Winter is still here, and it can cause a lot of outside problems in drive-thru lanes that disrupt a good customer experience. One of the problems is the difficulty in making outside repairs to improve service times. However, now is a good time to start planning for when the weather becomes easier to work in.

Drive-thru headsets fill a vital role in filling drive-thru customer orders quickly and accurately. However, they’re not the only one. Base stations play an equally important role as they are the central communication hubs that facilitate clear and efficient communication between order takers and customers.  

In the drive-thru world, headsets and timers are essential for giving customers fast accurate service and a positive drive-thru experience so you can provide fast service and a positive experience at your restaurant. CE Repairs has been providing quality repairs of these tools for more than 40 years, and you can count on us when you need it the most.

Down time for important drive-thru equipment is a loss for drive-thru guests and your revenues. For example, suppose your headset system has a full breakdown. When customers see how much time it slows down drive-thru service, many are glad to exit the lane and find another drive-thru with reliable service.

At CE we stock and sell high quality drive-thru equipment and accessories at practical prices. These include our batteries, cabled intercom, and related components and accessories from HME, Panasonic, 3M/PAR, CE and Fast Track.

People like to eat certain foods at different times of the year, and the upcoming holiday season is no exception. Seasonal rotating of LTOs (Limited Time Offerings) is an effective way to attract fast food customers to your drive-thru.

Broken equipment is an irritation for drive-thru operators, crew members, and customers – especially essential equipment such as headsets and timers. In most cases, CE Repairs can repair your damaged product within 24 hours of receiving it (some limitations and exclusions apply). If we can’t fix it within 24 hours, the repair is FREE.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is continuing to catch on in the drive-thru industry, especially when it comes to taking customer orders. However, there are many things AI can do to help kitchen crews work more efficiently.  These include:

Winter is approaching, and even on cold days customers expect fast service. These techniques can reduce service times at any time of the year.

It’s frustrating when an important drive-thru equipment requires lengthy down time due to extensive repair. Fortunately there are many times when broken equipment might not need a full drive-thru repair at our shop. In fact, our Drive-Thru Repair Technical Support can guide you in fixing it yourself.
