They have been trialing "Voice AI" technology in over 100 US stores, aiming to expand it to hundreds more by year-end. The technology is expected to lighten staff workloads, enhance order precision, and decrease customer wait times, thereby driving profitability for Yum! Brands, Taco Bell, and their affiliates.
