Competition
No incumbent solution exists for ambient voice capture in full-service dining with direct POS injection.
| Category | Examples | Why They're Not Relay |
|---|---|---|
| QR / Tablet Ordering | Toast TakeOut, Square Online | Requires guest behavior change; high abandonment in dine-in |
| Drive-Through Voice AI | SoundHound, ConverseNow | Fixed menus; cannot handle dine-in complexity |
| Kitchen Display / Workflow | KitchenOS, Fresh KDS | Post-order optimization; doesn't address order capture |
