Abstract
Abstract This study extends existing research within the area of SST by examining which factors affect consumers’ attitudes toward and satisfaction with SST in casual dining restaurants. Results are based on a survey with 169 respondents and interviews with one marketing communicator. Usability, pleasure, lack of personal service, technology readiness, support, and ease of use explained 65.2% of attitude toward SST. However, for satisfaction only four factors were significant: lack of personal service, usability, ease of use and pleasure, explaining 61.6% of satisfaction. The paper also provides useful information to managers in charge of the decision to design and implement SST.

期刊介绍:
Services Marketing Quarterly is directed at academicians and practitioners who are involved in the development and application of services marketing concepts to the wide spectrum of industries that constitute the service sector of economies. The journal presents both theoretical and empirical articles including experimental and pilot studies addressing various issues faced by service marketers to enhance the development of the marketing literature in the application of marketing concepts to services. Areas of emphasis include: Service characteristics changes. Servicescape impacts. Service delivery impacts. Services impact on organizational image. Digital service environments and impacts. Evolution of services over time and by industry. Contributions are encouraged which include analysis of existing practice, methods and programs; application of new ideas and methods; and research on various aspects of services marketing. Each manuscript should include the marketing implications of the impact of the findings on services marketing theory and/or practice. Services Marketing Quarterly also welcome proposals for special issues.
