Presto joined Toast’s partner ecosystem. Toast POS now transmits Presto’s drive-thru voice AI orders to kitchen displays. The integration needs no new hardware. It is live with one Toast customer. Presto reports 95% order accuracy with the tool. Workers intervene in about 10% of orders. The move targets mid-market and emerging quick-service chains. Presto aims to expand access to brands using modern POS systems.
