How can Conversational Artificial Intelligence support restaurants?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is showing up everywhere today. Even within a single industry like food services, there are hundreds of examples of where AI is used to support everything from operations and data analysis to marketing and guest experience, and more.
Because of its advanced ability to understand and respond on a human level, Conversational AI is best applied to guest experience. In other words, restaurant guests will be able to have a similar experience interacting with Conversational AI technology as they would with a human.
This allows Conversational AI to support restaurant guests in functions such as:
- Answering questions about promotions, restaurant locations, and more
- Ordering food, even when the order is complicated
- Social media monitoring to increase engagement and have more meaningful conversations with guests
- Supporting back-of-house staff with seamless ticket delivery that improves order accuracy and increases throughput
How does restaurant AI work, and is it effective?
Restaurant AI, specifically Conversational AI, is a practical application of AI to streamline restaurant and food service interactions to enhance the guest experience. Using a combination of Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR), Natural Language Processing (NLP), and Machine Learning, the AI technology can understand and respond on a human level, as well as maintain context throughout the conversation and integrate with backend systems, like POS and CRM, to provide a personalized experience to guests.
Due to the advanced conversational manner of this technology, restaurant AI is able to provide an effective solution to handling large volumes of ordering without losing the qualities of a positive guest experience.
Does FoodService AI provide better customer service?
As mentioned above, AI in Food Services can drastically improve guest experience by allowing a greater volume of customers to be served. This reduces wait times for guests on every channel–including phone, digital, drive-thru, kiosks, and in-person ordering. And, unlike traditional automation services where humans must adapt to speak with technology, Conversational AI adapts to humans to create an effortless guest experience.
Implementing AI in a restaurant can also provide a greater guest experience by improving order accuracy. According to a recent survey by Interactions, the top characteristic of a bad food ordering experience is food inaccuracy.
By leaving food ordering to Conversational AI technology with a human-level of understanding, guests’ orders will be accurately recorded and seamlessly delivered to staff, so they can focus on preparing guests food quickly and without error.
Seventy-three percent of people believe that having technology as a part of their dining improves their experience, according to a study by Toast. And more, 76% of customers are comfortable with a human not being involved when interacting with a company under a variety of circumstances, according to Harris Poll. We also know that guests don’t want to wait at any stage at a quick-service restaurant, and they want their food delivered accurately. Conversational AI solves for these two common issues, allowing you to support more guests with a better guest experience.
