Tech & McD's

When you go to McDonald's, do you go inside or do you drive-thru? Apparently a lot of us don't want to get out of the car. Surprisingly, most -- a whopping 70% -- of McDonald's sales come from the drive-thru.


So the drive-thru window is already McDonald's great strength. That segment of its business deserves the executives' attention, and they made a big move to make it even stronger. They bought Dynamic Yield, an "artificial intelligence powered personalization platform operator," to improve it.

AI technology now allows the drive-thru menu to change and adapt to the circumstances and the customer. Suggestions are made as the customer orders, like a combo meal or an oreo mcflurry on a hot day. AI can anticipate what would likely appeal.

Shorter lines, customer satisfaction, and more sales result.
