Abstract:
This study aims to study the marketing factors influencing restaurant entrepreneurs in the Nimmanhaemin Road area regarding their intention to use electronic payment systems. The study was conducted through a survey using questionnaires to collect data from a sample of 100 participants, consisting of restaurant owners or managers who are currently using electronic payment systems. The statistical methods used for data analysis included frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and multiple regression analysis. The results indicate that the majority of respondents operate their businesses as legal entities (limited partnerships, limited liability partnerships, or companies) and have been in operation for 1-5 years. Most businesses have a monthly turnover exceeding 200,000 baht and employ between 6-15 employees. The primary reasons for adopting electronic payment systems include increasing opportunities, boosting sales, enhancing profits, and expanding sales channels. Regarding usage behavior, most respondents regularly used electronic payment services from a single bank, with banks being the primary source of information for selecting a system. The frequency of purchasing electronic payment systems was typically once every 12 years. The hypothesis testing results indicated that personal factors, pricing, and distribution channels significantly influenced restaurant entrepreneurs intention to use electronic payment systems at a significance level of 0.05. However, organizational factors, marketing promotion factors, environmental factors, product factors, and interpersonal factors did not significantly impact their overall intention to use electronic payment systems.
