Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions on drive-thru systems to help you make an informed decision.
What technology makes up a modern drive-thru system?
Each global quick service restaurant chain may have a different set-up at their drive-thrus but most modern systems typically include dynamic digital displays, speakers, and headsets.
Digital displays enable restaurants to showcase their menus in a visually enticing and easy-to-read format, further improving the customer experience by presenting an order confirmation screen, while headsets and speakers ensure employees and customers can communicate clearly, limiting order errors.
Additional technology such as speed of service timers and vehicle loop detectors can optimize operations and reduce long wait times to improve customer satisfaction.

Speed, accuracy, and clarity are the three biggest priorities for customers using the drive-thru at their favorite quick service restaurant. Customers who took part in Mood Media’s 2025 Drive-Thru Experience Survey informed us of some of their main concerns: 47% of them cited unclear speakers and nearly 75% noted drive-thru timeliness.
