ABSTRACT

This study aimed to reveal the values hidden in the unconscious of cafe customers' by utilizing the ZMET technique. Following the ZMET technique procedure, a 10 step conversation was executed to extrapolate the hidden desired values of 15 frequent cafe users. The most important values derived from the ZMET technique were ‘comfort’, ‘being one with nature’, ‘ostenta- tiousness’, ‘leisureliness’, and ‘just for myself’. In particular, a hidden value of ‘ostentatiousness’, appeared through the ZMET technique. It was also found that many respondents pursued the feeling of being together with nature in a cafe. The results of this study provide a deeper understanding of how cafe customers view different attributes of a cafe. These findings could enable cafe operators to develop marketing strategies to attract more customers.
