I am pretty sure In N Out was the first to do this, but many In N Outs have lines that spill out up to a block away on the road at busy times and that is with two drive-through lanes.

More than that. First time I saw it was at a HUGE CFA in Manhatten and that was in 2014.

Chik-Fil-A is a stupidly well run business that very smartly hires good people, keeps them on (somehow), keeps prices reasonable while maintaining some of the highest quality food and customer service in fast food.

It is amazing to the point where I'm stunned that, particularly McDonald's who has more money than the Vatican, their competitors haven't just copied what they do wholesale to try to keep up.

In and Out would do well here. Certainly beats the crap out of Water Burger or McDonalds.

My first job when I was 16 was at Burger King 21 years ago and I did this. Just without the iPads.

I was always handling the money cause I was the only one that could make change in my head quickly and correctly.

Their operator model is the best in QSR - by far - for getting and retaining talent.

There are some smaller regional chains that are pretty close...but CFA is by far the best national chain.

It’s hard to make a national chain have the general consistency that CFA has. Maybe it’s their Christian beliefs

Stopped at the new Chic-fil-a in Gonzales. I don't know if this is just during lunch rush, but they had 4 people working the drive-thru lane. 2 had Ipads and little menus and came to your window to take your order, 1 came up later in line to give you a receipt and take your payment, and another one was walking back and forth from the pick-up window with drinks and food carrying it to you. Pretty efficient, never even stopped at the little voice box or the window. Just drove on through.


I've seen the McDonald's on Government do this during the lunch rush. They just tryin to help the fatties get their beetus faster.

The one on Highway 280 has been doing it for close to ten years, before they even had iPads. And they STILL managed to always get the order correct at the window.

Chik fil A is a well oiled machine.

It's only been going on for about the last 10 years. They are the model of efficiency and customer service.

In 1978, Wendy's used outside order takers at some new stores. Plug a portable menu into a jack under the f

The girls who work the lanes are usually topless on Sunday if the weather is warm.

The one in Covington has 2 drive thru waitresses from open to close. Their service is amazing. The other night I drove thru to get my wife a shake and for the first time at a chic fila I was told the shake machine was broken. Imagine my surprise when I got to the window and saw 2 employees actually working on it and it was actually broken unlike every other fast food place ever in my life
