Improving the delivery performance: a case study applying statistical approaches for brasilian fast food

Purpose - Brazilian demand for a faster way of food feeding is growing and delays in delivery time impair customer satisfaction. Although food delivery apps are popular, the work aims to find the root causes of delays at a popular pizzeria in the Brazilian State of São Paulo, highlighting that the pizza manufacturing processes are the same as in past years. Design/methodology/approach - An anonymous survey conducted with the customers showed the key points of improvement for pizzerias in the city where the pizzeria was located. Data was collected from the pizzeria in question, so its non-compliances could be identified and further investigated using statistical analysis. Findings - The results showed a strong correlation between delivery time and the hour of order. Deliveries were faster on Monday compared to the other days of the week, possibly due to a reduced number of orders on this day, but it doesn’t explain the fact that Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, which also had low numbers of orders, had high delivery times. This research work intends also to show that the process of the coming order is standard by apps, but the pizza manufacturing process is not. It means the concept of service quality is not reached during a period. Originality/value - This work has shown that applying quality tools and statistical analysis can bring advantages even for small food service companies. Other establishments that suffer from similar problems could also use the strategies for solving the delays.

Analysis of COVID-19-Related User Content on the Baseball Bulletin Board in 2020 through Text Mining.

The world engaged in online sport watching during COVID-19. Fortunately, in Taiwan, the pandemic was stably controlled in 2020, allowing for the continuation of the Chinese Professional Baseball League (CPBL); this attracted international attention and encouraged relevant discussions on social media in Taiwan. In the present study, through text mining, we analyzed user content (e.g., the concepts of sports service quality and social identity) on the Professional Technology Temple (PTT) baseball board-the largest online bulletin board system in Taiwan. A predictive model was constructed to assess PTT users' COVID-19-related comments in 2020. A total of 422 articles and 21,167 comments were retrieved. PTT users interacted more frequently during the closed-door period, particularly during the beginning of the CPBL in April. Effective pandemic prevention, which garnered global attention to the league, generated a sense of national identity among the users, which was strengthened with the development of peripheral products, such as English broadcasting and live broadcasting on Twitch. We used machine learning to develop a chatbot for predicting the attributes of users' comments; this chatbot may improve CPBL teams' understanding of public opinion trends. Our findings may help stakeholders develop tailored programs for online spectators of sports during pandemic situations.

Experience attributes and service quality dimensions of peer-to-peer accommodation in Malaysia

This paper reports the empirical findings of experience attributes and service quality dimensions of peer-to-peer accommodation (P2P) in Malaysia. Data collection was conducted using in-depth interviews, which involved 10 P2P accommodation hosts and 15 P2P accommodation guests. Thematic analysis of the data guided by the concepts of service experience and service quality, revealed that P2P accommodation has four experience dimensions (property/accommodation, hosts, local people/culture, and location) and seven service quality dimensions (home facilities, personal advice, helpfulness, feeling welcome, responsiveness, reliability, and caring). These dimensions differentiate P2P accommodation from other types of accommodation, such as hotels, and are different from those of the SERVQUAL model. Subsequently, a new model, P2PSERVQUAL, is proposed for peer-to-peer accommodation. The findings add to the tourism and hospitality literature on experience attributes and service quality, with implications for the marketing and management of P2P accommodation.

PurposeThe purpose of the article is to examine the concepts of knowledge management strategies, innovation and service quality in information technology companies that have research and development (R&D) departments in the technoparks of research universities.Design/methodology/approachThe research was carried out in information technology companies with R&D departments in the technoparks of universities. Due to the “innovation” focus of the research, 302 engineers were selected by random sampling from engineers working in information technology companies in technoparks, and the prepared scale was sent to them via e-mail. In total, 302 units of data were subjected to path analysis and mediation effect analysis using the SmartPLS program.FindingsIn the research, it is supported by hypotheses that both knowledge management strategies and organizational innovation have a positive effect on the success of service quality and product innovation in information technology companies with R&D departments. At the same time, it can be explained as a result of analysis that innovation capability has both an independent and an intermediary variable effect.Research limitations/implicationsConsidering the limitations of the research, it is not correct to generalize the results of the analysis because the research was conducted only in information technology companies located in technoparks, and the data were collected from engineers working in these companies. For this reason, it is recommended that similar studies that are planned to be conducted in the future should do their research by taking this situation into account. At the same time, it is recommended to carry out future studies in different sectors and to bring the results obtained to the literature by comparing them.Practical implicationsThe importance of information is increasing in technology-oriented companies where competition is increasing. Companies that cannot go beyond imitation or offer similar products and/or services cannot compete with their competitors in a competitive environment. The fact that companies can be successful in a competitive environment is supported by hypotheses as a result of the analysis that they need to develop organizational innovation and knowledge, as well as develop innovation capability at the same time.Originality/valueThe research is an original study in terms of examining the R&D departments of information technology companies operating in the technoparks of universities. Innovation and knowledge management strategies are examined within the scope of the research model by collecting data from information technology companies with R&D departments.
