Abstract

The objective of this study was to determine the relationship between sensory marketing and perceived service quality among customers of a gastronomic establishment in the district of Huánuco during 2025. A quantitative, applied, correlational, non-experimental, and cross-sectional study was conducted. The sample consisted of 384 customers selected through non-probability convenience sampling. Data were collected through a survey using a 37-item Likert-scale questionnaire. Data distribution was assessed using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test and, because significance values were below 0,05, Spearman's rank correlation coefficient was used. The results showed a very strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship between sensory marketing and service quality (? = 0,846; p < 0,05). All sensory marketing dimensions were also significantly associated with service quality, with the olfactory stimulus showing the highest correlation coefficient (? = 0,640). It is concluded that higher perceived levels of sensory marketing are associated with a better evaluation of service quality among customers
