본 연구는 스마트폰 맛집 앱에 대한 서비스품질(정보성, 유용성, 이동성, 신뢰성, 공감성)과 사용후기 특성(사용후기 동의성, 사용후기 유용성)이 맛집 앱을 이용한 후의 만족과 재이용의도에 미치는 영향관계를 검증하여 외식업체들이 스마트폰 앱을 통해 효과적인 마케팅 전략을 구축할 수 있도록 유용한 정보를 제공하고자 한다. 본 연구의 자료수집을 위해 2015년 9월 15일부터 10월 30일까지 설문조사를 실시하였으며, 편의표본추출법에 의해 스마트폰 맛집 앱 이용자를 대상으로 조사를 진행하였다. 설문지는 312부를 배포하였으며, 이 중 유효한 자료 295부를 분석에 사용하였고, 가설검증을 위해 구조모형분석을 실시하였다. 분석결과, 첫째, 맛집 앱에 대한 서비스품질 중 신뢰성, 공감성, 유용성이 맛집 앱만족에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타난 반면, 정보성과 이동성은 맛집 앱만족에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 둘째, 사용후기 특성 중 사용후기 동의성만이 맛집 앱만족에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났으며, 사용후기 유용성은 맛집 앱만족에 유의한 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 셋째, 맛집 앱만족은 재이용의도에 유의한 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다.
