Savor AI 50: Meet the 5 Finalists for Best Loyalty & Personalization AI
New Toast data out this week says up to 50% of a restaurant's order volume can come from just 7% of its guests, and that moving a guest into a loyalty program lifts their return rate from a 7% baseline to nearly 30%. Most of the rest of the guest base is still anonymous: 57% of orders on Toast's platform carry no guest data at all. The five Best Loyalty & Personalization AI finalists are using AI to find those guests, recognize them and give each one a reason to come back. Meet the finalists for Best Loyalty & Personalization AI in the Savor AI 50: The 2026 Restaurant AI Awards. Winners are revealed Dec. 1.
