Presto Automation Inc. has signed new pilot agreements with two top major quick-service restaurant brands. One of Presto's new pilot drive-thru customers is a Top 10 QSR chain, ranked by annual revenues of restaurants that include a drive-thru concept, while the other is part of a leading global restaurant franchise company that manages over 2,000 locations in total. In both cases, Presto is now the only Voice AI vendor in an active pilot after two prior voice AI vendors failed to perform adequately beyond a pilot stage.

In one case, Presto displaced an incumbent who was unable to deliver high order accuracy. Presto's robust Voice system achieves an 85% non-intervention rate on average and has reached up to a 95% non-intervention rate in certain locations1 which is a key competitive advantage. These new pilot agreements come alongside Presto signing CKE Franchise Group StarCorp and all of its 58 Carl's Jr. locations, where it will be the only Voice AI vendor.

After achieving incremental upsell revenue for StarCorp during its pilot period, the companies are now rolling out the technology at select additional locations over the coming months.
