The Voice-Enabled Restaurant

otels, restaurants and bar operations all want an easy and efficient way to take inventory. The simple voiceengaged technology app saves time, money and helps with a no-contact application. We talked to Michael Atkinson, CEO and founder of VoiceStar, and who is a seasoned restaurant, digital and technology entrepreneur. StarBar.ai was released in early March 2020, but due to COVID-19, the official launch for VoiceINV was delayed. We all understand the industry has changed because of the pandemic. Productivity and safety are now very much on operators’ minds as they reopen with a great deal of uncertainty. VoiceINV delivers efficiency in a safe “touchless” way never before available across the food, hospitality and retail environments. Taking inventory is a management function all restaurants, hotels, pubs, bars, cruise ships, venues and convenience retail outlets, among other facilities, must execute weekly and monthly. No one enjoys taking
inventory when using a slow, inefficient process. Atkinson said, “We conceived, built and published the first voice counting platform. VoiceINV: Bar™ and VoiceINV: Food™ are the first voice plus AI platforms to count bar and food inventory, generate cost analysis, theft detection, real-time insights and dashboards, and automate asset management and purchasing.” It’s primarily a touchless inventory counting application, available as a download on both Apple and Google app stores. VoiceINV uses artificial intelligence to expedite the manual process and machine learning to improve the results. See it. Say it. Count it.™ While focusing initially on voice-enabling food and bar products for counting and inventory applications, other vertical applications and use cases are prevalent. “We believe counting is second only to ‘search’ in daily life for consumers and businesses alike. Using your voice to count, instead of using paper and pen, saves time
and money. It also translates to other digital platforms for consumer convenience with ordering, searching and many touchless or no-contact activities — not to mention the environmental impact with no paper listing sheets,” Atkinson reinforced.
