The purpose of this research is to explore the relationship between the level of emphasis on service quality and level of satisfaction of university cafeterias. This research has adopted the questionnaire survey approach, targeting a population of 14,649 students from the day division, the Continuing Education division, and Continuing Education College at a certain university. 600 questionnaire were randomly distributed and 508 qualified samples were collected. Using the Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) approach, the service advantages and disadvantages of the school cafeteria are identified. Based on which, a set of marketing strategies suitable for the management of the university and the cafeteria are established, which may serve as a basis for improvement of service qualify. The results of this research find that there is an obvious variance between students’ quality and actual perceived quality towards the school cafeteria, i.e. gap 5 exists in the P.Z.B. model. The operator or the school cafeteria should review the appropriateness of the resources introduced. Furthermore, items that can enhance students’ perceived quality include: (1) dress and appearance of service personnel, (2) professionalism displayed by service personnel, (3) take-out service, and (4) design of the menu signboard. Based on these results, this research will submit suggestions to the management of the university and the operator of the cafeteria as reference for improvement of operational management and service quality.
