Presto

Presto sells voice AI for restaurant drive thrus. Its main product, Presto Voice, takes orders at the speaker post through a voice assistant so that staff can focus on food preparation and service. The company says it was founded in 2008 as a restaurant technology provider and has automated drive thrus for multiple quick service restaurant brands in the United States. The product is aimed at quick service chains and franchise operators. The vendor lists the benefits as improved staff efficiency, consistent upselling of add ons and specials to raise average order value, better order accuracy and faster service. It describes using a spectrum of voice AI approaches rather than a single model, and it advertises an installation process that works with each location's point of sale and headset hardware without disrupting drive thru operations. A measurable metrics section cites a non intervention rate of up to 95 percent, meaning orders completed without a human stepping in. Presto publishes news and blog content on its site, including a nationwide expansion with the Wienerschnitzel chain and a funding announcement. The vendor does not publish pricing. Presto is sold to restaurant businesses through direct contact, and there is no self service signup or public plan page.
