Proposed Marketing Strategy to Increase Customer Loyalty with Customer Satisfaction at Restaurant

ABSTRACT: The restaurant industry is a highly competitive space, with a large number of businesses vying for customers and trying to stand out in a crowded market. There are several factors that contribute to the competitiveness of the industry, including the abundance of options available to consumers, the increasing popularity of food delivery and takeout services, and the use of technology to enhance the customer experience. In order to succeed in this industry, restaurants must offer high-quality food and service, and also differentiate themselves from their competitors through unique offerings, strong branding, and effective marketing strategies. Additionally, restaurants must be mindful of trends and changes in consumer preferences and adapt their business models accordingly in order to stay competitive. To address these issues, the company must devise a strategy that addresses the underlying causes. This could entail conducting a market analysis and determining the needs of the target customer base. The restaurant's strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats were identified using a SWOT analysis. Based on this analysis, it was determined that changing the company's TOWS strategy would be the best course of action. This could be accomplished by implementing a revised service marketing mix. The purpose of this study was to better understand the relationship between the 7P marketing mix, customer satisfaction, and customer loyalty in order to retain customers. According to the findings, there are four variables that can influence customer satisfaction (Product, People, Process, and Physical Evidence). Customer satisfaction has a significant impact on customer loyalty and should be incorporated into restaurant marketing mix strategy
