Identity

Owner
ConverseNow Technologies, Inc.
Founded
2018, Austin, Texas. Founders Vinay Shukla (CEO) and Rahul Aggarwal (Chief Product Officer), who previously built Endeavor Software Technologies together and sold it to Genpact in 2016 — https://conversenow.ai/about.html (retrieved 2026-08-02)
Scale
2,000+ restaurants at the time of the Valyant AI acquisition (July 2024). The vendor's own About page claims coverage of '40+ states'; Deliverect's integration listing shows the product live in five countries — Australia, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States (retrieved 2026-08-02). Vendor-claimed volume metrics, claim-level only: 2,000,000+ conversations per month and 83,000+ labor hours repurposed per month (homepage); 1M+ calls since the May 2025 release, 4.55/5 guest satisfaction, 95% drive-thru non-intervention rate and 90%+ order accuracy (platform-updates page). Current location count, headcount and ARR are not disclosed. Total disclosed venture funding is reported at roughly $29M across three rounds by private-market aggregators; treat as unverified.
Who it is for
Multi-unit pizza and QSR chains — enterprise and franchise brands running Aloha, Brink, Qu, Xpient, Focus or Olo, deploying across dozens to thousands of stores. Named brands in press coverage: Domino's, Wingstop, Jet's Pizza, Denny's, Fazoli's, Hardee's/Carl's Jr., Blake's Lotaburger. Not an independent-single-store product: there is no self-serve signup, no published price and no trial — every path on the site ends at 'Book a Consultation'.
Site

Lineage

Pricing

transparency: quote-only · unit: unknown · processor lock-in: no

Software
quote-only. Terms of Use section 5 states ConverseNow 'charges you a subscription fee for Services in the amount set forth in the order form or invoice', billed 'monthly, quarterly or annual', with payment due in 30 days and 1.5%-per-month interest on late amounts. No dollar figure appears anywhere on the site and the sitemap contains no pricing page. A $299/month 'Standard Plan' figure circulates via competitor comparison pages and SEO aggregators with no vendor attribution; it is not recorded here.
Card processing
not applicable — ConverseNow is not a payment processor and publishes no card rates. Its end-user terms state 'Pricing, payment processing, taxes, and receipts are handled by the Restaurant or its payment processors.'
Contract
unknown — the published Terms of Use has no Term section; billing frequency (monthly, quarterly or annual) is stated but the commitment lives in the unpublished order form
Early termination
unknown — the published Terms of Use contains no termination, early-exit or liquidated-damages clause in either direction
Hardware
none — ConverseNow sells no hardware SKU

API posture

public API: partner-gated

Cost to integrate
unknown — no published partner program, certification fee or revenue-share terms. Access runs through 'Book a Consultation'.
Webhooks
unknown — no webhook contract, event catalogue, retry policy or signing model is published
Data export on exit
unknown — no documented bulk export of call transcripts, order records or guest data. The privacy policy (https://conversenow.ai/privacy-policy.html) routes individual data-subject requests through the 'Parent Restaurant Organization' with 30-day access and 45-90 day deletion windows, and states general personal data is retained for the period necessary for service execution up to 1 year. The Terms of Use is silent on post-termination data return. No operator-facing self-serve export is documented.
Notes
Direction of integration is inbound-to-POS: ConverseNow writes orders into Aloha/Brink/Qu/Xpient/Focus/Olo and, since April 2026, into Deliverect's order-management platform, rather than exposing a POS of its own. The 'Order Injection API' is marketed as the inverse — driving ConverseNow's ordering engine from a customer's own mobile app or kiosk. No specification, auth model, versioning policy, rate limit or changelog is published for either direction. docs., api., developer. and developers.conversenow.ai do not resolve (probed 2026-08-02); status.conversenow.ai does, and exposes 'API Server' and 'POS Server' as monitored components — so the API exists, it is simply not documented publicly.

order-capture-floor-plan-editor

Grade corrected from E to C by the 2026-08-02 adversarial pass — the cited URL is the vendor's own feature page, not third-party reporting — and the stale 2026-08-01 retrieval date refreshed to match the surrounding scope-absence sweep. Value unchanged and correct: ConverseNow's complete published product set is four voice/API products, there is no terminal, no table entity and no seating model of any kind, so a graphical floor-plan editor is absent by product scope. https://conversenow.ai/products.html · retrieved 2026-08-02 adversarially verified

No

order-capture-offline-order-entry

No terminals or handhelds of any kind, so there is nothing on which to create orders when the internet is down, and no offline scope document is published. Same reasoning as reliability-offline-order-entry; the Qu edge announcement does not describe an offline order-entry surface.

order-capture-kiosk-first-party differentiator

The evidence is the bullet "Kiosk compatibility" under the Order Injection API. That supports the API/channel cells, not a first-party kiosk. ConverseNow ships no kiosk software or hardware SKU and publishes no ADA/VPAT or unattended-EMV detail. Scoring partial on a *first-party* cell from a compatibility bullet is exactly the marketing-as-capability error. adversarially verified

order-capture-drive-thru

Downgraded from partial by the 2026-08-02 adversarial pass. The claim enumerates three drive-thru workflow elements — order-point/pay-window/pickup-window separation, order sequencing or tandem-lane assignment, and pull-forward or parking-spot assignment — and none is evidenced. The Drive-Thru Automation bullets are "Reduced wait times", "Increased throughput", "Track order accuracy" and "Real-time analytics"; the December 2024 update adds a non-intervention rate and order confirmation boards. Nothing touches lane structure or vehicle sequencing, and ConverseNow ships no lane controller or timer. The existence of a drive-thru voice product is credited at digital-drivethru-ai and order-capture-voice-ai; it does not carry this cell. adversarially verified

The vendor's platform-update page documents the December 2024 next-generation GenAI launch "across phone, text, drive-through, and kiosks for all served brands" with "POS system integration", a 95% non-intervention rate defined as orders handled entirely by AI without live agent assistance, over 90% order accuracy and sub-second response; the May 2025 entry reports 4.55/5 satisfaction across more than a million calls and a 25% reduction in order time. A first-party voice agent whose completed orders are written into the integrated POS (Aloha, Brink, Qu, Xpient, Focus, Fiserv, Olo, ItsaCheckmate) — the claim exactly. https://conversenow.ai/insights.html · retrieved 2026-08-02 adversarially verified

Real configuration, but on axes orthogonal to the claim. Shortfall: no per-item configuration, no per-channel scoping, and no vendor-reported attach rate on the prompts.

SMS AI Conversations is one of four enumerated first-party products ("Easy text ordering", "Order status updates"), and the December 2024 platform update puts text into production rather than merely naming it: the next-generation GenAI platform was launched "across phone, text, drive-through, and kiosks for all served brands", with "POS system integration". Conversational text ordering that lands in the POS is the whole of this claim. Outstanding disclosure gaps that fall outside it: no 10DLC or consent-handling detail, no described payment-capture path over SMS, and no separate SMS product documentation. https://conversenow.ai/insights.html · retrieved 2026-08-02 adversarially verified

digital-promo-parity

Unknown re-confirmed by the 2026-08-02 adversarial pass, on corrected grounds. The prior pass could not locate the cited language and downgraded partly for that reason; the language is in fact on the product page — promotional management via configurable "Coupons/Discounts" with options to "honor vs offer, optimizing for local deals" — and the original citation was accurate. It still does not reach the claim, which requires a discount defined once to be honoured identically across POS, kiosk and first-party digital with channel eligibility controls. ConverseNow operates none of those as ordering surfaces, promotions are defined in the POS, and whether the voice agent honours or offers a coupon says nothing about cross-channel parity or eligibility control. adversarially verified

extensibility-order-injection-api

Downgraded from partial by the 2026-08-02 adversarial pass, which found the cell scored off a product name rather than the product. The claim wants a public write API accepting externally originated orders into the POS as first-class tickets that fire to KDS and printers and land in reporting. The Order Injection API runs the other direction — "Mobile app integration", "Kiosk compatibility", "Custom workflows" — a third-party UI driving ConverseNow's voice ordering engine, on a platform that owns no POS. It is also not public: no specification, auth model, versioning policy, rate limit or changelog, and docs., api., developer. and developers.conversenow.ai do not resolve.

The shortfall that actually caps this cell is directional: the claim asks whether the POS is a supported endpoint these platforms route orders to, and ConverseNow is the order source using them as its own POS-integration layer.

Downgraded from partial by the 2026-08-02 adversarial pass after retrieving the Qu release directly.

The one ConverseNow-attributed edge statement is a LinkedIn marketing post about running ASR, LLM and TTS on-device: the speech stack, not the ordering path, which the same release places in the POS. The claim requires the vendor to document a local transaction engine for the ordering path; ConverseNow documents nothing, and a partner press release plus a social post is not documentation. adversarially verified

Still unknown, now with the actual terms in hand rather than a sitemap. Terms of Use section 5 offers billing "on a monthly, quarterly or annual basis", but billing frequency is not term length, and the document contains no Term section — the commitment is set in the order form, which is not public.

There is no Term, Termination, Renewal or liquidated-damages section. The claim asks whether published terms state that no early termination fee applies; they verifiably do not, which is positive evidence of absence of a published commitment.

Terms of Use section 5 charges only "a subscription fee for Services in the amount set forth in the order form or invoice" — no merchant account, processing schedule or rate language anywhere in its thirteen sections. ConverseNow is neither acquirer nor PayFac and cannot lock a settlement path it does not touch. Caveat carried forward: the CIPA litigation record indicates the AI takes card details by phone, so the tokenisation and handoff path is undocumented — a payments-security unknown, not a bundling one. https://conversenow.ai/end-user-terms.html · retrieved 2026-08-02 adversarially verified

An independent pass was instructed to refute this record, defaulting to downgrade when uncertain. It challenged 40 values — 21 upheld, 18 downgraded, 1 upgraded.

Pricing and identity

FieldVerdictWhat the verifier found
pricing.softwareupheldVerified: no pricing page, no dollar figure on any reachable page, CTA is 'Book a Consultation'. Note that a $299/month 'Standard Plan' figure circulates via hostie.ai (a direct competitor's comparison page), futurepedia, softwareworld and a TrustRadius pricing stub — all SEO/aggregator content with no vendor attribution. The researcher was right to exclude it; recording here so a later pass does not 'discover' it. source
pricing.processing_rateupheldConfirmed — ConverseNow publishes no card rates and is not a processor. 'Not applicable' is the honest cell. source
pricing.contract_lengthupheldCorrect and should stay unknown. No MSA, ToS, or renewal language is published; the site's sitemap lists six pages, none commercial. This is the correct posture for a quote-only enterprise vendor and should not be back-filled from aggregators. source

Capability claims

ClaimAs first scoredVerdictWhat the verifier found
digital-sms-orderingyes (claimed) — SMS AI Conversationsdowngrade-to-partialThe only evidence is a four-word marketing tile on conversenow.ai/products.html ("Easy text ordering", "Order status updates", "Promotional messaging"). There is no product documentation, no described POS injection path for SMS orders, no payment-capture-over-SMS description, and no 10DLC/consent handling. The Dec-2024 release note mentions "text" only as a channel name. A named marketing tile with zero mechanics is partial, not yes. source
digital-voice-ai-phoneyes (documented)upheldIndependently confirmed: Phone Order AI is the core enumerated product; corroborated by the Valyant acquisition newsroom release and by third-party trade press describing production phone-order deployments. This is the vendor's actual business, not a claim. source
digital-drivethru-aiyes (documented)upheldConfirmed by the PR Newswire acquisition release (Valyant AI drive-thru stack, July 9 2024) and Restaurant Dive / NRN coverage, plus the Dec-2024 platform update citing a 95% drive-thru non-intervention rate. Newsroom-grade, not marketing-only. source
order-capture-voice-aiyes (documented)upheldSame evidence base as the phone/drive-thru cells; the integration list (Aloha, Brink, Qu, Xpient, Focus, Fiserv, Olo, ItsaCheckmate) appears on the vendor product page and the Deliverect partnership release corroborates live order injection into order-management systems. source
order-capture-kiosk-first-partypartial (claimed)downgrade-to-unknownThe evidence is the bullet "Kiosk compatibility" under the Order Injection API. That supports the API/channel cells, not a first-party kiosk. ConverseNow ships no kiosk software or hardware SKU and publishes no ADA/VPAT or unattended-EMV detail. Scoring partial on a *first-party* cell from a compatibility bullet is exactly the marketing-as-capability error. source
guest-loyalty-unified-profilepartial (claimed)downgrade-to-unknownRecycles the same "Personalized AI memory" bullet. Nothing documents a guest profile store, cross-channel identity merge, dedup, or operator access to profiles. Repeat-caller recall in a voice session is not a unified profile. source
guest-loyalty-ai-offer-recommendationpartial (claimed)downgrade-to-unknownThird cell scored off the same two marketing bullets ("AI memory" + "configure upsell by time/order size/guest behavior"). Rule-configured upsell with A/B testing is already credited at menu-pricing-upsell-prompts; there is no documented model-driven offer *recommendation* or offer-content generation. Double-counting one marketing line across three cells inflates the profile. source
digital-promo-paritypartial (claimed)downgrade-to-unknownI fetched conversenow.ai/products.html and could not locate the cited "discount management configurable to honor vs offer local deals" language; the page's promo-adjacent content is limited to upsell configuration and "Promotional messaging" under SMS. Unverifiable citation on a marketing page — downgrade. source
menu-pricing-franchise-hierarchypartial (claimed)downgrade-to-unknownSupported only by the single line "Menu, pricing, and behavior tuned by region/store" — the same line already used for multi-location-local-override-policy. One sentence cannot establish a corporate/franchise hierarchy with inheritance. Keep the override cell at partial; this one is unknown. source
guest-loyalty-consent-managementno (documented)downgrade-to-unknownThe cited source is a law-firm article about Taylor v. ConverseNow. A surviving CIPA class action alleges undisclosed AI interception; it does not affirmatively document that the platform lacks per-channel consent capture (call-recording disclosure prompts are in fact standard in voice-AI deployments and may be configured brand-side). Litigation is not product documentation. Confidence 'documented' is unsupportable here. source
commercial-month-to-month-contractno (documented)downgrade-to-unknownCited source is the sitemap. Absence of a published pricing/terms page proves nothing about term length — it is the textbook case for unknown. Confidence 'documented' on a sitemap is a category error. source
commercial-no-early-termination-feeno (inferred)downgrade-to-unknownThe researcher's own note says "No public MSA or ToS found stating ETF terms either way" — that is the definition of unknown, yet it was scored no. No public source affirmatively states an ETF exists. source
reliability-menu-build-servicepartial (claimed)downgrade-to-unknownInferring a vendor-run professional-services menu-build offering from the phrase "tuned by region/store" is speculation. No onboarding, implementation, or menu-build service is described anywhere on the site, and the researcher concedes process and cost are unstated. source
extensibility-doordash-preferredno (documented, NO source URL)upheldVerified independently: the 2026 DPIP roster is Checkmate, Chowly, Deliverect, Otter, PAR, Qu, Square, Stream, Toast, UrbanPiper. ConverseNow is absent. Score correct, but the dossier asserted 'documented' with no URL — supplying it here. source
extensibility-middleware-compatibilitypartial (documented) — "only one major aggregator (ItsaCheckmate)"upheldScore stands, but the supporting note is stale and understated: ConverseNow and Deliverect announced a voice-AI-into-unified-order/menu-management partnership on 2026-04-16 (PR Newswire), adding a second major middleware. The researcher missed a 2026 development on a cell they were scoring conservatively. source
commercial-processing-not-bundledyes (inferred, sourced to a marketing page)upheldA 'yes' resting on inference normally fails the bar, but here the capability is an absence: ConverseNow's enumerated products are four voice/API products, it is not an acquirer or PayFac, and no processing relationship is documented in any source I checked. No processor lock can be imposed by a layer that does not touch settlement. Caveat: the litigation record shows the AI collects card details by phone, so the tokenization/handoff path is undocumented — but that is a payments-security unknown, not a bundling yes. source
commercial-data-ownership-clauseno (documented)upheldScore stands but on different evidence than cited. The law-firm article does not document a contract clause; the privacy policy does the work — it positions ConverseNow as controller and routes guest rights through the Parent Restaurant Organization, with no merchant-ownership language. Swap the source; the natlawreview citation is being over-leveraged across three cells. source
digital-sms-orderingpartial / grade D, cites the four-bullet SMS marketing tile on products.htmlupgrade-to-yesThe 2026-08-01 pass downgraded this on the grounds that the only evidence was a marketing tile. I fetched the platform-updates page the record itself treats as grade B for every other voice cell, and it does more than name a channel: the December 2024 entry describes the launch of the next-generation GenAI platform "across phone, text, drive-through, and kiosks for all served brands", with "POS system integration" and "Order confirmation boards with real-time visibility". Text is therefore a first-party conversational ordering channel in production across the served brand estate, landing in the POS — which is the entire claim. The shortfalls the prior pass named (no 10DLC detail, no payment-capture path, no separate SMS product page) are real disclosure gaps but sit outside what this claim asks. Upgraded to yes and re-sourced from products.html to insights.html. source
digital-kioskpartial / grade D — "Order Injection API is marketed to bring AI ordering into kiosks; no first-party kiosk, no unattended EMV, no accessibility claim"downgrade-to-unknownThe claim asks whether the vendor ships a self-order kiosk running the same menu and modifier logic as the POS, with an accessibility-compliant UI and unattended EMV. I retrieved products.html: the only kiosk reference is the two-word bullet "Kiosk compatibility" under the Order Injection API, alongside "Mobile app integration" and "Custom workflows". insights.html adds kiosks as a channel the GenAI voice platform was deployed across — someone else's kiosk, running ConverseNow's voice layer. ConverseNow ships no kiosk software or hardware SKU, and the record's own note concedes all three of the claim's substantive requirements are absent. The record already downgraded the sibling cell order-capture-kiosk-first-party to unknown on exactly this evidence; leaving digital-kiosk at partial is the same marketing-as-capability error surviving under a different id. source
digital-upsell-enginepartial / grade D — "Upsell logic is configurable and A/B testable, but it is conversational — no digital checkout surface and no published attach-rate report"downgrade-to-noThis claim is scoped to digital checkout: suggestions presented at a digital ordering surface, with attach-rate reporting on them. I confirmed on products.html that the upsell configuration exists ("Upsell Logic" adjustable "by time, order size, or guest behavior", plus "A/B test strategies, analyze launches, and optimize operations") — but it is conversational, and it is already credited at menu-pricing-upsell-prompts. ConverseNow operates no digital checkout: the record itself scores digital-first-party-web, digital-native-app and digital-qr-table as no by product enumeration, and the product page lists four voice/API products with no ordering web or app surface among them. A capability cannot be partially present on a surface the vendor does not have. Scored no on the same enumeration basis the record applies to its other out-of-scope cells, not on absence of evidence. source
guest-loyalty-native-email-smspartial / grade D — "SMS promotions are a named product capability; no native email channel is documented"downgrade-to-noThe claim requires both email and SMS campaigns sent natively. The SMS half rests on the single bullet "Promotional messaging" under SMS AI Conversations — no list management, segmentation, scheduling or send reporting is described anywhere. The email half fails outright and does so on positive enumeration rather than silence: ConverseNow enumerates its channels twice, as four products on products.html (phone, drive-thru, SMS, Order Injection API) and again in the December 2024 platform update as "phone, text, drive-through, and kiosks". Email appears in neither list, and there is no marketing or campaign product in the six-page sitemap. A claim that requires two channels, one of which the vendor's own channel enumeration excludes, is not a partial. source
extensibility-order-injection-apipartial / grade D — "Order Injection API is a named product for mobile apps and kiosks, but ConverseNow owns no POS and publishes no spec"downgrade-to-unknownScored off a product name rather than what the product does. The claim wants a public write API that accepts externally originated orders into the POS as first-class tickets firing to KDS and printers and landing in reporting. ConverseNow's Order Injection API runs the other way: products.html markets it as "Mobile app integration", "Kiosk compatibility", "Real-time ordering" and "Custom workflows" — a third-party UI driving ConverseNow's ordering engine, not an inbound order API on a POS ConverseNow does not own. Nor is it public: no specification, auth model, versioning policy, rate limit or changelog is published, and docs., api., developer. and developers.conversenow.ai do not resolve. Something is running — status.conversenow.ai monitors an "API Server" and a "POS Server" — so unknown rather than no; but nothing retrievable establishes any part of this claim. source
reliability-local-transaction-enginepartial / grade D, raised from no on the Qu Intelligent Commerce Platform launch and a ConverseNow LinkedIn edge postdowngrade-to-unknownI retrieved the Qu release. Its only mention of ConverseNow is one sentence — "Qu will partner with Bites and ConverseNow to enable direct AI and voice ordering, with every order flowing into the POS—preserving guest data, margin, and control." The edge language belongs to Qu's own platform ("ICP embeds native intelligence directly in the store, at the edge"), not to ConverseNow, and the release names no discrete edge server and describes no component as generally available on-premise. The only ConverseNow-attributed edge statement is a LinkedIn marketing post about running "ASR, LLM and TTS" on-device — the speech stack, not the ordering or transaction path, which the Qu sentence puts in the POS. The claim asks the vendor to document a local transaction engine for the ordering path; ConverseNow documents nothing, and a partner press release plus a social post is not documentation. source
order-capture-drive-thrupartial / grade D — "Ships drive-thru voice order capture (Valyant heritage). Window separation, tandem-lane assignment and pull-forward are undocumented"downgrade-to-unknownThis claim is about drive-thru lane workflow, and it enumerates three things: order-point/pay-window/pickup-window separation, order sequencing or tandem-lane assignment, and pull-forward or parking-spot assignment. The record's own note concedes all three are undocumented, then scores partial anyway on the strength of ConverseNow having a drive-thru product at all — which is credited separately at digital-drivethru-ai. I retrieved products.html: the Drive-Thru Automation bullets are "Reduced wait times", "Increased throughput", "Track order accuracy" and "Real-time analytics". insights.html adds a non-intervention rate and order confirmation boards. Neither touches lane structure or vehicle sequencing, and ConverseNow ships no lane controller or timer. Nothing in the claim is evidenced. source
guest-loyalty-privacy-rights-toolingpartial / grade B, cites the privacy policy DSAR windowsdowngrade-to-unknownThe claim asks for admin tooling that lets an operator fulfil guest access and deletion requests, with deletion propagating to loyalty and marketing records. The privacy policy documents a process, not a tool: requests are made to ConverseNow by email or phone, routed through the "Parent Restaurant Organization", answered within 30 days for access and 45-90 days for deletion. No operator-facing screen, bulk lookup, export or deletion-propagation behaviour is described, and there is no loyalty or marketing record store in the product for deletion to propagate to. A vendor-run manual intake is the thing this claim is meant to distinguish tooling from. Grade B is also generous for a privacy policy standing in for product documentation. source
commercial-privacy-dsar-toolingpartial / grade B, cites the same privacy policy — "no in-app tooling or published DPA"downgrade-to-unknownThe same privacy policy is scored twice, here and at guest-loyalty-privacy-rights-tooling, and this claim has two limbs of which the record's own note concedes both fail: in-app tooling for locating, exporting and deleting an individual guest's records, and a published DPA the operator can execute. I read the Terms of Use section list in full — ConverseNow Services, Customer Obligations, Access, Privacy Policy and Confidentiality, Service Fees and Billing Methods, Limitation of Warranties, Limitations of Liability, Indemnification, Notice, Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Publicity, Miscellaneous — there is no DPA, no data-processing addendum reference and no sub-processor list, and none appears in the six-page sitemap. Neither limb is satisfied by anything retrievable. source
order-capture-voice-aiyes / grade B, cites insights.htmlupheldHeld to the differentiator-yes bar and it clears it. I retrieved insights.html myself: the December 2024 entry documents the next-generation GenAI platform launched "across phone, text, drive-through, and kiosks for all served brands" with "POS system integration", a 95% non-intervention rate defined as orders handled entirely by AI without live agent assistance, over 90% order accuracy and sub-second response; the May 2025 entry reports 4.55/5 across more than a million calls and a 25% reduction in order time. This is a first-party agent whose completed orders are written into the integrated POS — the claim exactly. Vendor platform-update documentation with operating metrics is a legitimate grade B; this is the one cell in the record where the strongest evidence and the strongest claim coincide. source
digital-drivethru-aiyes / grade B, cites insights.htmlupheldVerified from the vendor's own platform-update page rather than the press coverage the prior pass relied on: drive-through is one of the four channels the December 2024 GenAI launch covers "for all served brands", with a 95% non-intervention rate stated as orders completed without live agent assistance and real-time order confirmation boards integrated with POS systems. The escalation path is corroborated from the partner side by Deliverect, which I also retrieved: "flexible deployment (full automation or assist mode)". Capability originates with the Valyant AI acquisition of 2024-07-09. source
reliability-public-status-pageyes / grade B, cites status.conversenow.aiupheldI loaded status.conversenow.ai myself with no session or credentials. It resolves to a public Instatus page listing three components — API Server, POS Server and a Downstream Services group — each with its own state and a 100.0% uptime figure, plus "No notices reported for the past 7 days" and a link to 90 days of notice history, and subscription options by email, Slack and Microsoft Teams. Per-component, current and historical, no login: the claim is satisfied in full. Worth flagging for readers that this page is not linked from conversenow.ai and does not appear in its sitemap — it was found by subdomain probe, so an operator would not discover it unaided. source
commercial-processing-not-bundledyes / grade B, cites end-user-terms.htmlupheldA differentiator yes, so I went to the contract text rather than the note. Section 8.3 of the end-user terms states verbatim: "Pricing, payment processing, taxes, and receipts are handled by the Restaurant or its payment processors", and directs billing and refund questions to the Restaurant. The Terms of Use section 5 charges only "a subscription fee for Services in the amount set forth in the order form or invoice" — no merchant account, no processing schedule, no residual or rate language anywhere in its thirteen sections. ConverseNow is neither acquirer nor PayFac and cannot impose a processor lock on a settlement path it does not touch. Carrying the caveat forward: the CIPA litigation record indicates the AI takes card details by phone, so the tokenisation and handoff path is undocumented — a payments-security unknown, not a bundling one. source
commercial-no-early-termination-feeno / grade B, restored from the prior pass's unknown once the Terms of Use was locatedupheldThe prior pass downgraded this to unknown when no terms could be found at all; terms now exist, so I re-ran it. The claim asks whether the vendor's published terms state that there is no early termination fee or liquidated damages. I enumerated all thirteen headings of the Terms of Use — Services, Customer Obligations, Access, Privacy and Confidentiality, Service Fees and Billing Methods, Limitation of Warranties, Limitations of Liability, Indemnification, Notice, Governing Law, Dispute Resolution, Publicity, Miscellaneous — and there is no Term, Termination, Renewal or liquidated-damages section anywhere in it. The published terms therefore verifiably do not make the statement the claim requires, which is positive evidence of absence of a published no-ETF commitment. It is emphatically not a finding that an ETF exists: exit economics sit in the unpublished order form, and pricing.early_termination_fee correctly remains unknown. source
menu-pricing-upsell-promptspartial / grade D — "Upsell configurable by time, order size and guest behavior with A/B testing; per-channel scoping and attach-rate reporting not documented"upheldI located the language on products.html myself: "Upsell Logic" adjustable "by time, order size, or guest behavior", alongside "A/B test strategies, analyze launches, and optimize operations" and a configurable "Tone & Persona". Real configuration on real axes, so not unknown. But the claim asks for per-item and per-channel configuration with vendor-reported attach rate, and none of those three is evidenced — the axes offered are orthogonal to the ones asked for. Partial with the shortfall correctly named. Note this is the one place conversational upsell is credited: the digital-upsell-engine and guest-loyalty-ai-offer-recommendation cells were scored off this same sentence and are now no and unknown respectively. source
multi-location-local-override-policypartial / grade D — "States menu, pricing and behavior are tuned by region/store; no field-level lock model is documented"upheldI confirmed the sentence exists on products.html: "Menu, pricing, and behavior tuned by region/store." It establishes that menu and price vary per store under central configuration, which is the override half of the claim. The lock half — corporate designating specific fields as non-editable at store level — is entirely absent, and that shortfall is named. Partial stands on one marketing sentence, which is thin for a differentiator, so it is worth stating the limit plainly: nothing establishes who can edit what, and the menu itself lives in the POS. The prior pass used this same sentence to downgrade menu-pricing-franchise-hierarchy to unknown; that split is right, and this cell should not be inflated back toward yes without an admin guide that does not exist. source
extensibility-headless-embeddedpartial / grade D — "Order Injection API lets third-party apps and kiosks drive ConverseNow's ordering engine; undocumented publicly"upheldUnlike extensibility-order-injection-api, which I downgraded, this claim is directionally correct for what the product actually is: a third-party UI driving someone else's ordering engine by API. products.html markets the Order Injection API with exactly that shape — "Mobile app integration", "Kiosk compatibility", "Real-time ordering", "Custom workflows". Partial, with two shortfalls worth stating rather than one: no specification, auth model or rate limit is published and no developer subdomain resolves, and the engine being driven is a voice ordering engine that then writes into a third-party POS, not a POS transaction engine of ConverseNow's own. source
extensibility-middleware-compatibilitypartial / grade B — shortfall stated as "that is one middleware documented on the middleware's own site and the claim wants two"upheldValue stands but the stated shortfall is wrong and I am replacing it. Deliverect's own catalogue lists ConverseNow live in Australia, Canada, Mexico, the United Kingdom and the United States; ItsaCheckmate is not merely a logo either — a November 2023 joint announcement describes the partnership as letting ConverseNow "integrate its AI-powered ordering platform quickly and easily with dozens of POS systems", carried by RestaurantNews, Restaurant Magazine and Food On Demand. So two of the five named middlewares are attested. The real shortfall is directional and it is why this cannot reach yes: the claim asks whether the POS is a supported endpoint that middleware routes orders to, and ConverseNow is the opposite — the order source, using these platforms as its own POS-integration layer. It owns no POS endpoint for anyone to route to. source
digital-promo-parityunknown / grade F — prior pass could not locate the cited "honor vs offer local deals" language on products.htmlupheldValue stands, but the prior pass's reason was factually wrong and a later reader should not act on it. The language is on products.html and I retrieved it: promotional management via configurable "Coupons/Discounts" with options to "honor vs offer, optimizing for local deals". The original researcher cited it accurately. It still does not reach the claim, which is about a discount defined once being honoured identically across POS, kiosk and first-party digital with channel eligibility controls: ConverseNow operates none of those channels as ordering surfaces, promotions are defined in the POS, and one bullet about whether the voice agent honours or offers a coupon says nothing about cross-channel parity or eligibility control. Unknown for the right reason now rather than the wrong one. source
order-capture-floor-plan-editorno / grade E, citing conversenow.ai/products.html, retrieved 2026-08-01upheldValue is plainly right — ConverseNow ships no terminal, no table entity and no floor plan, and its four enumerated products are voice and API only. The grade is wrong and I am correcting it: grade E means credible independent third-party reporting, but the cited URL is the vendor's own feature page, which is grade C. This line also still carries retrieved 2026-08-01 while the 150-odd identically-reasoned scope-absence cells around it were re-checked on 2026-08-02 and carry grade C — it was missed in the sweep. Re-retrieved and normalised; no substantive change. source
