The system uses a program developed by PrestoVoice, which replaces a fry station worker in Chicago over a year ago. Other fast food chains, such as Applebees, Chilis, and the outback, are already using the service. Presto CEO, Krishna Gupta, believes this could be transformational for fast food restaurants if they can make 100% of the orders emotionally intelligent and accurate.

BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KGET) — “Welcome to Carl’s Junior. Would you like to try our bacon guacamole angus burger today?” Fast food chains might have found their solution to paying their workers $20 an hour.
Over a year ago, an artificial intelligence robot named Flippy replaced the job of a fry station worker out in Chicago.
“Yeah it’s pretty much going to be an A.I/Chat GPT system going forward!” Schawn Dosoto, Shift Leaser at Carl’s Junior said.
It’s all through a program called Presto Voice. Carl’s Junior isn’t the only store implementing the program.
Applebees, Chilis, and the outback have deals with the service. Being that Presto Voice is the leading AI drive through service, it might not be long until others follow suit.
“It’s interesting! It’s cutting-edge and we’re trying to stay with the times and it’s just cool to know that Carl’s Junior is on board,” Dosoto said.
Many wonder, what does this mean for the jobs Presto Voice is replacing? Are we far off from fully automated fast food restaurants?
“If we can now use the AI to make 100% of the orders emotionally intelligent and cognitive and accurate for 100% of orders, that would be transformational,” Krishna Gupta, Chairman and CEO of Presto said.
