Quail Digital and Audivi AI Voice Ordering Partnership Targets Faster Drive-Thru Service
Quail Digital and Audivi have partnered to introduce a global Voice AI hardware platform designed to modernize drive-thru ordering for quick service restaurants. The integrated system combines Quail’s high-clarity audio hardware with Audivi’s real-time AI voice ordering software, enabling faster and more accurate order processing. Delivered as a ready-to-deploy solution, the platform includes a dedicated hardware unit engineered to perform in noisy environments while supporting seamless communication between staff and customers. To accelerate adoption, the hardware is offered at no cost to operators who implement the bundled system, with the option to purchase it separately for use with other compatible technologies.
Jason M. Riggs, Chief Commercial & Product Officer of Audivi, said: “Great drive-thru experiences begin with great sound quality. Quail’s market position made them the clear partner for bringing Audivi’s voice AI technology to QSR operators at scale. Their installed base and reputation for audio excellence provide a solid foundation for expanding automated ordering across the industry.”
The collaboration addresses a critical area of restaurant operations, as drive-thru orders account for a large share of revenue at many QSR chains. By automating order capture through natural voice interaction, the system helps reduce errors, improve the speed of service, and ease pressure on staff during busy periods. Audivi’s AI processes menu selections and modifications in real time, while Quail’s audio technology ensures consistent voice recognition accuracy. Together, the companies aim to deliver smoother customer experiences and increased efficiency for restaurant operators navigating labor shortages and rising operational demands.
