Vox AI, the conversational voice AI platform purpose-built for drive-thru and operations automations in QSRs has raised $8.7 million in seed funding to accelerate its global expansion, including the launch of a new office in San Francisco. The Vox AI platform serves as a multilingual voice assistant for QSRs, enabling customers to place drive-thru and mobile orders autonomously, while supporting staff with real-time shift guidance and alerts triggered by restaurant systems. Vox AI’s core product offerings and platform features include: Truly Autonomous AI: Produces highly accurate voice AI that quickly replicates natural human speech and service from day one, with no human-in-the-loop during training or deployment—enabling scalable, consistent performance across multiple locations. Drive-Thru Voice AI Ordering: Handles orders 24/7 in over 90 languages and dialects with high accuracy and speed, ensuring fast-food and QSR patrons can order in their preferred language and style. Real-World Intelligence: Voice AI that continuously self-optimizes, learning from dialects, menu synonyms, ambient noise, and unique, location-specific building acoustics with a conversation-first training pipeline. Seamless Tech Stack Integration: Designed to plug into existing QSR tech stacks without operational disruption. Mobile Voice Ordering Integration: Enables voice-based pre-ordering through QSRs’ mobile apps to reduce or eliminate wait times and streamline pick-up orders. Employee Assist: A hands-free, voice-first operational tool that supports staff with real-time inventory alerts and shift guidance, for example. The first deployments demonstrate that Vox AI’s technology increases ROI by up to 17 times, shortens drive-thru queues, enhances upselling, drives higher customer satisfaction, and frees up restaurant employees to focus on more meaningful tasks.
