    What Is Voice Ordering for Restaurants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Voice ordering (also known as voice commerce) is a customer engagement channel that uses voice recognition technology to help restaurants receive orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    People can simply use their smart home devices to interact and perform tasks such as placing an order in a restaurant. The voice recognition technology (which is usually AI-enable) interprets the voice commands and performs the requested task.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    (Okay, my pepperoni pizza is here. I will have it. You can hop on to the next point till then.)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Emergence of Voice Search in the Restaurant Industry<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    The inception of voice recognition technology dates back to the 1950s. But we aren\u2019t going that back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    So cutting the long story short, the major event in the space of voice recognition is Google adding personalized recognition to voice search on Android phones in 2010.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Since then, this technology has gone through a tremendous evolution. Today, we have smart home devices with more advanced AI. People cannot just interact with the voice assistant, but also perform various tasks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Additionally, with the likes of Google Assistant, Siri, and Alexa, it has become prevalent that voice search is just going to get better and better.<\/em><\/strong><\/pre>\n\n\n\n
    Now talking about the topic at hand, the use of voice recognition in voice food ordering is still in its infancy. However, this fresh piece of technology has great potential within the restaurant industry and is likely to change the way people order food.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    The reason I am making such tall statements is because of certain data points that I have seen in the last couple of years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    A survey<\/a> that polled 1,000 adults in the U.S. has got some interesting insight into this affair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
