The company’s LinkedIn post highlights an estimated 1.5% lift in average ticket size, which it translates into roughly $15,000 to $20,000 in additional annual revenue per store. The post also cites 3 to 8 labor hours saved per store per day, implying potential labor-cost efficiencies that could enhance restaurant margins.
As shared in the post, Hi Auto’s system is currently in use with brands including Bojangles, Popeyes U.K., Burger King New Zealand, and Checkers & Rally’s, signaling traction with multi-unit quick-service restaurant operators. For investors, this customer list may indicate validation of the product in major QSR chains and a path to scaling recurring software or service revenues.
The LinkedIn post notes that the company will demonstrate the AI’s live ordering and natural upselling behavior at the Restaurant Leadership Conference in Phoenix, including handling modifications in real time. This type of conference exposure could support new business development, expand the sales pipeline, and potentially accelerate adoption among large franchise groups.
The post also alludes to an additional, as-yet-undisclosed product or feature to be revealed at the event, suggesting an ongoing product roadmap. If the new offering deepens automation or analytics capabilities, it could increase Hi Auto’s value proposition, support higher pricing, and strengthen its competitive position within the restaurant technology and voice AI segments.
