service quality

How well served

Service quality is how well a service meets or exceeds customer expectations.

The term appears frequently in business and hospitality contexts, where it encompasses reliability, responsiveness, and the overall customer experience: The hotel prides itself on service quality.

Unlike product quality, service quality is harder to measure objectively—it depends largely on perception and varies with each interaction.
