(NewsNation) — Yum! Brands, which owns Taco Bell, Pizza Hut, KFC and Habit Burger and Grill, announced it will be partnering with Nvidia to build AI-driven services at its restaurants.
In a statement, the company said the new technology will "enable a more natural, seamless ordering experience." Yum! Brands is Nvidia's first AI restaurant partner.
The restaurants will also use Nvidia's AI tech to look at the performances of each location and to generate personalized action plans based on best practices from top-performing locations.
Yum! Brands is already using AI at more than 100 Taco Bell drive-thru locations in 13 U.S. states.
A wider rollout of the technology at 500 different restaurants within the company is planned for later this year.
