In just one sentence, the basic information of this satisfaction survey was conveyed to customers.

Part 1  Overall Satisfaction

   12345 (very dissatisfied - very satisfied)

2. Are you willing to visit this restaurant again?

   12345 (very unwilling - very willing)

3. Would you recommend this restaurant to people around you?

   12345 (very unwilling - very willing)

These three questions fully reflect the customer's overall experience. It includes an evaluation of the restaurant's overall satisfaction, willingness to visit again, and willingness to recommend. At the same time, a 1-5 rating scale is used, which not only allows customers to give ratings intuitively, but also allows customers to compare satisfaction levels in different aspects and find relatively weak links. The design of the 5-level rating scale is very intuitive and clear, and customers can quickly give their own evaluations, reducing the burden of answering. At the same time, clear scoring criteria such as "very dissatisfied - very satisfied" also help customers give accurate evaluations.

Part 2  Food Quality

4. How satisfied are you with the taste of the dishes?

   12345 (very dissatisfied - very satisfied)

   12345 (very dissatisfied - very satisfied)

6. How satisfied are you with the portion of the dishes?

All of the above are the core elements of restaurant service. These three questions directly focus on the quality of dishes that customers care about most, including taste, freshness and portion. Three specific dimensions are evaluated. This segmentation helps restaurants analyze the problems more accurately and formulate targeted improvement measures. This part is very important. These specific dimensions can be formulated according to different industries and services. For example, the customer satisfaction survey of after-sales service of products can be:

1. When you encounter problems during use, can the after-sales service staff respond in time?

These environmental factors are directly felt by customers during the dining process and are key factors affecting customer experience. This can provide a more comprehensive understanding of customers' evaluation of the restaurant environment.

Compared with the single ratings in the previous parts, this question allows customers to directly express their opinions and suggestions, which is more targeted at the specific problems and shortcomings of the restaurant. This design can collect richer and deeper customer feedback. Similarly, taking the after-sales service customer satisfaction survey as an example, the fifth part of the suggestions and feedback can be set up like this:
