Abstrakt: This research conducted three studies to develop a scale for measuring the service quality of fresh food delivery platforms. In Study 1, the scale development stage, a total of 55 items were generated via literature reviews, text mining, and expert interviews. In Study 2, the preliminary assessment stage, the first consumer survey (n = 550) was conducted to purify and refine the items derived from Study 1 using exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Lastly, in Study 3, the second consumer survey (n = 570) was carried out to validate the scale using CFA. Ultimately, Food PlatQual scale, consisting of 25 items with seven dimensions: "information quality", "price", "product assortment", "problem resolution", "delivery quality", "ease of use", and "trendiness". The current study is expected to offer a theoretical basis for future research as well as offer useful managerial implications for sustainable fresh food delivery platform services.
