Caden Dahl's questions to SoundHound AI Inc (SOUN) leadership • Q2 2025
Question
Caden Dahl, on for James Fish, asked about the status of signing larger QSR opportunities and inquired about the current penetration of drive-through solutions within SoundHound's restaurant business.
Answer
CFO Nitesh Sharan stated that while SoundHound works with 7 of the top 20 QSRs, there is significant room to scale within existing partners and win new ones, highlighting their agility and unique Voice Commerce offering as differentiators. He clarified that of the 14,000 active locations, the majority are phone-ordering, while drive-through is growing fast but has more hardware requirements, which they are addressing with partners and innovative, smaller-footprint solutions.
