We automate the person taking orders at drive-thrus with a voice AI. At Lilac, we automate the person taking order at the drive thru with a voice AI. We're building this for Quick Service Restaurants (QSRs) dealing with an historical labor shortage and rising wages. Previous attempts at drive-thru voice ordering are costly to implement and have failed to deliver the accuracy and latency needed. It's now possible to build a voice interface that passes the threshold for a great customer experience. In the United States, there are 200,000 Drive-Thrus handling 6 Billion visits a year. At 3 minutes per order, that's 34,000 human years spent on taking orders annually. Per location, on average we can deliver around $100,000 of value in terms of labor savings, upsell revenue lift, and training costs.
CPQ for humans and agents. You closed your first few deals on handshakes and Stripe links. Now a customer wants a ramp-up, custom terms, or annual billing — and suddenly you're duct-taping spreadsheets to your CRM. Most CPQ tools are built for 500-person sales orgs with a dedicated RevOps team. Veles is built for you. AI agents handle quoting, approvals, and deal docs end-to-end so you can run a real sales motion without hiring a deal desk. It's free for founders just getting started, and pricing scales with the number of active contracts you manage — so we only grow when you do. No CRM consultant, no six-month rollout. Just connect Salesforce or HubSpot and start closing.
