Abstract

This study examines the impact of the physical environment on customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions in quick-service restaurants (QSRs) and gas stations. The purpose is to investigate how atmospherics such as layout, lighting, and decor influence customer perceptions and behaviors across these service environments. A quantitative approach was employed, utilizing a structured questionnaire administered to 400 respondents. They are customers of gas station food service outlets in Klang Valley. Findings reveal a significant positive correlation between favorable food quality, service quality, service convenience, and atmosphere towards customer perspective, and intention to revisit QSRs in the gas stations. The implications suggest that managers in these sectors should prioritize enhancing their physical surroundings to improve customer experience and loyalty. This study contributes to the literature by offering empirical insights into the role of ambiance beyond traditional service factors in influencing consumer behavior across diverse service contexts.
