Research Concept: 4P: Product , Price, Place, Promotion STP: Segmentation, Targeting, Positioning Consumer Behavior

Literature Review We got inspiration from

《為何速食店老推套餐 ? 》作者馬渡晃（ Mawatari Akira ）

速食店為何老推套餐？答案是「因為以套餐方式銷售，可以降低變動

成本」。為什麼呢？把飲料、薯條和漢堡相比，前者的成本相對較

低。因此，若要達到相同金額的營收，只要控管薯條及飲料支出的變

動成本，比漢堡來得更低，邊際利益自然增加許多，便可輕鬆的達成

目標。

Translation<Why combo is always a good idea for fast food store?>

Hamburger is the main product of fast food restaurant, but its cost is much higher than the fries and drinks. It’s difficult to make profit by primarily selling hamburgers.

Therefore, the fast food restaurant brings in money by increasing the price of fries and drinks. Selling combo can stimulate sale numbers and promote the affiliated products because combo effectively lowers the variable cost. That’s the reason why combo is always a good idea for fast food store.

Hypothesis

H1: Customers will choose the combo set for

two people due to its food variety in spite

of the higher price.

H2: Customers will choose the combo set for

two people because they can eat more food

with less money.

H3: Customers will choose the combo set for two people because the advertisement is attractive.H4: The double sharing meal will better attract specific group of people who eat with friends.H5: People who have higher allowance for food will order the double-sharing meal.

Methodology First, we focus the correspondents on the campus of NCTU.

Our target customer will be the students, the faculty of school,

and some visitors in the campus.

Second, we apply the method both in person questionnaires and online surveys to interview people’s opinion on the Moss Burger’s promotion projects. We give out the questionnaires in front of that store during lunch time and we collect about 50 samples from the customers.

The main questions will be focused on the three different type meals with different discounts.

In person questionnaires are designed in both close and open questions. Besides, there are online questionnaires is be post on the NCTU BBS board to collect opinions.

After collecting all the data, we analyze the result to testify our hypothesis.

Conclusion

Food variety and attractive advertisements are indeed the main factors which motivate people to order the double-sharing meal.

However, in NCTU, most people have meal alone; therefore, people seldom order the meal since the combo set is mainly for two people.

→ too much to eat for one person!

Nevertheless, if go to MOS Burger

with friends, customers’ motivation to order the meal will enhance.

People have more money on food allowance will order the meal.

→not really!

Reasons:

Food quantity is too little, and they cannot

choose the side treats they actually want.

Customers are not satisfied with the meal, thus cannot effectively increase the total sales of MOS Burger.

Reasons:→the value of the meal does not worth that price, and

the fixed dishes of it does not catch the really wants of customers.

The meal is not a good promotion in NCTU. Reason:→ the single dining habit of interviewees reduce the

motive.

Enhance the motivation of customers

Lowers the price of the double-sharing meal. Increase the quantity and choices of food. Then, there will be more people willing to

order the combo. Subsequently improves the possibility of sales

increase.
