“…Currently, hospitality companies start to adopt service robots for various activities such as housekeeping attendants, bellboys, guides, hosts, porters, cooking staff, room servers, waiters, etc (Ivanov & Webster, 2019c;Ivanov, Webster & Berezina, 2017;Lu, Cai & Gursoy, 2019;Drexler & Lapré, 2019). Therefore, naturally, the number of studies on service robots in hospitality and tourism industry is growing (Choi, Choi, Oh & Kim, 2019;Ivanov, Gretzel, Berezina, Sigala & Webster, 2019;Li, Bonn, & Ye, 2019;Lu et al, 2019;Murphy, Gretzel, & Pesonen, 2019;Murphy, Hofacker & Gretzel, 2017;Tung & Law, 2017;Tung & Au, 2018;Yu & Ngan, 2019). On the other hand, there is an extensive literature related to restaurant experience (Andersson & Mossberg, 2004;Jeong & Jang, 2011;Jin, Lee & Huffman, 2012;Kim & Jang, 2019;Pantelidis, 2010;Ryu & Han, 2011;Velázquez, Blasco, Saura & Contrí, 2010).…”
