Drive Thru Innovation and Development
Case studies by clients
Drive-thru business has proven to generate 70 percent of total revenue for quick service or fast casual brands, but the current architectural prototype of these brands doesn’t reflect this business model. Even new prototypes still rely on traditional retail and order/sit down dining. That in-store physical experience is 90 percent of the investment, leaving 10 percent to the drive-thru experience – a split that hasn’t changed since the invention of the drive-thru concept. New developments in IT and social media engagement have created even more challenges and opportunities in prototype development.
