in order to increase sales revenue and customers’ average check, understanding
how to encourage customers’ impulse buying behavior is very important.

have any effect on impulse ordering
behavior? Is reference group a factor in impulse ordering behavior? Whether customers’ personality traits play a
role in their impulse ordering
behavior? These questions are important but remain understanding in existing literature.
