Presto raises $10M for restaurant voice AI

Presto raised $10 million from Remus Capital-affiliated and existing investors on September 28 as it expands Voice AI deployments across quick-service restaurants. The funding announcement says the capital will fund product, operations, and wider deployments, while naming Toast, ElevenLabs, and Bluejay as recent partners. For builders, this is another signal that voice agents are moving from demos into narrow, high-volume channels: the useful integration target is not a general assistant but a standardized workflow that can absorb deployment friction, much like OpenAI’s audio-first hardware bet treats voice as an interface rather than a feature.
