Abstract: This study measured consumers' perceptions of attitudes toward the appearance of staff. In addition, the effectiveness of such attitudes to satisfaction and revisit intention were measured. The data were collected via surveys in 2017 in the Republic of Korea. A total of 212 responses were analysed and divided into two groups based on the perceived attractiveness of staff appearance and uniform. Significant differences were found in the perceived attitudes between low and high facial attractiveness as well as low and high uniform attractiveness. In both cases, visual satisfaction influenced the consumer's revisit intention. The results of this study will help improve consumer satisfaction by influencing perceived attitudes toward the appearance of staff and uniform. Understanding consumers' attitudes toward staff appearance would help increase satisfaction and revisit intention.
