Abstract In order to enhance customers’trust in the quality of face-to-face expert service, many service providers have proposed free re-service schemes for their service failure, but this will increase the system load and waiting time; while hiring high ability experts can improve the probability of service success, it faces the challenge of paying a higher wages. In view of the above problems, two service recovery schemes such as providing one time (scheme 1) and unlimited times (scheme 2) re-service are studied based on the queuing theory, and the results show that:①the optimal price and expected waiting time of scheme 2 are more stable;②when the potential demand is low, both schemes will select a higher ability expert as the potential demand increasing; when the potential demand is large enough, the requirements of the two schemes for the expert’s ability are the same, and the service providers’revenues are equal; ③service optimization can reduce wages expenditure when potential demand is small and increase effective demand when potential demand is high enough.
