Casey's General Stores to Rollout SYNQ3 Restaurant Solution's Conversational AI Voice Ordering

Casey's, a visionary leader in the convenience store industry with over 2,500 stores, and the fifth-largest pizza chain in the US, is driving innovation forward by providing their guests with the voice ordering experience of the future. Through the implementation of Conversational AI across their stores, they've significantly enhanced their off-premise order-taking capabilities and operational efficiencies while radically enhancing the guest experience.

COLORADO SPRINGS, CO / ACCESSWIRE / September 6, 2023 / Casey's General Stores, the third-largest convenience store and the fifth-largest pizza chain in the US, announced today the system-wide rollout of AVA (Automated Voice Assistant), a conversational AI voice ordering system that is powered by SYNQ3 Restaurant Solutions' technology: SYNQ Voice.

"We are excited to partner with SYNQ3 to give our team members more time to focus on our guests and operating our stores," said Sanjeev Satturu, Chief Information Officer, Casey's. "We are committed to reducing friction on our guests and team members by leveraging technology to simplify and streamline the ordering experience."

At the end of 2022, Casey's initiated a test with SYNQ3 to align with their three-year strategic plan to accelerate the off-premise food business and enhance operational efficiency. AVA enhances the ordering experience for their guests by promptly answering every call, provides convenient reorder options and processes new orders in a natural conversational interaction. Casey's team members benefit from the streamlined operational execution that allows them to focus on fulfilling orders and serving guests in stores.

Casey's partnered with SYNQ3 and deployed their autonomous conversational AI ordering technology, SYNQ Voice. This cutting-edge technology warmly greets guests, consistently provides upsell suggestions, accurately takes and confirms orders and connects with both Casey's point-of-sale (POS) system and best-in-class loyalty program, Casey's Rewards, all without requiring any intervention from Casey's team members. Encouraged by the positive outcomes, including SYNQ Voice taking an increasing number of their phone orders, Casey's has made the decision to roll out AVA across their system.

SYNQ3 CEO, a restaurant pioneer, Steve Bigari said, "Casey's is a brand synonymous with visionary leadership. Their commitment to customer satisfaction and quality service is inspiring. Their forward-thinking leadership and dedication to lead with innovative technologies will revolutionize off-premise order-taking and continue to reinforce Casey's as an industry trailblazer."
