Presto Phoenix said that the proceeds will be used to support wider rollouts, live deployments and further development of its AI offering for restaurants.<\/p>\n

According to the company, Presto Voice is currently in use at hundreds of drive-through locations. It powered \u201cmillions of real-world drive-through interactions\u201d last year.<\/p>\n

The technology aims to improve order accuracy, reduce service time and provide a more uniform customer experience.<\/p>\n

It is designed to cope with large and frequently changing menus, including customisations, modifiers, regional variations and promotional updates.<\/p>\n

Presto co-founder Krishna Gupta said: \u201c2026 is the year where American AI companies with deployments, not demos and dinners, will consolidate their leadership position and win markets.<\/p>\n

\u201cPresto is the AI partner to a dozen enterprise brands, and we\u2019ve deployed our drive-through Voice AI across more customers and geographies than anyone else.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll use our learnings to make magic happen for our customers and their customers as we help instrument these businesses to take advantage of the AI revolution.\u201d<\/p>\n

In April 2025, Presto Phoenix launched a new phone ordering business unit<\/a>. The development was unveiled at the Restaurant Leadership Conference (RLC) in Phoenix, Arizona, US.<\/p>\n
