If you own or operate multiple drive-thru restaurants, your time is your most important asset. These four techniques can improve your time management skills and the performance of your drive-thrus.

1. Standardize your equipment.

Using the same drive-thru parts and equipment makes it easier to analyze and compare equipment performance between stores. It also simplifies paperwork and repair work.

2. Cross-train crewmembers.

Employees that can work multiple positions provide more flexibility when planning work schedules and when filling in for sick crewmembers or those on vacation.

3. Use remote networking to be everywhere at once.

With up-to-date headsets, timer systems and mobile devices, you can access performance data, resolve problems, and make changes at each store from anywhere at any time.

4. Manage your data in the cloud.

Cloud computing allows you to manage performance data from every drive-thru from one central location in real time.

Bonus Technique: CE’s Drive-Thru Protection Plan provides a powerful efficiency tool when managing drive-thru parts that need repair. It provides unlimited repairs for one low monthly fee, so you never have to delay needed repairs due to cash flow restraints. Repairing all your drive-thru parts through one reliable vendor also reduces the paperwork, billing and other activities that go along with this important activity.
