The principal objective of this study was to assess the behavior of customers who visit hotel buffet restaurants. This information will provide us with a good marketing strategy, allowing us to control for different customer characteristics and focus on giving marketers useful clues that make it easy to understand the selective attributes for hotel buffet restaurants. Thus, the application of selective attributes is predicated on the results of the analysis. Additionally, this survey was completed by regular customers. The following are the concrete results of the study. First of all, customer's behaviors differ radically with the selective attributes of hotel buffet restaurants. The most crucial factors were found to be "quality of food", "hygiene & cleanliness", and "service". These factors have nothing to do with customer characteristics & demographic features. "Opinions of their relatives, colleagues" and "experience of restaurants" are all sources that substantially influence the selective attributes of restaurants and this is the only way to survive the ever-changing market situation. Finally, hotel buffet restaurants generally attempt to lure customers with healthy food, special corners, fresh vegetables, and fresh sashimi, as compared to the services provided by hotel outlets. According to upgrade service quality & restaurant interior, also, buffet restaurants tend to provide guests with a more charming. Food service companies should consider the question "what really is service?" and thus seek to provide a variety of events.

본 연구는 호텔 뷔페레스토랑과 독립 뷔페레스토랑 이용객을 대상으로 뷔페레스토랑 선택속성 중요도-만족도 분석과 만족도가 추천의도에 미치는 영향력을 분석함으로써 호텔 및 독립 뷔페레스토랑의 마케팅 전략 수립의 기초를 제공하는데 목적을 두었다. 따라서 호텔 뷔페레스토랑과 독립 뷔페레스토랑을 이용한 경험자를 대상으로 2016년 4월 15일부터 5월 4일 기간 동안 SNS 설문과 대면 설문을 병행실시하였으며, 독립 뷔페레스토랑 86부, 호텔 뷔페레스토랑 82부를 회수하였으며, 부적절한 설문지 8부를 제외한 나머지 설문지 160부를 유효표본수로 분석하였다. 연구결과, 4분면에 나타난 선택속성이 호텔과 독립 뷔페레스토랑에서 차이를 보였으며, 또한, 선택속성에 대한 만족도가 추천의도에 미치는 영향에 대한 분석에서는 호텔 뷔페레스토랑은 음식의 품질과 메뉴가 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 독립 뷔페레스토랑은 음식의 품질만 정(+)의 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과로 비추어볼 때 호텔 뷔페레스토랑이 호텔이라는 프리미엄과 브랜드만이 아니라, 뷔페레스토랑의 변화에 맞추어 지속적인 메뉴 개발과 호텔의 장점을 살릴 수 있는 전략을 개발하여 고객들의 니즈를 주도해 나가야 할 것이다. 또한, 다양한 디저트 제공을 다시 고려해 볼 필요도 있어 보인다.

For the hotel industry, the situations having difficulties in management are becoming we planed by the rises of the cost and labor costs, the imbalance between supply and demand, stiffening competitions between the hotels. Therefore, there has been a plan for a great change to attract customers, escaping from the existing form of management in order to secure competitive powers in the food and beverage field. For that purpose, we plan to investigate into the preference of buffet restaurants in ten 5star hotels in Seoul. By the analysis, we also plan to present the menu concepts that stand out and are preferred by the customers in managing semi-buffet restaurants. Therefore, the linear and planar coordinate values of the H Hotels and I Hotels came out both positive(+) as results of a similarity analysis using MOS, we can predict that they would be positioning on the same dimension. Furthermore we can predict that the menu of antipasto, sushi, sashimi and desserts would be positioning on the same dimension as a result of analysis of the most preferred menu by customers for each station in managing a semi-buffet restaurant.

This examination was conducted as follows; 189 copies were coated in total, and demonstratively analyzed by SPSS WIN 15.0 program. The methods used in data for this analysis are as follows; Sensitivity, Reliability, Frequency, Internal consistency, One way ANOVA(Scheffe's examination) Analysis, T-test, etc. The findings of this study are as follows; firstly, it was revealed that respondents who were regular customers of Italian restaurants regarded convenient transportation, property of space, property of pastoral, visibility, and accessibility as importance. This means that Italian restaurant marketers should consider some of factors of location for business with a good view, good parking lot, location at main street, smooth flow of traffic, luxury, atmosphere of freedom, clean area around restaurants, elegant interior of the building, comfortable, luxurious, and deluxe atmosphere, and so on. Secondly, it was revealed that respondents who were regular customers of buffet restaurant either considered the same factors as the Italian restaurants above or regarded those factors less important. This suggests that restaurants should be located on main streets, on trunk roads, and in large-scale residential districts of apartment complex. Thirdly, it was revealed that respondents who were regular customers of traditional restaurants did not consider the locational factors above. This shows that traditional restaurants should be located in nearby customers' houses or their working places, and that marketers should consider focusing on their restaurants' homelike atmosphere, cleanliness, food flavors, and so on.
