How pet-owning restaurant customers’ experiences shape their emotional reactions: evidence from PLS-SEM and text mining
Due to the rapid growth in pet ownership in the United States, the demand for pet-friendly restaurants has increased significantly in recent years. This study aims to explore how pet-owning customers’ experiences with various aspects of pet-friendly foodservice influence their emotional experiences using a mixed-methods approach. Study 1 analyzed user-generated data using a text-mining approach to explore factors shaping pet-owning customers’ experiences at restaurants. Study 2 employed an online survey and partial least squares structural equation modeling to examine the relationships between pet-owning customers’ experiences, cognitive empathy from restaurants, and their emotional well-being. The results of Study 1 identified six key aspects of pet-owning customers’ experiences and their relationships with customers’ emotions. The findings from Study 2 highlighted the effects of pet-owning customers’ experiences on emotional well-being and the mediating role of cognitive empathy. This study provides effective recommendations for restaurant practitioners to design effective pet-friendly services.
