Drive-thru crews talk less at the window when voice AI takes the order

Drive-thru crews talk less at the window when voice AI takes the order

Intouch Insight’s 2026 drive-thru mystery shops found voice AI fully handled 40% of encounters, up from 20%, and order accuracy rose. The shift shows up at the window: when AI took the order, active verbal engagement dropped. That suggests operators may need to focus on coaching and window standards as they scale voice AI.

  • 01Scorecards that track only speaker speed and accuracy could improve with voice AI even as untracked window behaviors slip, so operators may need to measure the window separately.

STONEY ginger beer trades its brown bottle for clear PET in South Africa

STONEY ginger beer trades its brown bottle for clear PET in South Africa

STONEY ginger beer, a Coca-Cola brand in South Africa, is switching from brown to clear PET bottles, starting with the 2.25-litre size in June 2026. SPRITE made the same move from green. Coca-Cola says labels and closure colours will carry STONEY recognition, and the rest of the range shifts over time.

  • 01Once STONEY goes clear, the label and the cap carry the brand, so those specs need the same lock-down the brown tint used to get.
  • 02The STONEY move follows SPRITE’s switch from green to clear plastic bottles in South Africa, and could signal a brand-by-brand approach to coloured bottles.
  • 03The signal to watch is the next STONEY size to go clear: so far only the 2.25-litre bottle is confirmed, and no dates have been given for the rest of the range.

Dogs and cats approached and ate the microbial-protein bowl first in an in-home test

In a four-meal, two-bowl test in pets' homes, dogs and cats showed a short-term preference for kibble containing MicroHarvest's microbial protein. Independent lab results showed comparable macronutrients, but long-term feeding data is still needed.

  • 01The study reports short-term preference in dogs and cats; the authors cite long-term palatability and health outcomes as next questions, ideally in a multi-week feeding study that includes cats.
