Lisa JenningsHOST
They, they've also s- set the goal of, uh, of reaching, I think, um, 2 billion in sales, which, you know, if you look at Technomic data, I looked it up, Technomic and Ignite, uh, in 2025, their international revenue was about 595 million with about 300 units internationally, and then in US sales was about 271.
Lisa JenningsHOST
So we're talking about 860 million, you know, system wide.

Lisa JenningsHOST
Really, I feel like the conversation has been more about The balance between technology that can move the needle and human interaction, finding that balance.
Lisa JenningsHOST
And overwhelmingly, we heard actually from Technomic yesterday, Rich Schenck went into, it was a somewhat pessimistic view, but he did talk about the threat of C-stores, which is kind of an interesting aspect that a lot of consumers now are looking at C-stores.
Lisa JenningsHOST
and seeing that the food service options there, they're all building their food service strategies, are as good as restaurants.
Lisa JenningsHOST
So that's going to be a real threat to the industry, especially in terms of beverages too.

This week, checking in on drive-thru AI from my hotel room at the FSTech conference.
Joe GuskowskiCORRESPONDENT
Burger King this week said it's changing its approach to drive-thru AI because some customers just don't like ordering with a robot.
Joe GuskowskiCORRESPONDENT
That came after Technomic shared data showing that 46% of consumers find the prospect of ordering from AI in the drive-thru unappealing.
Joe GuskowskiCORRESPONDENT
While there are questions about how well drive-thru AI actually works, its biggest hurdle may be winning over customers who don't want to use it.

Ashleigh GriffithGUEST

Ashleigh GriffithGUEST
And so a, a lot of people have been challenged with, how do we follow where, where our customers, where Gen Alpha and Gen Z are- ... wanting, you know, beverage to go.
Ashleigh GriffithGUEST
How do we get them into our doors when traffic is at a wall, sales, we're kind of capped on how we can grow the business? And so it's been a discounting journey for some, and it's been an experience and innovation journey.
