Abstract Background Customer satisfaction represents an innovative approach to measure strengths and weaknesses of an organization and is useful for a customer-focused management and culture development. Our survey’s aim was to investigate perceived quality and needs of customers in the university canteen sector. Methods Between April and June 2018, an anonymous online questionnaire was distributed by “agenzia regionale per il diritto agli studi superiori” (ARDISS) among university students in Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy. The questions covered 3 thematic areas: attendance of the service, quality of services and opinions on new initiatives. Furthermore, there was an open question to collect students’ suggestions or proposals to improve the service. Satisfaction about the service was evaluated through five topics: environments, hygiene, staff, meals, global satisfaction. Collected data were analyzed with descriptive, univariate and multivariate analyses. Statistical analyses were performed using 9.4 SAS software. Results Response rate was 20.5% (1933/9404). Multiple logistic regression analyses showed a difference in meal choice (entire vs reduced) between institutional canteen and partner cafeterias users (p < 0.0001) and that male (p < 0.0001) and foreign students (p 0.0003) prefer entire meal instead of reduced. Percentage of students who prefer entire meal is reduced (p < 0.0001) if price range increases. Univariate and multivariate analyses showed that high quality perception is associated with lower price range and no suggestions about food and environments (p < 0.0001); multivariate analyses also showed an association between high quality perception and high canteen attendance (p < 0.05). Conclusions The survey showed an association between meal choice and students’ profile and between perceived quality and customer’s features. These data and further analyses may help to select areas where an intervention could improve service quality and, therefore, customer satisfaction. Key messages Customer satisfaction is an important tool to measure and improve university canteen service quality. These results helped us to identify services’ strengths and weaknesses according to students’ opinions; this could be useful to select improvement areas.

The service quality literature indicates a variety of gaps between expected and perceived quality, and that service quality is a key determinant of customer satisfaction. As such, the present paper examines international freight forwarders (IFFs) and IFF customers with respect to various services which might be provided by IFFs; the paper also reports on user satisfaction with their IFFs. The study results identified several mismatches between what the forwarders are currently providing and what services the users view as important. In addition, the satisfaction ratings suggest that forwarders’ performance has room for improvement.

This paper examines the gap between the expected service and reality from Uber’s customer perception. Service companies tend to be careful and pay more attention to their customers’ satisfaction and aim to have a good relationship to ensure their loyalty. Service quality dimension was used and applied to find the gap between customer satisfaction and customer expectation. The hypothesis was tested in the empirical study to find how service quality (with five dimensions: tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance and empathy) affects customer satisfaction on using Uber service. 105 international students from Indonesia who lives in Taiwan and experienced riding with Uber in Taiwan filled out the online questionnaire. SPSS 23 was used to do the analysis. The result of F-test shows that customer satisfaction positively influenced by service quality, while t-test shows that there is improvement needed on responsiveness and empathy dimension. Rating system from Uber declares that customer satisfaction is 4.6 out of 5, this paper shows that customer satisfaction is 4.3 out of 5 from service quality dimension. Statistically this is a significant gap that needs to be filled to reach a closer gap to the expected service. This research can be done with a wider range to know more about customers’ delight on using Uber. Language barrier between customer and Uber driver could be the reason of the gap. Including Taiwanese students as respondents could be done for further research.
