INTRODUCTION
Modern society is characterized by high working activity and the opportunity to be able to work for anyone who has the competence without discrimination. These activities have an impact on the ba-nyaknya career working women or spend time outdoors, so that difficulties in performing activities as a housewife including the supply of food for the family. Family group with enough economy tend to choose foods outside the restaurant, besides taste delicious too much once offered a large menu and a nice atmosphere.
In line with the increase in customers, the restaurateur also have risen sharply. Even a common phenomenon since the crisis hit Indonesia is mushrooming restaurants, either permanent or in a tent. Increased consumer may not even comparable to the increase in the number and types of restaurants.
These conditions require the restaurateur to think about strategies to get and retain customers (Dekimpe et al, 1997; Chan et al, 2001).
Keep customers in touch with customer satisfaction. Kotler (2000) mentions satisfaction is feeling happy or disappointed someone who comes from the comparison between the impression of the performance (results) of a product with expectations. The dissatisfaction is a kind of step comparison between the results of the evaluation experience, can produce something that is comfortable spiritually, not just convenient because imagined or are supposed to. Satisfied or dissatisfied rupakan not his emotions but rather something the evaluation of emotions.
Research on consumers' satisfaction become a central topic in the world of market research and developing rapidly. The concept of thinking that will lead to greater customer satisfaction profit is that satisfied customers would be willing to pay more for the "product" is received and will be more tolerant of price increases. This course will improve its margins and customer loyalty to the company. Satisfied consumers will buy the "product" being sold by another company, as well as a "marketer" Effective Word of mouth through the air-a positive tone (Ganesh et al, 2000).
This can help increase your sales and credibility of the company, but keep in mind that in fact increase market share is not for her as evidenced by increased customer satisfaction, and even in many cases or cases that is precisely kebali it, the greater the market share a corporation instead consumers satisfaction decreases. Increased market share, at least to a certain extent, it can achieve economies of scale (usually companies achieve the most optimal titk). As a result, the company can provide "relatively cheap" on consumers who became one of the factors of satisfaction: but on the other hand, the increased number of consumers or the expansion segments can lead to tu-runnya justified, service quality rikan. This concept is crucial for companies engaged in the services sector.
Customer satisfaction can also generate customer loyalty. Loya-litas consumers can generally be defined as loyalty to a person on a product, either goods or services. Consumer loyalty is a manifestation and continuation of customer satisfaction in using the facilities and services provided by the company, as well as to remain a customer of the company too call.

Consumer loyalty to a particular brand of product or service depends on several factors, namely the size of the desire to move to a brand of goods or services of another, to the same time the quality, or the quality of service of this type of substitute goods or services, the risk of changes in costs due to substitute goods or services, and air change that level of satisfaction derived from the brand new compared to the previous experience of the brand ever used.
Consumers in meeting the needs and desires, will buy the product with the brand. If the selected brand that consumers can satisfy their needs and desires, then the consumer will have a memory that in the brand. In these circumstances the consumer loyalty will begin to emerge and flourish.
And in a subsequent purchase, consumers will choose the product with the brand that has given him satisfaction, resulting in a repetitive purchase of the brand.

These results are consistent with previous theory (Reichheld and Sasser, 1990; Reichheld, 1993; Sheth and Parvatiyar, 1995; Bearden and Teel, 1983; LaBarbera and Mazursky, 1983; Kasper, 1988; Bloemer and Lemmink, 1992, Cronin and Taylor, 1992 ; Fornell, 1992; Oliva, et al, 1992; Anderson and Sullivan, 1993; Bloemer and Kasper, 1993, 1995; Boulding, et al, 1993; Oliver, 1999).
Constant values
​​for 0733, meaning that every unit increase in other factors (other than customer satisfaction) will increase their loyalty towards for 0733. The increase in other factors, such as business performance (Reichheld and Sasser, 1990; Reichheld, 1993; Sheth and Parvatiyar, 1995), switching costs (Bearden and Teel, 1983; LaBarbera and Mazursky, 1983; Kasper, 1988; Bloemer and Lemmink, 1992; Cronin and Taylor, 1992; Fornell, 1992; Oliva, Oliver, MacMillan, 1992, Anderson and Sullivan, 1993; Bloemer and Kasper, 1993, 1995; Boulding, Kalra, Staelin, Zeithaml, 1993; Oliver, 1999).
Regression coefficient for 0207 product attributes, meaning loyal unit increase in use within the management bias do on these attributes, brand loyalty will increase by 0207.

Second, peru-sahaan must have a way to maintain relationships with customers further by doing a forced loyalty strategies for customers to make purchases again (Kotler 2001).
