⚠️ Burger King deploys AI “Patty” to coach employees in real time According to The Verge, Burger King is piloting an AI assistant called Patty, an OpenAI-powered tool embedded directly into employee headsets. It’s part of the broader “BK Assistant” platform rolling out across U.S. locations. What Patty actually does: • Helps staff with menu prep instructions • Flags inventory shortages & equipment issues • Syncs with cloud POS systems • Listens for service phrases like “please,” “welcome,” and “thank you” The system is powered by models from OpenAI and is currently being tested in 500 restaurants. Burger King says it’s a coaching tool, not a punishment system. The bigger shift? AI isn’t replacing workers here, it’s supervising them. @aipost 🏴
