Keep Drive-Thru Profitability From Declining During Busy Summer Days

The high volume of cars in drive-thru lanes continues to increase during the summer. Unfortunately, profitability declines due to the high cost of labor, goods, and employee retention. Here are some good ways to keep your profitability where it needs to be.

• Know how many crew members you need on staff for efficient service during peak hour and schedule them efficiently.
• Train employees to correctly perform multiple line and prep tasks so you don’t have to staff extra personnel for fast, correct service.
• Minimize the high cost of goods by focusing on high-selling food items that consist of simple, inexpensive, and easy-to-use ingredients.
• Focus your menu on high-margin food items and remove low-margin items.
• Retaining your best employees helps control high costs, however it can require incentives and benefits to keep them working on your team.
