Las Vegas, NV, March 9-11, 2026 – Newo.ai will participate in MURTEC 2026, the annual conference for restaurant technology leaders, taking place March 9–11 at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. The event brings together operators and technology teams from brands representing more than 45,000 restaurant locations and over $150 billion in combined revenue.
Newo.ai is supporting this year’s conference as the AI Visionary Sponsor and will join industry researchers and restaurant operators in discussions about how artificial intelligence is reshaping restaurant technology.
Newo.ai founder David Yang will speak on the panel:
HT Research: Exclusive Data and Insights From the 2026 Restaurant Technology Study
Monday, March 9 | 3:10–3:50 PM
MURTEC University – Session 3B
The panel will explore new research on technology adoption in restaurants and the growing role of AI in operations and guest communication.
While restaurants have spent the last decade investing heavily in digital ordering, one of the most important customer channels remains largely manual: the phone.
Digital orders now represent roughly 30 percent of restaurant revenue, leaving a large share of customer interactions, including catering inquiries, reservations, and complex takeout orders are still handled by phone.
“When a restaurant misses a call during the lunch rush, it’s usually a lost order,” said David Yang, co-founder of Newo.ai. “The phone is still one of the most important ways customers interact with restaurants. Our goal is to help restaurants make sure those opportunities aren’t missed.”
Newo.ai develops AI voice agents designed for multi-location restaurant brands that can automatically answer calls, handle orders, respond to customer questions, and support restaurant teams during peak hours.
Members of the Newo.ai team will be attending MURTEC throughout the conference and meeting with restaurant operators and technology leaders to discuss how AI voice agents can support restaurant operations and customer service.
