretical and practical implications that contribute to more understanding of the coffee–gastronomy relationship.

This study aims to develop a theoretical model to identify the importance of brand modernity with the moderating role of human baristas and robot baristas.

Abstract

Purpose

This study aims to develop a theoretical model to identify the importance of brand modernity with the moderating role of human baristas and robot baristas.

Design/methodology/approach

A total of 333 samples were collected from a coffee shop where robots provide the services, and 354 samples were collected in a coffee shop where people provide the services.

Findings

The data analysis showed that brand modernity has a positive effect on brand attitude, which in turn positively affects brand attachment and brand loyalty. In addition, there is a moderating role in regard to the type of employee in the relationship between brand modernity and brand attachment and brand attitude and brand loyalty.

Originality/value

This study is different from the previous studies, because it used two types of employees, which included a human barista and a robot barista, as a moderating variable with the formation of brand attitude, brand attachment and brand loyalty.

Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of this study examined the effect of the eight dimensions of consumer innovativeness on brand satisfaction. In addition, this study investigated how brand satisfaction affects brand preference and brand loyalty. Lastly, how brand preference plays to form brand loyalty was also explored.

Design/methodology/approach

A survey was conducted via an online platform with the participants using an online firm in South Korea to evaluate the proposed research model. The data was collected from 326 people who used a coffee shop where robots provide the services.

Findings

The data analysis results indicated that the five dimensions of consumer innovativeness, which include novelty seeking, openness, quality experience seeking, hedonic experience seeking and social distinctiveness, aid to enhance brand satisfaction. Furthermore, it was discovered that brand satisfaction plays an important role with the formation of brand preference and brand loyalty.

Originality/value

There are few studies which focus how coffee consumers assess the value of a coffee brand. Thus, it would be meaningful to examine what impacts of consumer innovativeness exist in regards to robotic barista services that are related to brand satisfaction, brand preference and brand loyalty.

研究目的

本研究考察了消费者创新性的八个维度对品牌满意度的影响。此外, 本研究还调查了品牌满意度如何影响品牌偏好和品牌忠诚度。最后, 还探讨了品牌偏好在形成品牌忠诚度方面的作用。

研究方法

本研究通过在线平台在韩国进行了一项调查, 参与者使用一家提供机器人服务的咖啡店进行评估。数据收集自326名在该咖啡店使用服务的顾客。

研究发现

数据分析结果表明, 包括新奇寻求、开放性、品质体验寻求、享乐体验寻求和社交独特性在内的五个消费者创新性维度有助于提高品牌满意度。此外, 品牌满意度在品牌偏好和品牌忠诚度的形成中起着重要作用。

研究创新

目前很少有研究关注咖啡消费者如何评估咖啡品牌的价值。因此, 对于与品牌满意度、品牌偏好和品牌忠诚度相关的机器人咖啡师服务消费者创新性影响的研究具有重要意义。
