Impact of Gender and Age on Catering Service Consumers’ Preferences

Summary/Abstract: The main objective of the project was to check whether there take place between catering service consumers differences in terms of gender and/or age. In the survey, there was used the RPB (restaurant preferences-behaviour) model which consists of 34 statements grouped within the framework of five factors determining consumers’ choices in the market for catering services. The surveys were carried out by the method of face-to-face interview and the interviewees expressed their degree of acceptance for each of the statements in the scale from 1 to 5. It was stated that in the surveyed group of respondents the differences in terms of age took place in four of five factors, components of the RPB model, whereas in terms of gender – only in one. There were also identified elements of the factor (question), in terms of which there takes place the biggest number of differences. The obtained data are a supplement to the existing research as regards preferences in the market for catering services and they are a good starting point both to formulate research hypotheses in future research surveys and to carry out consumers segmentation in the practical activities of catering facilities.
