With the advancement of technology and impacts of COVID-19 pandemic, a growing number of restaurants have started to implement new technology into their service operation. The study intended to use Sushiro, a Japanese sushi chain, as the study subject to investigate customers’perception toward new service technology implemented in the Japanese sushi chain restaurants. An integrated model was proposed based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to explore factors influencing customers’intention to use the new digital devices. An online questionnaire survey was used and a total of 254 usable questionnaire were collected. The study findings revealed that customers’perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use significantly influence customers’attitude toward the new technology. The IC chip system is the most influential factor, while the mobile APP reservation system revealed no significant impact on attitude. The implications and practical recommendations are also discussed in the study to enhance customers acceptance toward new service technology used in restaurant operations. |
