Abstract

This study investigated the influence of consumers’ corporate social responsibility (CSR) perception of the restaurants that offer nutritional information on their menu on customer satisfaction and loyalty to the restaurants and the mediating roles of brand trust and customer satisfaction in the picture. A SEM technique was used to analyze 360 responses collected from a survey in the US. The findings implicate that brand trust in the restaurant is a major benefit for the restaurants from offering nutritional information, yet customer satisfaction seems to be a necessary condition to establish loyalty at the same time.
