The online food delivery market in India perseveres to grow at a sustained pace. The business has unique dynamics and challenges with the spike in orders during weekends, meeting delivery schedules during peak demand, offering deep discounts to address wavering customer loyalty, reducing cash burns, and managing food quality inconsistency. In contrast, the fast-paced life and the rise of millennials in the workforce is likely to assure a promising future for the food aggregators. The above backdrop has led the researchers to pursue this study. An empirical study was carried out to explore the consumption occasion and the antecedents of online food ordering in the select cities in Karnataka, India. The data was collected from 385 respondents through telephonic and mail survey using a structured questionnaire. The responses were analyzed using exploratory factor analysis and multiple regression. The result of the study indicated a positive association between the constructs ‘buying motives’, ‘aggregator attractiveness’, and customer satisfaction. The variation in customers` satisfaction is largely attributable to the convenience of order placing, food quality, availability of food and restaurant reviews, offers and discounts, faster home delivery, and the wide choice of restaurants listed on the aggregator’s website. Additionally, the aggregator attractiveness showed a higher impact on customer satisfaction as compared to buying motives.

Aim/Purpose: To examine millennial satisfaction towards online food delivery services, including e-service quality, food quality, and perceived value as the determinants and behavioral intention as the consequence. Background: Among the generational cohorts, millennials are a demanding target group for many retailers, including restaurants. Despite many studies examining millennial behavior in the restaurant context, almost no research on millennial attitudes and behavior in the context of online food home delivery service can be found. Methodology: For this research, 332 millennials completed a self-administered survey in Indonesia. To assess the associations between satisfaction and its determinants and consequences, this study employs Partial Least Square modeling. Contribution: This research extends existing knowledge of millennial satisfaction toward online food delivery service by highlighting that food quality, e-service quality and perceived value are the main determinants of satisfaction for online food purchasing among millennials. Further, this study offers support for the spillover theory in the online food home delivery service from millennial perspective. Findings: This study uncovers the important direct dual influences of e-service quality and food quality on millennial satisfaction with online food delivery services. Further, this study notes that e-service and food quality also have an indirect influence on satisfaction via perceived value. Moreover, satisfied millennial customers are more likely to re-purchase, recommend to others, and re-purchase at an increased price. Recommendations for Practitioners: For small and medium restaurants, it is suggested that they need to focus solely on their core business of providing food. If they want to offer an e-service, they should develop strategic cooperation with one or more online service providers. Recommendation for Researchers: Millennials tend to repurchase, recommend, and be willing to pay more in the future extends the existing models that look at the associations among quality, satisfaction and behavioral intention. Thus, in online restaurant purchasing services, both e-service quality and food quality should be included in the future research models. Impact on Society: This study could help restaurant industries to increase their business performance and, indirectly, impact on society as a whole by providing high quality food, employment opportunities, and tax revenues. Future Research: Future researchers can reassess the model in different countries and/or with other generation cohorts as well as including other variables such as trust, image, involvement, as well as socio-demographic factors.

In this era of technology, the development and explosion of the internet has created the online business platform for the services and products. One of the areas is the food delivery services. With development of mobile applications for food delivery, it has eased the process of delivering the ordered food, and at the same time create convenience to the beverage industry (Wang et al., 2019). The outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic in early last year has impacted everyone's daily life and resulted in pandemic control measures such as Movement Control Order (MCO) by the Malaysian government around the country. This change has required Malaysian to engage with new norms such as wearing masks, physical distancing and hand hygiene in their daily life. The pandemic has also sparked a new consumption pattern in society. Many people have opted for food delivery services and thus inflated the demand of food delivery service in Malaysia. Hence, understanding customer satisfaction towards the mobile food delivery apps is essential. There are several studies on the customer satisfaction towards online food delivery service during the COVID-19 pandemic (Prasetyo et al., 2021; Rahim & Yunus, 2021). Pasetyo et al. (2021) investigated the customer satisfaction and loyalty from the extended Theory of Planned Behaviour perspective. Meanwhile Rahim and Yunus (2021) examined the relationship between service quality, food quality and price of e-hailing food delivery service. However, these studies did not examine the effect of convenience and website quality on consumers satisfaction toward the mobile food delivery apps. Based on these, this study aims to examine the influence of the factors, namely service quality, convenience, price and website quality on customer satisfaction towards the mobile food delivery apps during the COVID-19 pandemic in Malaysia.

The crisis ignited by COVID-19 has transformed the volume and composition of waste generation and requires a dynamic response from policy makers. This study selected Bangkok as a case study to semi-quantitatively examine the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on consumer-generated food and plastic waste by examining changes in lifestyles and consumption behaviour through a face-to-face questionnaire survey. Travel bans and diminished economic activity due to COVID-19 have led to a dramatic reduction in waste from the business sector and in the total amount of municipal waste generated. However, the results of the survey showed that both food and plastic waste generated by households in Bangkok increased during COVID-19. The shift from eating out to online food delivery services led to an increase in plastic bags, hot-and-cold food bags, plastic food containers, and food waste. Reasons for the increase in household food waste during COVID-19 varied, with respondents citing excessive amounts of food and unappetising taste, followed by exceeding the expiration date and rotting/foul odours. These reasons may be the result of the inability to predict quantity and quality when ordering online, and inadequate food planning and management by consumers. To achieve more effective food and plastic waste management, home delivery services, consumer food planning and management, and the formation of a circular economy based on localised supply chains may be considered as important intervention points.

The number of internet users currently in Indonesia is increasingly growing, along with the development of the times and technology. One of them is the provision of food delivery services. In this research, researchers have the aim to describe how far the influence of the consumer buying experience on satisfaction and the desire to buy back online at Go Food in Surabaya. This research data was obtained through distributing questionnaires to 70 respondents using the accidental sampling method for ordering GoFood in Surabaya, who often bought using GoFood online at least three times in a period of 2 months. The data testing technique used in this research is Partial Least Square. The research proves that buying experience and online customer satisfaction sometimes does not provide a stimulus to repurchase consumers. However, optimal customer satisfaction can result in repurchases on a product or service provided. This is because buying experience and customer satisfaction does not guarantee consumers to buy back a product. However, if consumers are satisfied, consumers will spontaneously make repeat purchases. Even if consumers are satisfied, consumers will indirectly promote products to other consumers.

The COVID-19 pandemic has engendered a new era throughout the globe in which online food delivery apps have become a significant aspect of an individual's everyday life. This study intends to probe into the nature and patterns of consumer behavior with regard to using online food delivery services during the pandemic. While most of the existing studies focus on the general aspects of consumer behavior regarding food delivery apps, this paper aims to understand what factors motivated consumers in Bangladesh to behave in certain patterns while deciding to or not to avail app-based food delivery services during a major global crisis. Data have been collected from both primary and secondary sources, with 552 participants responding to a structured questionnaire. The study revealed that a moderately large group of people used food delivery apps, especially between June and August, by placing their trust in the food delivery companies, the restaurants and the deliverymen while the rest of the population was not as confident. The minds of the second group of consumers were heavily shrouded in uncertainty regarding whether the deliverymen, restaurants or delivery companies could be trusted with following all the required safety precautions while providing their service. In future, the findings of this study will, therefore, help the food delivery companies and the restaurants to understand the importance of adopting and following stricter health and safety measures to avoid losing business during a global pandemic.
