In addition to descriptive statistics, analysis techniques such as t-test, ANOVA, confirmatory factor analysis and regression analysis were used in the analyses. As a result of the factor analysis, the dimensions of green generation restaurant applications were determined as "energy efficiency", "sustainable structure and materials", "water saving and waste management" and "disposables". In the regression analysis, it was determined that the green generation application dimensions "energy efficiency" and "sustainable structure and materials" significantly affect both customer satisfaction and behavioral intention.
