What is Presto AI?

Presto AI is a voice-based ordering platform designed to automate ordering processes in restaurant chains. It handles both drive-thru operations and table-service environments using conversational AI that can take customer orders, answer menu questions, and process transactions with minimal human intervention. The tool targets multi-unit restaurant operators who want to reduce labour costs, improve order accuracy, and serve customers faster during peak times. It works by replacing or supplementing traditional point-of-sale staff with AI voice agents that integrate with existing restaurant systems.

Pros & cons

Advantages

  • Free to use, making it accessible for restaurants testing AI ordering solutions
  • Addresses genuine labour shortages in fast-casual and quick-service restaurants
  • Can reduce order errors compared to some manual ordering processes
  • Works in both drive-thru and table-service settings, offering flexibility

Limitations

  • Voice AI still struggles with accents, background noise, and complex menu customisations that human staff handle naturally
  • Requires integration with existing POS and kitchen systems, which can be time-consuming to set up
  • May frustrate customers who prefer speaking to staff or have accessibility needs that voice-only ordering doesn't serve
