According to the exploratory factor analysis results, the factor load of each item is over .60, The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin Measure of sampling adequacy was .792 and the Bartlett’s Test of Sphericity was 2943,910 (p < .000). All factors with eigenvalues above one together explained 67.674% of the total variance. Cronbach's Alpha (coefficient of reliability) was calculated as .825. According to the confirmatory factor analysis results, within the framework of goodness of fit criteria, the relationships in the model were found to be well consistent with the sample data (Chi-Square Fit Test (x2 / sd) value; 2.91, CFI = 0.94, NFI = 0.92, RMSA = 0.07 GFI = 0.94, AGFI = 0.91). AVE scores are between 0.55 and 0.78 and composite reliability values are between 0.81 and 0.91. According to the findings of the research, customers show the behavior of recommending and providing feedback to the restaurant, then helping other customers and at least tolerating the restaurant.
