We are familiar with dynamic or surge pricing at Uber. Can AI enabled surge pricing work for Wendy's? Menu changes on-the-fly sounds interesting. Update: Wendy's has backtracked because surge pricing is associated with raising prices, during peak demand. In a clarification statement, Wendy's reinforced the "value" they offer to customers. I believe the real opportunity is in apps and reward programs. Get your personalization optimized for offers: The right offer, for the right person, at the right time. #dynamicpricing #AI #restaurantmarketing

Did you know AI can help employees improve customer satisfaction, cook food to a brand’s standards and accurately refill inventory? Here are a couple of innovative ways AI can be used in restaurants: ➡️ Drive-thru support - AI can instantly engage with the customer as they pull up to the speaker post, compared to an employee, who often takes about 30 seconds to engage. It also removes multitasking pressure from restaurant employees. ➡️ Integration in digital kiosks - AI can help kiosks identify repeat customers and loyalty members. From here, they can then make personalised food recommendations to consumers, factoring in everything from the time of day to weather and ordering patterns in the region.

Theres a moment that occurs in the lifecycle of all technology where you find yourself saying "Oh, this is a bad idea". For AI - that moment happened yesterday when Wendys is now basing their fast food business model on dynamic pricing based on AI. Rather than make better food ( In-n-out) or make something for everyone at low prices ( Taco Bell), Wendys has gone a third way. https://lnkd.in/gUW5Ven7
Wendy's is trying out dynamic pricing. It's not as Uber as it sounds.
