Raj Suri, Founder & CEO of Presto

This week, we speak with Raj Suri, Founder and CEO of Presto.
Presto entered into a $634 million combination agreement with
Ventoux CCM Acquisition Corp. (NASDAQ:VTAQ) in November 2021.


If you’ve ordered a fast-food meal using a smart touch screen or
talking to a voice AI recently, there’s a good chance Presto made
that order happen. The company has developed both hardware
and software that serve to automate quick-service ordering and it
counts some of America’s biggest fast-food chains among its
clients.


Raj talks about how Presto plans to expand within its clients'
chains and what the future of automated restaurants looks
like. He also speaks to how both Presto and Ventoux have
ridden out the difficult market conditions and why Presto could
serve as a hedge stock against inflation once the deal closes.
