The experience economy of service robots in the restaurant industry was researched in the present study. The dimensions of the experience economy, which include esthetics, entertainment, education, and escapism, were assessed based on customer demographics. Additionally, this study explored how the four sub-dimensions of the experience economy affects word-of-mouth intentions. The study analyzed 292 surveys. Significant differences in the experience economy were found in terms of gender, education, and monthly income, according to the statistical results. Lastly, the results of the regression analysis revealed that the experience economy’s sub-dimensions have a positive effect on word-of-mouth intentions. This is the first study to examine the experience economy of robot services, and thus, it provides theoretical contributions and practical suggestions for the restaurant industry.
