Taco Bell is set to revolutionize its drive-thru experience by introducing AI voice technology at hundreds of locations by year-end. This initiative follows a successful pilot program in 100 stores across 13 states, aiming for a full rollout across all restaurants. The move is part of a broader trend in the fast-food industry, where companies are increasingly adopting AI solutions to enhance customer service.

The company has invested two years in testing and refining the technology, ensuring that human employees remain involved to assist when necessary. This strategic approach aims to enhance the overall customer experience while maintaining job security for staff.
