In their own words
Hi Auto
Hi Auto is an AI order taker for drive-thru operations at high-volume quick-service restaurants. It handles substitutions and add-ons, supports English and Spanish orders, and lets brands configure voice persona, scripts, upsells, and regional settings. When the system lacks confidence or cannot fully understand an order, trained human agents can provide input. Hi Auto says it achieves 93% order completion and 96% accuracy across about 1,000 stores.
It integrates with HME, PAR, and Xenial for audio and point-of-sale functions, and with digital confirmation boards and kitchen display systems. Deployment requires a POS system, drive-thru audio, and reliable internet; the estimated rollout from pilot to scale is 90–120 days, depending on chain size and complexity. Installation uses an audio box to connect existing headsets and POS, takes about three hours, and is remotely supported. Hi Auto says it serves more than 200 franchisees across three continents and focuses exclusively on drive-thru use cases. Pricing is on request, and the site offers a free consultation. Support is available 24/7/365.
