    No full text
    International audienceLa recherche souligne les effets de la distance sociospatiale entre personnels, clients et co-clients sur la durée et les dépenses d’une expérience de consommation au restaurant. La situation dans laquelle l’ensemble des acteurs du service sont très proches les uns des autres (intrusion) induit une minimisation de la durée de consommation et des dépenses. Une préférence pour une position éloignée tant des personnels que des autres clients est notée, notamment lorsque les individus consomment en groupe. Quatre situations interactionnelles de service – intrusion, convivialité, discrétion et froideur – sont interprétées selon la taille du groupe de clients

    No full text
    This research highlights the effects of socio-spatial distance between frontline employees, customers and co-clients in restaurants on the duration and expense of the consumption experience. Situations in which all those involved are very close to one another (intrusion) reduce both of these variables. The authors note a preference for positions removed both from staff and from fellow customers, especially in the case of individuals consuming as part of a group. Four interactional service situations – intrusion, conviviality, discretion and coldness – are interpreted according to customer group sizes

    International audienceFood waste is a major challenge at an economic, social, ethical and environmental level. Family decision-making dynamics have been little studied in terms of waste and the production of food waste. This chapter presents the roles of family members in relation to food waste and addresses the multifaceted aspects of waste, in line with the stages of the family consumption process. Changes to family functioning, the role and place of different family members in the numerous tasks associated with organizing meals, food shopping and its storage are some of the important factors in waste. A very large majority of consumers decide on at least some of their purchases, particularly food, in situ, that is, when they are in a store. The fight against waste is already being waged in France, particularly within families. The law on combating food waste requires schools to inform and educate their pupils on the fight against food waste

    International audienceWithin the broader field of consumer experience of services, this paper addresses the impact of the size of a group of consumers sharing the same meal experience in a restaurant. This research is based on the quantitative analysis of sales receipts from 2753 restaurants tables. Multinomial logistic regression models and variance analysis show that the individual spend per guest depends on the number of guests per table. They also reveal that the proportion of prix-fixe menus ordered by table (vs. Ă -la-carte) is mostly maximized for meals taken as a couple and minimized for meals taken alone, depending on restaurant settings

A quantitative study indicates that Asian visitors evaluate significantly better than European and North American people, the latter being the most severe.
