Through this partnership, Culver’s locations gain industry-leading insights powered by advanced camera vision, enabling real-time measurement of service execution, vehicle flow, throughput, and other mission-critical performance metrics, all within a privacy-first framework that safeguards guests and team members. Similar to how digital integration platforms have transformed order aggregation and menu orchestration across multi-channel environments, Berry AI’s technology centralizes real-time operational visibility across the enterprise, integrating seamlessly into existing workflows and POS ecosystems. This equips operators at every level with the intelligence needed to make faster decisions and maintain consistent performance.
Delivering real, genuine hospitality and a consistently excellent experience requires deep insight into every interaction,” said Rich Modjeski, Culver’s Chief Operating Officer. “Berry AI’s vision technology will elevate our guests’ experiences by empowering our restaurant teams to make informed decisions that improve speed and ensure accuracy.”
Culver’s joins a growing portfolio of QSR brands nationwide leveraging Berry AI’s AI-enabled cameras and proprietary analytics to transform enhanced visibility into actionable operational intelligence. Across deployments, partners have reported up to 70% jumps in drive thru comps, 20-40% reductions in drive-thru service times, and up to 20% improvements in throughput. These measurable gains are a critical priority for high-volume QSR operators across drive-thru, dine-in, and pickup channels.
“The scale of this deployment underscores how fast the quick service restaurant industry is moving from AI experimentation to AI standardization,” said Eric Lam, CEO of Berry AI. “Culver’s’ commitment to operational intelligence at this scale signals a bigger shift: Vision AI is core infrastructure for modern QSR’s.”
