Abstract

This paper investigates the factors shaping dining-out preferences, focusing on the allocation of monthly weekday dinner occasions across four key restaurant segments: quick-service restaurants (QSRs), coffeehouses (CHs), casual-service restaurants (CSRs), and full-service restaurants (FSRs). The paper employs a Multiple Discrete-Count Extreme Value (MDCNTEV) modeling approach to analyze the data obtained from an online survey conducted in Texas in 2022. The findings reveal the compromises and considerations consumers make when determining their dining habits. Model estimation results indicate that frequent restaurant diners are white, affluent, single men, own multiple vehicles, and work full-time from a physical workplace location. There are also notable differences in those who tend to patronize different restaurant segments. QSRs attract younger, non-white, low-income individuals living with roommates, and residing in QSR-dense areas. CHs primarily draw in younger, non-white, working individuals. CSRs are favored by older individuals, single white women, car-less individuals, and residents of high-restaurant-density areas. FSRs are popular among non-white, high-income individuals. Our findings highlight the multifaceted interactions of demographic, socioeconomic, lifestyle, and location factors influencing consumer dining behavior, offering valuable insights for the transportation and urban planning, public health, and food service sectors.

不同类型餐厅的外出就餐行为:对交通、公共卫生和餐饮业的影响
本文研究了影响外出就餐偏好的因素,重点关注每月工作日晚餐次数在四个主要餐厅细分市场中的分配情况:快餐店(QSRs)、咖啡馆(CHs)、休闲服务餐厅(CSRs)和全套服务餐厅(FSRs)。本文采用多重离散计数极值(MDCNTEV)建模方法,分析了 2022 年在得克萨斯州进行的在线调查所获得的数据。研究结果揭示了消费者在决定其就餐习惯时所做出的妥协和考虑。模型估算结果表明,经常去餐厅用餐的人是白人、富裕、单身男性、拥有多辆汽车、在实际工作地点全职工作。此外,倾向于光顾不同餐厅细分市场的人群也存在明显差异。QSR 吸引的是与室友同住、居住在 QSR 密集地区的年轻、非白人、低收入人群。CH主要吸引年轻、非白人、有工作的人。CSR 则受到老年人、单身白人女性、无车一族以及餐馆密集地区居民的青睐。FSR 则受到非白人、高收入人群的青睐。我们的研究结果凸显了影响消费者就餐行为的人口、社会经济、生活方式和地理位置等多方面因素的相互作用,为交通与城市规划、公共卫生和餐饮服务部门提供了宝贵的见解。

期刊介绍: Transportation Research: Part A contains papers of general interest in all passenger and freight transportation modes: policy analysis, formulation and evaluation; planning; interaction with the political, socioeconomic and physical environment; design, management and evaluation of transportation systems. Topics are approached from any discipline or perspective: economics, engineering, sociology, psychology, etc. Case studies, survey and expository papers are included, as are articles which contribute to unification of the field, or to an understanding of the comparative aspects of different systems. Papers which assess the scope for technological innovation within a social or political framework are also published. The journal is international, and places equal emphasis on the problems of industrialized and non-industrialized regions. Part A''s aims and scope are complementary to Transportation Research Part B: Methodological, Part C: Emerging Technologies and Part D: Transport and Environment. Part E: Logistics and Transportation Review. Part F: Traffic Psychology and Behaviour. The complete set forms the most cohesive and comprehensive reference of current research in transportation science.
