CKE Restaurants Holdings, the parent company of fast food chains Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s, is rolling out artificial intelligence at its drive-thrus.
The company is partnering with AI companies Presto Automation, OpenCity, and Valyant AI to automate voice ordering at participating drive-thru locations across the country, according to news releases. Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s operate roughly 2,800 restaurants across 44 states.
The partnerships are meant to boost accuracy, speed, and revenue and help fast-food chains manage staffing shortages.
