Bo-Linda™ is Bojangles’ branded conversational AI system built to automate the drive-thru ordering experience. It integrates directly with the restaurant’s [[point of sale system]] (POS system) and [[kitchen display systems]], using advanced speech recognition and natural language understanding to process orders efficiently in real time.
More on Bo-Linda™️
Developed as part of Bojangles’ digital modernization strategy, Bo-Linda™ uses artificial intelligence to greet customers, interpret their spoken orders, and send them to the connected POS system for immediate entry. The AI can handle complex menu combinations, recognize accents, and confirm modifications — maintaining consistency even during peak hours.
This innovation aligns with a broader quick-service restaurant ([[QSR]]) trend toward AI-enabled automation, reducing the workload on staff and improving order throughput. Bo-Linda™ demonstrates how regional and national brands are adopting AI to deliver faster service, lower error rates, and optimize workforce allocation.
