Vox AI, an Amsterdam-based conversational voice AI platform, has raised $8.7 million in seed funding, led by Headline with participation from True, Simon Capital, and Souschef Ventures, bringing its total funding to $10 million. Announced on August 27, 2025, this investment will drive Vox AI’s global expansion, including a new San Francisco office, targeting the $1 trillion quick-service restaurant (QSR) market facing labor shortages and operational complexities.
Vox AI’s platform delivers a multilingual voice assistant handling drive-thru and mobile orders in over 90 languages, with no human-in-the-loop required. Its autonomous AI ensures high accuracy and scalability across locations. “Vox AI is pushing voice technology far beyond generic Natural Language Processing,” said Vox AI co-founder and CEO Maurice Kroon. “Our goal is to make voice the de facto interface for every QSR location - without the need to upgrade their current hardware.”
The platform’s features include Drive-Thru Voice AI Ordering for 24/7 service, Real-World Intelligence that adapts to dialects and ambient noise, and seamless integration with existing QSR tech stacks. Mobile Voice Ordering streamlines pre-orders, while Employee Assist provides hands-free shift guidance and inventory alerts. Early deployments with major fast-food chains show up to 17x ROI, shorter queues, improved upselling, and higher customer satisfaction.
Vox AI’s solution addresses critical QSR challenges like high turnover and wage pressures. “Vox AI delivers something the QSR space has never had before: autonomous, intelligent, real-time voice interaction at a global scale. It’s not a feature – it’s a platform shift,” said Dominic Wilhelm, Partner at Headline. The technology’s ability to enhance employee focus on meaningful tasks positions Vox AI as a game-changer in the industry.
Vox AI’s funding and innovative platform mark a significant step toward redefining QSR operations. By leveraging autonomous voice AI, the company is poised to enhance efficiency, customer satisfaction, and global scalability, setting a new standard for fast-food interactions.
