Wendy's is testing Spanish-speaking AI capabilities in the drive-thrus of 28 company-operated restaurants in Florida and Ohio to further appeal to its diverse customer base, the fast-food chain said.
While still in its early testing stages, the new Wendy's FreshAI Spanish-language ability is helping the burger seller "better serve Spanish-speaking customers through technology," the Dublin, Ohio-based company said in a news release.
To begin an order in Spanish, customers simply need to say "Spanish" or "Español" into the Wendy's FreshAI microphone to prompt the new pilot language. The system will then speak and process the full order entirely in Spanish, according to Wendy's.

Washington — The Supreme Court on Thursday cleared the way for the Trump administration to deport a group of migrants with criminal records held at a U.S. naval base in Djibouti, clarifying the scope of its earlier order that lifted restrictions on removals to countries that are not deportees' places of origin.
