The aim is to investigate possible ICTs-related entrepreneurial opportunities in the food and beverage (F&B) industry. Design/methodology/approach: The study uses a survey to collect data and applies Smart partial least squares to test the model. Findings: The structural equation modelling results illustrated that social commerce constructs significantly impact trust, leading to customer�s purchase intention. Additionally, product�s attributes was found to have a significant relationship with customer�s purchase intention with trust being the most pertinent driver. Originality/value: This study contributes to the F&B literature by highlighting the role of new forms of technologies in entrepreneurship activities, especially for small and medium-sized enterprises. � 2022, Emerald Publishing Limited.
