Presto Phoenix, Inc. (“Presto”), the leader in enterprise-grade Voice AI for quick-service restaurants (QSRs), today announced a new campaign with USA Cares Inc., a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting veterans and military families in crisis. Beginning Memorial Day, Presto’s AI-powered drive-thru ordering solution will invite guests at select Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s restaurants across the United States to contribute $1 or more donations in support of veterans and military families.
The Memorial Day campaign is part of Presto’s broader commitment to leveraging AI technology to create meaningful impact beyond restaurant operations and customer service. The initiative also serves as one of Presto’s featured programs within its “100 Days of Celebration” campaign commemorating America’s 250th birthday.
“Memorial Day is an opportunity to honor the sacrifice and service of America’s veterans and military families,” said Krishna Gupta, CEO of Presto. “We are proud to partner with USA Cares and participating restaurant operators to use our AI technology for giving back. By integrating charitable giving directly into the drive-thru experience, we hope to make it easy for Americans to support veteran families in a meaningful way.”
USA Cares provides critical financial assistance and advocacy services to post-9/11 military families facing hardship, helping veterans and their loved ones with housing, utilities, food insecurity, career transition, and emergency support.
“USA Cares is honored to partner with Presto on this innovative campaign supporting the military community,” said Matt Castor, President and CEO of USA Cares. “Every donation made through this initiative will help us continue delivering life-changing support to veterans and military families facing financial hardship. We are grateful to Presto and participating restaurant operators for helping raise awareness and providing customers with a simple way to make a difference.”
The campaign will roll out at select Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s locations nationwide beginning Memorial Day.
