dc.description Purpose – This study aimed at investigating factors that contribute to increasing full-service restaurant customers’ behavioral intentions. Unlike previous research, this study integrated both affective and cognitive contributors to customer satisfaction and relationship quality in explaining customers’ behavioral intentions. Design/methodology/approach – Data were obtained through a questionnaire survey of full-service restaurant customers in a selected US metropolitan area. The data were subjected to structural equation modeling through the AMOS 5 program. Findings – Among the nine hypothesized paths, six were supported and three new paths were included to improve the model fit. Affect is noted to be a major contributor to both customer satisfaction and behavioral intentions. Customer satisfaction is a direct antecedent to trust but indirect to commitment. Noteworthy is the direct impact of service encounter performance on customer satisfaction. Research limitations/implications – Despite making use of a sample drawn from only a few selected areas and employing some constructs that are liable to expansion, the study has implications for the hospitality industry from both the theoretical and practical points of view. Originality/value – This study reappraises the contributors to behavioral intentions in restaurant settings, providing valuable insight to managers on attracting and satisfying their customers.
