A QSR Magazine study found that it only took three minutes and 13 seconds from the point of ordering your BK chicken fries (and what have you) to the moment you receive your food. Following BK in the speed ratings were Dunkin’, Wendy’s, Taco Bell, Arby’s, Carl’s Jr., Hardee’s, Chick-fil-A, and last but not least McDonald’s.


quote:

According to QSR, “being fast doesn’t mean being the busiest.” McDonald’s and Chick-fil-A are the two top-selling fast food chains in America, but they are also the two slowest. Last year Burger King ranked fourth place in QSR's study. This year Burger King is number one, even though they increased their wait time by four seconds from last year.



Ranking:

1. Burger King: 193.31 seconds
2. Dunkin: 200.74 seconds
3. KFC: 218.95 seconds
4. Wendy's: 226.07 seconds
5. Taco Bell: 236.5 seconds
6. Arby's: 237..93 seconds
7. Carl's Jr: 252.91 seconds
8. Hardee's: 255.83 seconds
9. Chick Fil A: 260.85 seconds
10. Mcdonalds: 273.29 seconds

I guess they counted all the people who get pissed off and drive away without their food because they're tired of waiting for it.

That’s because it’s a guarantee they’ll ask you to back up and pull up again to make the time look good.

Certain Chick-fil-a's have their processes down so good that there are times when I barely stop moving the car. When it comes to quality, speed and service, Chick-fil-A is a category of one.

I agree, their system has everything moving well and its organized, with great customer service

Plus they deal with big crowds constantly , not sure the same could be said about some of the other chains

This is true in my days, but the lines are also much smaller compared to Chick-Fil-A. And I have had some meals from BK that weren't exactly fresh and you know they just shoved the old one in the bag.

Of course it's the fastest, especially when you take into account there is 100% disregard for accuracy of the order.

That's because they have no customers.

I guess it depends on how much culcha is working there. Lots of culcha long wait little bit of culcha no wait.



And I wonder where popeyes scored? Every time i go there they always say pull into a parking spot or they are out of spicy chicken.

All of this. Even being the only customer drive thru or inside they will make you pull up to stop the clock.

The Millerville location has it almost down to a science.

Chick-Fil-A is #1. I don't know how they do it by y'all, but by me they have two people standing by the drive-thru menu that you give your order to and they have a portable credit card machine so you pay right there. Then you go through the line and there is another person half-way thru the line handing out receipts. Then there is one more person standing outside the drive-thru window handing bags and drinks to people.

It's like a fast-food assembly line. I barely even have to stop the car it moves so quick.

All of the other fast food chains are pretty much the same... except for McDonalds which is slow... along with Popeye's.
