The holiday season can be a busy time for drive-thrus as shoppers drop by for a bite to eat after a long shopping excursion. To keep your drive-thru lane moving smoothly and efficiently:

·         Make sure all drive-thru parts and equipment – headsets, timer systems, etc. – are in good working  order. Have backups on hand in case a critical part goes down.

·         Have extra staffing available to fill in when necessary.

·         Make sure crewmembers know how to prepare and package any specialty items you offer during the holiday season.

·         Encourage mobile orders by Internet or your social media app. Designate a special pickup area so customers who order remotely don’t clog the lane.

·         Accept mobile payments. Swiping a phone app rather than fumbling through a purse or wallet can shave time off the payment step.
