NEW: McDonald’s is bringing back AI to its drive-thrus with a new system called ArchIQ. The fast-food giant is rolling out an AI-powered operating system developed with Google, featuring a drive-thru assistant named Archy. Key details: → Archy handles orders in both English and Spanish and is designed to reduce duplicate or incorrect orders → The system also acts as an assistant for managers by flagging potential bottlenecks in real time → In early testing across five locations, it has already processed over 1 million transactions, with around 90% of orders completed without needing human intervention → Google Edge Cloud infrastructure is being installed in every U.S. McDonald’s as part of the rollout This comes nearly two years after McDonald’s scrapped its previous AI drive-thru ordering system following widespread customer complaints about errors and added items. The new version appears more focused on both customer ordering and backend restaurant operations. #McDonalds #AI #FastFood #Restaurant #Tech
