American Marconi Wireless News - Foodtastic Taps Sadie AI as Preferred Voice AI Partner

The company piloted the technology at Milestones in the fall and will begin launching it at Milestones locations in February, with plans to expand to other full-service restaurant brands over time. Sadie AI handles inbound phone calls 24/7, answering common questions, booking reservations, and supporting phone-based ordering.

"This is about applying technology where it actually improves restaurant operations," said Vlad Ciobanu, Senior Vice-President, Marketing at Foodtastic. "Following a successful pilot, we're launching Sadie AI, starting with our full-service restaurants and making it available across our brands as a practical solution to manage calls, reservations, and guest inquiries at scale."

The pilot demonstrated the extent to which Sadie AI can help to reduce operational strain, capture more revenue, and deliver a faster, more consistent guest experience.

For restaurants, the phone remains one of the most critical yet, at times, challenging and potentially disruptive channels from a human resources perspective. Sadie AI solves this by ensuring no call goes unanswered, even during peak hours. Guests receive instant, accurate responses about hours, locations, menus, and promotions, while reservations and orders are seamlessly handled without pulling staff away from in-store service.

"We're thrilled to partner with Foodtastic and support its brands at scale," said Stuart Lachovsky, VP of Partnerships at Sadie AI. "Restaurants lose revenue and trust from guests every time a phone call is unanswered. Sadie AI turns the phone into a revenue-generating, guest-friendly channel, without adding labour or complexity."

The rollout of Sadie AI across participating Foodtastic brands is scheduled for Q1 2026, reinforcing Foodtastic's commitment to adopting scalable, franchise-friendly technologies that improve performance across its network.

Sadie AI will also be showcasing its Voice AI platform at the RC Show in Toronto from March 8-10 at Booth 5031. Attendees are invited to visit the team to see live demonstrations and learn how AI-powered voice automation is transforming restaurant operations.
