INTRODUCTION OF TOPIC
Definition:
Customer preference refers to how customers select goods and services in relation to factors like taste, preference and individual choices. Factors such as the consumer's income and price of the goods do not influence the customer's preferred products or services.

Consumer preferences describe the reasons for the choices people make when selecting products and services. Analyzing the factors that determine consumer preferences helps businesses target their products towards specific consumer groups, develop new products and identify why some products are more successful than others.

Factors affecting consumer preference:

Advertising:
Advertising plays an important role in consumer preference, especially for non-durable goods such as food or magazines. Advertising informs consumers of available goods and services and also shapes their impressions of these products. Advertising can also create demand; for example, a consumer may not have wanted a new cell phone until he saw flashy new phones on TV.

Social Institutions
Social institutions, including parents, friends, schools, religion and television show also influence consumers' preferences. For example, kids might want to have the same toys their schoolmates have, while young adults may purchase the same products their parents used to buy.

Cost
Consumers usually choose to purchase more of a good if the price falls. For example, a sale or reduced prices may increase consumption of a good. On the other hand, an increase in price may cause reduced consumption, especially if the good has available substitutes.

Consumer Income
Consumers often desire more expensive goods and services when their income increases. If they suffer a decrease in income, they are more likely to choose less expensive goods and services. For example, business selling luxury goods, such as jewellery, will probably be more successful in a high-income area than a low-income area.

Available Substitutes
If a product has several substitutes -- alternative products that consumers may choose instead a particular brand of product -- consumers will be more sensitive to changes in price. However, if consumers do not perceive similar products to be effective substitutes -- for example, consumers who do not think Coke and Pepsi are equally delicious -- they will be less likely to switch to a substitute based on price. This concept is called the price elasticity of demand.

LITERATURE REVIEW
The aim of the research is to determine the factors which a consumer takes into account while selecting a particular fast food chain. The past researches done by various researchers prove that there are various factors which affect consumer preference or attitude towards any fast food chain. Such factors are quality, price, service, cleanliness, location, staff attitude, attractiveness and other factors. Tajulurrus Mohammad (2003) in his paper titled Attributes influencing preference of university students on fast food outlets selected the sample of students of the University of Queensland (St. Lucia Campus, Brisbane, Australia) with the objective to identify whether the perceptions and preferences of university students toward fast food restaurants are perceived similarly across these multicultural students in single market location. He selected six fast food restaurants. The research used non-probability sampling methods as a combination of convenience sampling method and snowballing method. The questionnaire was developed for the purpose of collecting data. A cross- comparison analysis was performed to evaluate fast-food consumers perceptions by each students group. The study revealed that factors such as prompt service, courteous staff, speed, attractiveness, cleanliness, consistency, modern equipment, staff appearance, physical facilities, printed materials, location, food temperature, flavour, menu choices, freshness, portion size, nutrition, and price of fast food restaurants influence the consumer preference of fast food outlets in Australia.

A.Ali Khatibi, V. Thaigarajan and Hishammuddin Ismail (2003) in their research paper titled Factors Analysing Consumers Preference towards McDonalds and A&W in Malaysia. The objective of the study was to find out the consumer preference towards McDonalds and A&D in Malaysia by comparing all the determining factors such as price, quality, service, value-satisfaction level, etc. A total of 302 respondents was selected .From the study it is concluded that McDonalds strategy of providing tasty food with good environment and better ambience, wins well in attracting the Malaysian consumer.

Anita Goyal and N.P. Singh (2007) in their paper titled Consumer perception about fast food in India: an exploratory study seeks to estimate importance of various factors affecting the choice of fast food outlets by Indian young consumers. In this study multivariate statistical tools to estimate importance of various factors affecting the choice of fast food outlets by Indian young consumers. Accordingly 200 respondents from the target population were approached to fill in the questionnaire. Out of 200 only 171 respondents data were valid. The study proved that the food habits of youngsters are influenced by many factors such as environment at home, educational environment, availability and accessibility to fast food providers, and social environment in their surroundings. In addition, emergence of traits of independence in their eating habits, nutritional education, divergence of food preferences at home and at fast food outlets and ambience of place for socializing affects their visit and liking of fast food outlets
Nazrul Islam (2010) in his paper titled Factors Affecting Consumers Preferences on Fast Food

Items in Bangladesh. To conduct the study, a total of 250 university students of Dhaka city were interviewed with a structured questionnaire, the objective of this research was to identify the preference factors of fast food consumers living in Dhaka city. Multivariate analysis technique like factor analysis was performed to identify the preference factors of the fast food student-consumers of Bangladesh. Multiple regressions were run to identify the relationship between the factors identified and the overall preference of the consumers. This study suggests that the brand reputation, nearness and accessibility, similarity in taste, and cost and quality relationship should be emphasized to improve the attraction of the university students towards the fast food items in Bangladesh.

Muhammad Usman Haider, Dr Farzand Ali Jan, Muhammad Farooq Jan, Muhammad Faheem Jan (2012) in their paper titled Factors Effecting Brand Preferences: A Comparative Study of

McDonalds and KFC. The study was undertaken with an objective to identify factors affecting brand
food products about two major food industries i.e. Mc-Donalds and Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC). Factors included were taste and quality of product, price of product, delivery of product, availability of product, environment of restaurant, staff of behaviour and value for money. A pre design questionnaire was used to collect relevant data about these two food industries in Islamabad and Rawalpindi areas. Such questionnaire was filled by 324 respondents. The study found that the product of KFC were relatively better as compared to that of Mc-Donalds in most of the traits studied especially in Taste and quality of food, price of product, staff behaviour, delivery of product, and environment of the restaurant.

Ayesha Tabassum and Tasnuva Rahman (2012) in their paper titled Differences in Consumer Attitude towards Selective Fast Food Restaurants in Bangladesh: An Implication of Multiattribute Attitude Model. The objective of the research was to explore the consumer attitude towards the fast food restaurants in Bangladesh through comparative evaluation among the selective restaurants. A total of 100 respondents were included in the study. The respondents were selected from two large private universities of Bangladesh. The study concluded that Consumers in Bangladesh mostly emphasize on quality, price, quick service, and environment of fast food restaurants as most significant.

Findings
McDonalds is the brand which is been visited by most number of consumers i.e. 239 people and Subway is the visited by least number of consumers i.e. 87 people There are four important factors which affects the selection of outlet which are 1. Service and Health 2. Price 3. Quality 4. Location Quality is the most important factor which a consumer takes into account while selecting a fast food outlet. Personal criteria of consumer such as Age, Gender, Occupation and Income also affect the consumption and selection of fast food outlet. People visit a fast food outlet mostly as it saves time. The frequency of people visiting a fast food outlet on an special occasion increases as they prefer to eat outside on such occasions. KFC is the most preferred brand among the customers i.e. 78 consumers Voted for KFC while Subway was voted by least number of consumers i.e. 11

Conclusion
The study was conducted with an objective to find out the factors which affect the consumer in selecting a fast food outlet and also to find the most preferred brand by the customer in fast food business. By conducting various tests and asking respondents various question which can affect the selection of fast food outlet we came to know that there are various factor which affects the selection of fast food outlet and the most important of them all was quality of products followed by price. That is consumers are ready to pay a higher price if better quality of products are served. Service & Health, Quality, Price and Location are the most important factor affecting consumer preference in selecting a fast food outlet.

30

Recommendations
They should improve the quality of products provided to the consumer. Providing quick and efficient service to consumers Establishing the outlet at a proper place where it is easy to visit for the consumer. Providing special offers on occasions as the frequency of visit at such times increases. Most of the respondents were not satisfied with the behaviour of staff so necessary training should be provided. Including more products in their menu so that more consumers are attracted towards the outlet.

Reducing the amount of fat in products as people consider health as important factor while selecting a fast food outlet.
