2021. However, as is known, the COVID-19 pandemic has seriously changed how
consumers behave when making purchases and has harmed the food and beverage business
(Eger, Komárková, Egerová, & Mičík, 2021). The restriction of physical distance led
consumers to avoid going outside and dining out less in order to minimize the spread of
COVID-19 (Kim & Lee, 2020). Hence, business must enhance the marketing strategy in
order to survive in the current situation and adapt to consumer demands at home. Enhancing
the digital consumer experience in particular by providing a practical online menu either
using websites or food ordering platforms (Brewer & Sebby, 2021).
Menus are a marketing strategy used by restaurants to influence specific consumer
perceptions (McCall & Lynn, 2008). Menu design offers the chance to define the value that
the brand anticipates from buyers. Businesses should be aware of consumer preferences
while buying food in order to enhance the shopping experience for customers and increase
revenue (Peters & Remaud, 2020). Restaurants must create consumer-friendly online
menus as a result. To assist consumers in making decisions, these menus might be displayed
on websites or online food ordering platforms (Doanh, Do Dinh, & Quynh, 2022). Thus,
this study examined o ne of the food and beverage (F&B) establishments in Indonesia using
online menus which is Kopi Kenangan.
Kopi Kenangan is one of Indonesia's fastest-growing grab-and-go coffee chains,
managed to open in 2017 (Marie & Budi, 2020). In just 4 years, Kopi Kenangan has
expanded quickly and survived a pandemic by sustaining both online and offline business.
Since Kopi Kenangan engages in online sales, they work to make their products available
on a variety of platforms, such as the applications for Kopi Kenangan and Go-food, Grab-
food, Shopee-food, and other e-commerce websites. Thus, Kopi Kenangan has a menu that
provided online on various platforms.
In order to present the menu to consumer, the Kopi Kenangan have to take concern
about menu information and visual design. It is in line with the suggestion by Jones & Mifll
(2001) that menu must have two different meanings. First, the variety of foods and
beverages that the restaurant offers. Second, it refers to a display that a restaurant uses to
inform consumers about its menu. The two suggested interpretations are hence the focus of
this investigation. This study evaluates how the visual design and informative content of
the Kopi Kenangan menu affect customers' purchase intentions by referring them to the S-
O-R model.
RESEARCH METHOD
Survey instrument and measures
This survey instrument is divided into two parts: screening questions and variable
questions related to menu appeal and information, food desires, COVID-19 risk perception,
perceived convenience in OFDs, and questions about purchase intentions (Gani, Faroque,
Muzareba, Amin, & Rahman, 2021). The survey instruments used in this study for every
variable were all adapted from prior study by Brewer & Sebby (2021). The Five-Likert
scale was required to measure each item on the questionnaire (1 = strongly disagree; 5 =
strongly agree). The survey included respondents’ socio-demographics such as gender, age,
area of origin, personal monthly food expense, marital status, employment status, and
experience in purchasing Kopi Kenangan online. The measurement items used in this study
were adopted from the research of Brewer & Sebby (2021) as shown in Fig1.
Data collection
This study employed a quantitative approach using an online survey method in an
attempt to reduce direct contact with respondents during the COVID-19 pandemic. Google
Forms was employed to conduct the online survey. The online questionnaires are delivered
through WhatsApp, Line, and Instagram particularly by having a chat with each respondent
