- Presto Automation Inc. Presto Automation Inc. (PRSTW) provides enterprise-grade artificial intelligence and automation solutions to the restaurant technology industry, primarily focusing on quick-service restaurants in the United States; its core offerings include Presto Voice, an advanced AI-driven drive-thru ordering assistant that automates complex order-taking with human oversight, supports 24/7 operations, boosts upsell rates through consistent add-on recommendations, improves order accuracy, and enhances guest experiences by reducing wait times and staff multitasking; and Presto Touch, a pay-at-table tablet platform for casual dining that enables self-service ordering, payment processing, personalization, and entertainment features. Founded in 2008 and headquartered in San Carlos, California, the company serves major quick-service restaurant chains nationwide, leveraging over 15 years of industry expertise to address labor shortages, optimize staff efficiency, and drive revenue growth through measurable metrics such as up to 95% non-intervention rates, 88% upsell offer rates, and 6% monthly incremental revenue increases. In January 2025, Presto Automation completed the sale of its key assets, including the Presto Voice platform, technology, and team, to a consortium led by Remus Capital, Link Equity Partners, and Metropolitan Partners Group Management, resulting in the formation of a new private entity named Presto Phoenix Inc., which received $18 million in fresh capital to accelerate expansion as the largest and best-capitalized U.S. drive-thru Voice AI provider; this restructuring followed a September 2024 sales process backed by lender financing from Metropolitan Partners Group, enabling sustained operations, product enhancements, and growth into approximately 750 additional locations with major partners, alongside a refreshed brand identity featuring a modernized logo and website.
