“We’re excited to partner and grow together with Wingstop. It’s been a pleasure seeing how our AI has been embraced by their guests and staff while driving results in sales and average ticket,” said Vinay Shukla, Co-Founder and CEO of ConverseNow. “Wingstop has built an incredible business with nearly 30 years of history. We’re privileged to help them continue their ascent and solidify their leadership in the next generation of restaurants.”
ConverseNow will process Wingstop orders in both English and Spanish, serving a broad range of customers. Their self-learning virtual assistants have been programmed to hold deep knowledge around Wingstop’s menu, and to not just accurately take orders but offer personalized recommendations for guests to enhance their orders. Guests who still prefer to speak with a live person will have the option to do so.
With award-winning technology that processes millions of orders each month, ConverseNow brings a solution to the challenges around labor, guest experience, and operational efficiency that restaurants everywhere are facing. Designed to replicate the conversational, high-touch interaction that consumers seek out in hospitality, ConverseNow creates a win-win-win situation for guests, staff, and owners alike.

ConverseNow’s virtual ordering assistants replicate natural human dialogue to provide the naturally conversational, personalized and high-touch experience guests seek when dining out. Orders are processed by the restaurant’s point of sale (POS) system in the same way as online orders, allowing staff to fulfill AI orders without any additional training. In addition to enhancing guest experience and staff productivity, the virtual assistants also boost average ticket through automated, dynamic upsell.
Beyond the Wingstop stores slated for service, ConverseNow’s voice AI is live in more than 1,200 stores across 46 states, encompassing phone and drive-thru ordering environments. Additional brands include Domino’s, Blake’s Lotaburger, Fazoli’s and Anthony’s Coal Fired Pizza.
