Wendy's Is Introducing Uber-Style 'Surge Pricing'
Wendy's Is Introducing Uber-Style 'Surge Pricing'
Kirk Tanner, the new CEO and president of Wendy’s, shared with analysts his various plans to increase company profits, including investing in digital menu boards that will have the capacity to display dynamic pricing that fluctuates throughout the day by 2025. Here's what customers need to know.
You're viewing a single thread.
The other totally bizarre part of this is:
Tanner stated, “Beginning as early as 2025, we will begin testing more enhanced features like dynamic pricing and daypart offerings along with AI-enabled menu changes and suggestive selling.”
I realize AI is just a corporate buzzword now, but I would love to hear him try to explain what the fuck that means.
It's going to bilndly pile all the best selling ingredients together and suggest some monstrosity lol
You know, I’d fuck with it. It would be kind of incredible to watch a cook improv insane suggestions from an AI, if they’re on-board and compensated, etc, etc.
Isn't this just Taco Bell?
AI nowadays is becoming synonymous with algorithms. There's no artificial intelligence, just a narrow set of rules. If a computer does anything for you, they call it AI.
It's pretty obvious that he intends to leverage AI to facilitate upward revenue dynamics by synergizing their backward overflow. How was that not clear? /s
It's all cromulent now.
That's a stupid question!
The only way to do that would be to reverse the polarity in the matter stream, but that requires mark VII Heisenberg compensators, and they have to be tuned just right... So the machines will constantly be down for repairs, like a McDonald's ice "cream" machine.
Person typically orders chicken sandwich and frosty together in the Wendy’s app.
All knowing AI uses 300 million volts to conclude that comboing those together in the app may result in a sale
AI is truly the future.
joke's on them. unless I had a hankering for a non-meal item before I started ordering, I'm not getting it. and almost always I don't have a hankering.
