According to a recent LinkedIn post from Hi Auto, the company is promoting an AI-driven upselling and automation solution deployed across roughly 1,000 drive-thru locations. The post suggests the system attempts upsells on every order, contrasting this with human employees who may upsell less frequently.

The LinkedIn post highlights claimed results of about a 1.5% lift in average ticket size, equating to an estimated $15,000–$20,000 in additional annual revenue per store, alongside savings of 3–8 labor hours per store per day. The post also cites active deployments with brands including Bojangles, Popeyes U.K., Burger King New Zealand, and Checkers & Rally’s.
As referenced in the post, Hi Auto plans to demonstrate live ordering, modification handling, and upselling capabilities at the Restaurant Leadership Conference in Phoenix, indicating a focus on expanding visibility among multi-unit restaurant operators. For investors, these metrics and reference customers may suggest growing market traction in the quick-service restaurant automation segment and potential recurring revenue opportunities if performance claims are validated.
The mention of an unspecified, not-yet-public feature or product to be revealed at the event points to ongoing product development. Depending on the scope of this new offering and customer adoption, it could enhance Hi Auto’s value proposition versus competing drive-thru automation and labor-optimization platforms, potentially supporting pricing power and market share gains over time.
