Wendy’s To Begin Replacing Drive-Thru Staff With AI Chatbots
Verbal AI tech has advanced in leaps and bounds — not that you’d know it trying to talk to my Google Home, mind you — and the two companies have worked together to train up a system called FreshAI. This model understands the entire menu, including the street slang for certain orders, and it’s capable of having conversations — within a set of “guardrails” — as well as taking custom orders and answering questions. It integrates with the company’s point of sale systems and has been trained to follow the rules the company currently gives to its human drive thru window staff. Wendy’s will begin with a pilot program at a site in the Columbus, Ohio, area next month, expecting that some customers won’t realize they’re not talking to a human. From there, the company hopes to expand to include other drive-thru locations.

Google and Wendy’s team up to give the drive-through an AI makeover
Wendy’s will start using an AI chatbot to take drive-through orders
First Snapchat, now Wendy’s. No one is safe from AI.
The fast food chain will use an artificial intelligence chatbot to take drive-through orders, reports The Wall Street Journal. The new chatbot runs on Google‘s natural-language processing software and is trained to understand customers’ orders. It will officially launch in June at a company-owned Wendy’s in Columbus, Ohio.
Training a chatbot for the drive-through is more complicated than you might think. The chatbot must understand all the ways someone might order. For example, it knows that a customer might call Wendy’s signature Frosty drink a milkshake and that a “JBC” is short for a junior bacon cheeseburger. To train the chatbot, Wendy’s team worked with Google to customize its large language models (or LLMs) to include Wendy’s specific terminology and slang.
Wendy’s Chief Executive Todd Penegor told The Wall Street Journal that the chatbot will be very conversational and indistinguishable from a regular employee. But we will believe it when we see it. It was even taught to upsell customers and how to adapt to patrons changing their orders. Roughly 80 percent of orders at Wendy’s are reportedly made through the drive-through, so the chatbot has the potential to make a huge impact.
Ordering through the drive-through is already stressful enough, and now we’ll have to deal with AI taking our orders, too.
