The annual list recognizes the industry-leading companies that are the best at what they do

ARLINGTON, Va., Dec. 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Qu, the creator of the Unified Commerce Platform (UCP) for enterprise restaurants, has achieved recognition on the Inc. Best in Business list in the AI Implementation category. Inc.'s annual Best in Business Awards celebrate exceptional achievements by innovative companies making a profound impact on their industries.

Honorees in this year's "AI Implementation" award category include standout organizations driving real operational results through artificial intelligence, including increased efficiency, improved customer experiences, reduced costs, or new revenue opportunities. Qu was selected for its foundational advances in edge computing that enable AI to operate reliably and efficiently in busy restaurant environments.

In 2025, Qu introduced breakthrough innovations that set the stage for successful AI in restaurants, including Qube: Qu Business Edge™ — the industry's first edge-powered intelligence platform, delivering 99.99% uptime and bringing AI inference directly into the restaurant for faster, more consistent execution. Qube is the standard for smarter, more resilient restaurants to:

Together, these capabilities establish a new benchmark for restaurant infrastructure. By bringing intelligence to the edge, Qu ensures restaurants are not just prepared for AI — they are positioned to win with it.

"AI can only succeed when the foundation is solid," said Amir Hudda, chief executive officer of Qu. "Restaurants need clean data, stable architecture, and always-on operations before they can unlock automation, personalization, and intelligent decision-making at scale. Qube gives brands that strong foundation, delivering the reliability, edge intelligence, and connected data needed to translate AI into real business outcomes."

Qu is the first POS platform to earn an "Excellent" rating from DoorDash for uptime and its low order failure rates, and it has been named to Deloitte's Technology Fast 500 for the second consecutive year, ranking #174 overall and #2 in the DC region. These honors underscore Qu's rapid growth and leadership in enterprise restaurant technology.

"We appreciate Inc. recognizing the work our team is doing to build the next generation of restaurant infrastructure," added Hudda. "This honor reflects the trust leading brands place in Qu and the results they're seeing, from faster service and higher check averages to improved stability and operational resilience."

"Each Best in Business honoree achieved a breakthrough moment this year. Some unveiled groundbreaking innovations while others launched savvy marketing campaigns or strategically implemented AI in their companies," says Bonny Ghosh, editorial director at Inc. "No matter what their business win looked like, their projects and initiatives had a sizable impact on their company and even on their industry at large, making them worthy of this honor."

Inc.'s Best in Business Awards are open to companies of all sizes and types, in all industries and locations. Public, private, nonprofit, subsidiary, U.S.-based, and international companies are all encouraged to apply. Inc. editors and reporters hand-review every application and select Best in Business honorees that, in each of the award categories, have had an outstanding influence on their communities, their industries, the environment, or society as a whole.

This is Qu's first appearance on the Inc. Best in Business list.
