The second thing our team would like to do is express gratitude to the Ton Duc Thang University Department of Business Administration for giving us the opportunity and favorable circumstances to research and analyze the topic.
We greatly appreciate it Research Team CHAPTER 1: INTRODUCTION 1. Background In the era of industrialization and modernization, the demand for advanced technical technologies has significantly developed, and people's food demands are constantly evolving. However, the overload of work and busy life lead to the appearance of online food delivery services (OFDS). According to the Viet Nam case, online food delivery is a relatively young business, but it is growing swiftly.
The COVID-19 outbreak resulted in travel and movement limitations that made it difficult for the whole food service industry to operate, although the market for online food delivery saw a considerable increase in utilization. Customers were virtually compelled to place their orders online rather than in person at the restaurant before becoming accustomed to ordering using a smartphone app. 83% of participants in the current research of men and women between 18 and 40 used meal delivery services in HCM, Hanoi, and Da Nang in December 2021. Along with the online transportation segment, this market's size was estimated to be three billion dollars in 2022.
Moreover, the revenue of the Vietnam online food delivery market amounts to 405 million USD in 2020 and is forecasted to be 459 million USD in 2023. As a result, online food delivery services have become popular. Currently, OFDS is expanding rapidly in social life, especially in developing nations like Vietnam. Several researchers have examined OFDS purchasing intent utilizing a variety of influencing factors, including characteristics of technology (Ray et al., 2019), and consumer traits (Gunden et al., 2020), Especially, OFDS had been widely used 10 during quarantine due to the effect regarding the Covid-19 epidemic so in the research report of (Brewer, 2021), they highlighted the impact of internet restaurant menus on consumers’ decision to consume during that pandemic period.
In other words, the experiences, attitudes, and behavioral intentions of customers are also vital factors that can impact their purchase decision (Vincent Cheow Sean Yeo, 2017). Or (Dwi Suhartanto, 2019) proved the significance of the role of e-service quality and food quality in determining customer loyalty to online food delivery services. Therefore, it is advised that further research be done to comprehend how perceptions of various age groups or generations affect people's attitudes and behaviors with regard to the adoption of apps. Problem statement Due to the factors of convenience, speed, and quantity of food on various applications and services, online food delivery platforms have met the culinary preferences of a variety of customers.
Customers no longer need to visit restaurants or stores to install and receive dishes thanks to the app's popularity and ease of use. With just a few select operations, users can do so at home. The advantages that come with using a food delivery service have increased the demand for it. However, it is vital to keep up with clients to keep utilizing the service differentiate, increase competitiveness and sustain the future development of the business.So that examing the variables factors that influence consumers’ choices to use online delivery platforms is an necessary problem Usage frequency has not been explored as a moderating factor in the OFDS context in any previous research.
It is important to understand the decision-making procedures of regular and irregular customers in order to improve the online food delivery service. This is because the market has moved beyond the early stage of 11 adoption, with more repeat customers, indicating maturity. As such, it is essential to differentiate the purchase intentions of customers based on usage frequency and determine what factors significantly influence them. In response to this research gap, this study examines how the determinants (social influence, effort expectancy, performance expectancy, trust, and food safety risk perception) impact on usage frequency, leading to the purchase intention toward OFD services.
To be more specific, this study proposes to evaluate: (1) the direct influence of social influence, effort expectancy, and performance expectancy on purchase intention and (2) the indirect influence through trust and food safety risk perception. OFDS has helped restaurants by giving them a new way to serve customers. It enables users to place online restaurant orders as well as orders from online meal delivery services. Customers like to purchase food online since it is more convenient.
Almost anyone with a smartphone can place an online order for food from a restaurant. Businesses might benefit substantially from having a website for their restaurant that provides online ordering because internet meal service can eliminate order ambiguities and client annoyances. OFDS in relation to keeping food's temperature delivery drivers’ hygiene and even food tampering during delivery. Online food ordering offers few opportunities for direct communication, which may not be appealing to clients who prefer face-to-face encounters.
Furthermore, because online/mobile platform customers frequently OFDS consumers are not exempt from issues with regard to service interface design, communication speed, privacy, and security, including payment processors (Yeh & Li, 2009) to these issues and express some level the platforms for services are unclear (Kim et al. These threats, nonetheless, can be decreased when people believe in the platform and have courage to employ technology despite the hazards they perceive (Hsiao et al., 2010; Kim et al. To put it another way, trusted e- 12 commerce customers are more inclined to make purchases from that website or platform. (Kim et al.
Research objective Examining the factors influencing consumers' choices to use online delivery platforms is the aim of this study. The majority of existing research focuses on the direct connections between factors and behavioral more sophisticated manners. This will be achieved by adding the elements of trust and the perception of food safety risk. Positive relationships between factors are also found, including those between social influence and performance expectancy, effort expectancy and performance expectancy, and the significance of trust in effort expectancy and food safety risk perception.
Additionally, this investigation aims to confirm how frequently OFDS is used to moderate the relationship between the factors and the intention to purchase OFDS. Research question To clarify the possible action, the study solves the following aspects: @ What factors affect decision to use an online meal delivery service in Vietnam? ® How do factors affect purchase intention toward online food delivery services? @® How do the factors that determine purchase intentions for OFDS and usage frequency interact? @ What are the managerial implications to enhance the quality of OFDS? 13 1. Significance of research 1. Theorical significance The significance of this research is to provide a framework for a better knowledge of how both frequent and infrequent customers make decisions.
Practical significance This study will be helpful for OFDS providers in identifying the purchase intention determinants in accordance with the unified theory of technology acceptance and use (UTAUT).
