MONTRÉAL, QUEBEC / ACCESS Newswire / February 17, 2026 / Sadie AI, a provider of AI-powered solutions for the hospitality industry, today announced a strategic partnership with Payfacto to integrate Sadie AI’s voice ordering technology directly into Payfacto’s portfolio of restaurant point-of-sale systems. The integration will support Maître’D Classic, Veloce, and Virtuo, enabling restaurants to automate phone-in pickup orders, reduce ordering errors, and ensure no customer call goes unanswered.
Phone orders remain a critical revenue channel for restaurants, but they often place significant strain on staff during peak service periods. Missed calls, long hold times, and manual order entry can lead to lost revenue and frustrated guests. Sadie AI’s voice solution addresses these challenges by automatically answering incoming calls, capturing pickup orders with confirmation, and routing them directly into the POS system. This allows restaurant teams to stay focused on in-venue service while maintaining fast, accurate, and reliable phone ordering.
“Phone orders are still essential for restaurants, but they are also one of the hardest channels to manage during busy service periods,” said Stuart Lachovsky, VP of Partnerships at Sadie AI. “By integrating Sadie’s voice AI directly with Payfacto’s POS systems, including Maître’D Classic, Veloce, and Virtuo, we are helping operators reduce errors, protect revenue, and ensure they never miss a call.”
The integration delivers immediate operational benefits for hospitality operators, including guaranteed call handling during peak hours, improved order accuracy, and seamless POS workflows without the need for additional hardware or disruptive process changes.
“At Payfacto, we focus on delivering technology that solves real operational challenges for hospitality operators,” said Steven Raymond, Vice President, Sales PAY/POS North America. “Partnering with Sadie AI allows us to enhance our POS offerings with intelligent voice automation that improves efficiency while delivering a better ordering experience for both staff and customers.”
Sadie AI’s voice solution will be available across Payfacto’s hospitality POS lineup, reinforcing both companies’ shared commitment to innovation, reliability, and restaurant success.
