Abstract
  • Self-ordering kiosks (SOKs) is a self-service technology (SSTs) designed to improve service quality and customer experience, replacing the traditional interaction between service provider and customers. While industries assumed that SOKs benefit both customers and business operations, this form of technology is also linked to several weaknesses resulting in lower business processes efficiency as well as customer acceptance. Following the contradicting perspectives regarding SOKs implementation, this study aims to examine the factors influencing consumer acceptance towards self-ordering kiosks in McDonald’s Malaysia using Unified Theory of Acceptance and Use of Technology (UTAUT). Potential contributions following this study are highlighted.
