Deliver New Efficiency to Quick-Service Restaurants

Transforming QSRs—From the Kitchen to the
Drive-Through

Accelerating QSRs With AI

AI is helping quick-service restaurants (QSRs) address labor shortages, drive operational efficiency, transform the customer experience, and become more agile and efficient. With computer vision and speech recognition technologies, QSRs can automate food ordering through AI-enabled branded avatars, predict when orders will be ready, optimize staffing, and deliver food faster—creating a comprehensive end-to-end customer experience.

Bringing Agility to QSR With AI

To address challenges and meet consumer expectations, QSRs are turning to AI. Learn about the most important use cases today.

Deliver State-of-the-Art Customer Experiences

The NVIDIA Tokkio reference workflow—built with  NVIDIA ACE—leverages Riva NIM microservices for speech, Nemotron NIM microservices for intelligence, and Audio2Face NIM microservices for animation. With ACE Agent, easily connect to vision models, recommenders, and NVIDIA Omniverse™ RTX microservice to elevate the customer service experience. 

Ensure Food Quality and Operational Excellence

Due to labor shortages and high volumes in drive-throughs, restaurants are bringing automation into the kitchen with NVIDIA Metropolis vision AI and NVIDIA independent software vendor (ISV) partners. These advanced solutions are providing real-time guidance into food production quality and waste, ensuring the accuracy of orders, and delivering insights to help managers improve store efficiency and ensure a consistently positive customer experience.

Improve Forecasting and Inventory Optimization

RAPIDS allows data scientists to train more models, iterate quickly, and scale services and shared knowledge. Restaurants can run forecasts more frequently and improve forecast accuracy by as much as 20 percent to ensure they have the right products and food quality, waste, and safety are being monitored.
