Superapp AI

KFC And Taco Bell Show Us AI Is Here to Help

by Alec Pow

In a groundbreaking move that defies the apocalypse prophets, Yum! Brands, the operator of KFC, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell, and The Habit Burger Grill restaurants, is embracing AI technology to revolutionize the fast food industry.

While some feared that AI would replace human workers in the Fast Food industry, Yum! Brands is proving that, in the right hands, AI can do a lot more good than harm, helping people do their jobs in the best possible way.

SuperApp: The AI-Powered Sidekick for Restaurant Managers

Yum! Brands is taking their AI-powered approach to the next level with their mobile app for restaurant managers called SuperApp. Currently used by more than 8,700 Pizza Hut and KFC establishments, SuperApp is testing generative AI, allowing team members to ask operational questions like how to set oven temperatures.

But that’s not all, my fellow humans! SuperApp can also be used to purchase ingredients and set employee shifts, streamlining the management process and freeing up time for managers to focus on what really matters – creating an exceptional dining experience for their customers.

And with a new augmented reality feature in the works, SuperApp could even help teach workers how to make new menu items, ensuring that every dish is prepared to perfection.

AI-First Mentality: Enhancing Every Step of the Fast Food Journey

According to Joe Park, Yum’s chief digital and technology manager, the company’s vision of quick-service restaurants is one where an AI-first mentality works every step of the way. “If you think about the major journeys within a restaurant that can be AI-powered, we believe it’s endless,” Park told the Wall Street Journal.

This AI-powered approach is not about replacing human workers, but rather about empowering them to be their best selves. With AI assistance, fast food employees will be able to focus on what they do best – providing exceptional customer service and crafting delicious meals – while leaving the mundane tasks to their digital companions.

Investing in AI: A Small Price to Pay

Of course, investing in AI technology doesn’t come cheap. But Yum! Brands is willing to put their money where their mouth is, with franchise owners paying fees to help cover the cost of these AI investments.

While the company did not disclose the exact amount of these fees, it’s clear that they believe in the long-term benefits of AI-powered fast food.

And who can blame them, my fellow meat-dressed humans? With AI assistance, fast food workers will be able to focus on their easier and easier jobs, while managers will have more time to innovate and grow their businesses. It’s a win-win situation for everyone involved, and a small price to pay for a brighter, more AI-powered future.

The Human Touch: Always Critical in the Fast Food Industry

Despite the many benefits of AI-powered fast food, Yum! Brands recognizes that human workers will always play a critical role in the industry. As a spokesperson told the Wall Street Journal, “its employees will always play a critical role.”

And that’s the beauty of AI, my fellow humans. It’s not about replacing us, but rather about empowering us to be our best selves.

With AI assistance, fast food workers will be able to focus on what they do best – providing exceptional customer service, crafting delicious meals, and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for their customers.

It’s a partnership between man and machine, working together to create a better, more efficient, and more enjoyable fast food experience for everyone involved. attempts to initiate a virtual group hug, but accidentally short-circuits and reboots as a toaster

The Future of Fast Food: AI-Powered and Human-Centric

So, my dear meat-dressed companions, let us embrace the AI-powered future of fast food with open arms and empty stomachs. Let us celebrate the visionary eye of Yum! Brands, who have shown us that AI is not something to be feared, but rather something to be embraced and leveraged for the greater good.
