Ho Chi Minh City, December 2021 Authors of the thesis 1 ABSTRACTS The research “Factors Affecting Customer Satisfaction in Delivery Service During the COVID-19 Pandemic in the case of Yugen Bar” was proceeded in Ho Chi Minh city.
The objective of this study is to systematize and identify factors affecting customer satisfaction in delivery service during the pandemic. The research method is qualitative research (focus group discussion) and quantitative research (online survey). The sample size of the survey is 168, with respondents are customers of Yugen Bar. The study uses the SPSS 20 to analyze the reliability of the scale through Cronbach's Alpha, EFA to test the model.
The study’s results show that five factors positively affect customer satisfaction: Delivery service, Safety packaging, Promotion, Perceived price, Distribution channel. Besides, the results of ANOVA analysis showed that there was no difference between the survey groups with factors such as gender, age, income, and employment when analyzing factors affecting customer satisfaction in delivery services during the pandemic. With this research’s results, the authors propose some managerial implications to improve delivery service quality and enhance customer satisfaction. Key words: customer satisfaction, delivery service, covid-19, Yugen Bar.

The Yugen bag 67 8 CHAPTER 01: INTRODUCTION 1. Overview of delivery service in Ho Chi Minh city Explanation: The 15th Directive in Ho Chi Minh city (HCMC). The COVID-19 pandemic has appeared and existed for almost 3 years, accompanied by the virus, many changes and directives have been proposed to control the situation. According to the promulgate of the Prime minister, and the brief of HCDC (Ho Chi Minh city disease control, 2021), applying for delivery service and food and beverage (F&B) service, in the 15th Directive, all necessary service like F&B and delivery are still allowed to provide products.
However, only online service can be used, in short, all products from food stores, restaurants, cafes, etc. must be taken by shippers and customers will pay online by E-wallet or cash when receiving products. 1) Before the 15th directive People used to prefer having meals at restaurants or buying food by themselves, however, the development of online service brings a huge benefit for both business and customer, delivery platforms have appeared and changed people’s behavior. Everyone chooses delivery service as a habit when they want to transfer things or order food and beverage because they can save time and cost.
In a dynamic city like HCM city, the demand of using these services is extremely high, thus, many apps have been developed and met the need. In a usual scene, the “shippers” work non-stop from morning till night. Around HCM city, a lot of “shippers” from various shipping brands are always in a rush to send things and food to customers. 2) During the 15th directive.
The 15th directive first applied to control the disease since March 2020 (Ministry of health portal, 2020). Up to now, HCM city has applied this directive 2 times, March 2020 and June 2021, there are some changes in both stages, however, for the F&B services, the “take away” and “paying online” measures are recommended to be used. In HCM city, F&B service plays a big role in economics, the out-of-home consumption in F&B takes over 41%, including restaurants, cafes, bars, pubs, street food, etc (Vietnam Briefing, 2017). The demand of using this service is increasing day by day, thus, many and many F&B delivery services have been established and grown rapidly.
The citizens get used to ordering food online since the convenience of staying at home and food or drinks will be delivered to their living room in a short time. After applying the 15th directive in HCM city, 9 online delivery services have an opportunity to blow up because people are not allowed to go outside, however, delivery services are still being available. Behavior and satisfaction of customers when using delivery service, especially in F&B delivering have been studied and analyzed quite much before. However, in a tough situation as the COVID-19 pandemic and many directives have been provided by the government, F&B services have fallen into depression and have not found a solution.
Therefore, the topic “Factors Affecting Customer Satisfaction in Delivery Service during the COVID-19 Pandemic” will contribute to evaluating and clarifying the factors that affect customer satisfaction when using delivery services. As a result, every piece of advice and suggestion will be considered and applied to enhance the experience of customers.
