Section 1
The big idea
Restaurants use AI in lots of places. Drive-thru voice ordering systems. Online order recommendations. Even some kitchen automation (robot fryers, salad assemblers). AI everywhere in food service.
Some examples
- Drive-thru voice AI: tries to understand your order accurately (still glitches sometimes).
- App ordering AI: 'you might also like...' recommendations.
- Kitchen automation: robot burger makers (real, but rare).
- Reservation AI: predicts no-shows and overbooks accordingly.
