An Investigation into the Change in Customer Complaints about Takeaway during COVID-19

Abstract

The study examined the change in customer complaints about takeaway during COVID-19. The data of the study were obtained from www.sikayetvar.com by scanning the complaints of customers who ordered food online from www.yemeksepeti.com. In order to reach meaningful statistical results in line with the purpose of the study, a total of 800 complaints were reviewed, 400 of which were backward and 400 of which were forward from March 21, 2020. The reviewed data were coded in two groups as before COVID-19 and during COVID-19. The codes created in the light of the studies in the literature on the subject were determined as payment, speed, taste, hygiene, health, heat, incomplete delivery, behaviour, and return, respectively. According to the frequency analysis, while the first five rankings in customer complaints before COVID-19 were behaviour, payment, speed, return, and incomplete delivery, it was determined that this order was ranked as taste, hygiene, speed, health and heat during COVID-19. It was revealed that the biggest difference in percentage change in the customer complaints based on gender during COVID-19 was in health, speed, and hygiene respectively, and women were found to be more sensitive to these issues than men.
