AI Startup to Take a Bite Out of Fast-Food Labor Crunch

Addressing a growing labor crisis among quick-service restaurants, startup Vistry is harnessing AI to automate the process of taking orders. The company will share its story at the NRF Big Show, the annual industry gathering of the National Retail Federation in New York, starting Jan. 16. “They’re closing restaurants because there is not enough labor,” said Atif Kureishy, CEO of Vistry, which is a member of the NVIDIA Inception startup accelerator program.
