Fast Food Advances Towards an 'AI-First' Future, Says Nitin Lodha, The eCommerce Consultant

he fast food industry is on the verge of a significant transformation, with artificial intelligence (AI) leading the charge. As digital platforms continue to gain prominence, it is projected that by 2025, nearly 45% of fast food business will be conducted through these channels. However, the challenge lies in building a digital presence that is not dominated by any single platform. This is where AI comes into play, offering a plethora of opportunities for innovation and growth.

Nitin Lodha, Principal Business Advisor at Chitrangana.com, India's leading eCommerce consultancy, emphasizes the need for an AI-first approach in the fast food industry. "The integration of AI is crucial for managing demographic-oriented floors and adapting to real-time demand," says Lodha. He believes that AI can personalize the customer experience by understanding individual profiles and automatically adjusting taste enhancers, ensuring a consistent and customized taste for every customer worldwide.

The demand for fast food in India is expected to double by 2030, and AI is poised to play a crucial role in meeting this surge. Generative AI, in particular, is set to revolutionize the industry. "The combination of AI and compact semi-automatic robotics has the potential to transform the fast food business," Lodha notes.

Beyond taste and demand management, AI can contribute to healthier eating habits. Lodha envisions a future where fast food brands use AI to track customer food choices and monitor basic health parameters, promoting healthier options and encouraging physical activity.

"The future is AI in everything," Lodha asserts. He also sees the potential for a "Health and Food Super App," combining the convenience of fast food with a focus on health and wellness. By 2028, he believes that all types of restaurants will need to start using robots to maintain the quality and consistency of their food. Additionally, AI-driven demand and supply management could open the doors to dynamic pricing for quick-service restaurants (QSRs).

In conclusion, the fast food industry is on the cusp of a technological transformation. By embracing AI and automation, businesses can enhance customer experiences, manage demand more effectively, and even promote healthier eating habits. As Nitin Lodha suggests, the future is not just about interacting with technology, but making it accessible and integrated into every aspect of the fast food experience.
