Title: DRIVE-THROUGH SYSTEM
1DRIVE-THROUGH SYSTEM
2What is required of your drive-through system
other than a pos?
- The following is a list of additional equipment
you could require for your Drive-Thru System.
Some of them might be provided by the maker of
your point-of-sale system, while others you might
need to buy separately - Drive-thru intercom system
- menu outlines (digital or static)
- Additional exterior signs (digital or static)
- Kiosks with self-service kitchen printers
- a kitchen display system with electronics
- camera system sensor in a vehicle
- headphones for staff
- Remember that you must ensure that any POS
peripheral equipment you buy is compatible with
your POS system. Additionally, you should
probably make sure that all of your equipment
bears the same logo.
3How to perform drive-through ordering system
optimization
- Follow these five wise operational advice to
enhance the efficiency of your drive-through - Improve Your Restaurant Menu Converting Your
Static Menu Board to a Digital Menu Board Can Be
Used To Upsell, Promote Specials, And Change Your
Menu On The Fly Your Drive-Thru System. The
digital menu board will immediately update
whenever you modify the menu in your POS when it
is integrated with it. - Add digital ordering and delivery A lot of
clients prefer to either place an order in
advance via a website or app or have their order
delivered to their door by a service (such as
Door Dash). Allowing online orders not only gives
customers a more convenient ordering option, but
also shortens the line at the drive-thru. You
might designate a separate drive-through lane for
picking up online and mobile orders to speed
things up even further.
4Included The Work Order Board The majority of
POS programs let you install a display that faces
the consumer. This display can be used to display
the totals and items that clients have ordered.
This reduces errors and could also contain
upselling suggestions. Your customers might also
be able to pay using this display and even give a
tip depending on your point-of-sale system. A
self-service kiosk could be added if you desire a
completely automated order screen. Use
a customer-management system POS systems
frequently come with some sort of analytics or
customer management suite, or your system may
link with third-party customer management
software to gather important data about your
customers. Additionally, there are
drive-through-specific customer recognition and
analytics systems that can even track your
customers' license plates.
5- Consider a loan for equipment If you can't
afford to buy POS equipment altogether, you might
be able to finance your system by getting a loan
from a third party or from your POS provider
directly. It's perfect that certain POS providers
offer 0 equipment financing. As you will nearly
always wind up overpaying for your equipment, you
should avoid leasing your POS gear (think of it
as renting the hardware rather than making
payments on it to purchase it ultimately).
6TAKE YOUR DRIVE-THRU SYSTEM TO THE NEXT LEVEL
- It's possible for many restaurants to get away
with investing in a point-of-sale system that is
only "functional." However, software that is even
slightly cumbersome or perplexing might be
disastrous for a company with a busy
drive-through. Customers need to be able to place
orders easily and fast, and you need to be able
to track orders across various stations.
Thankfully, there are many POS systems available
that can give you these characteristics as well
as a few more useful connectors. For in-depth

systems, visit our section on restaurant POS
