Empirical data were obtained from a sample of 400 consumers who ordered food online. Data from questionnaires were analyzed by using structural equation statistics. Results indicate the congruity and harmony between the model and the empirical data as illustrated
as c² = 67.79, df=51, P = 0.057, c² /df=1.32, RMSEA=0.046, RMR=0.002, CFI=1.00, GFI=0.98. In addition, variables in the model account for 82 percent of the variance of service quality. The results point out that a service quality is influenced most strongly by performance expectancy, followed by marketing mix and intention to use technology. As a result, sellers should give priority to performance expectancy, in particular, the one concerning technology efficiency. For example, a food delivery application must not be complicated to use and time for confirming purchase orders must be reasonable. Service staff should also be available to provide timely help.
